Yogi Ferrell 21 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Believe me or don’t, but this is Yogi Ferrell’s second-best scoring game after that 9-triple outburst he had on national TV. That game really messed with people’s perceptions of him, maybe irreversibly. And who can blame them? Unless you’re a Mavs fan or a ravenous highlights-consumer or a fantasy-fanatic, literally the only thing you’ve seen…

Jarrod Uthoff 12 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Several months of highlights, over 1500 vids worth, featuring endless career-highs and season-highs and actually mostly just a whole bunch of crap, it’s all been leading up to this. Jarrod Uthoff scoring 12 points in the NBA. This is why DownToBuck exists. Do you feel it? The feeling of a brand-new scrub asserting himself in…

Bobby Brown 16 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Bobby Brown is an NBA player. He was apparently still in the league around the time I started actually caring about scrubs in the NBA, but I don’t remember any of his earlier stint. At all. Does anyone? He was on four different teams in his only previous two years, so maybe there’s a handful…

Skal Labissiere 25 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

First Boban Marjanovic, now Skal Labissiere, it looks like the Rockets bigs just can’t handle extreme length. Take note, Western Conference playoff teams! All you need to do to gain advantage against Houston is find some really tall dude and give him lots of skills and offensive moves and then go to town! Easier said…

Dwight Powell Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Dwight “Dwight Power” Powell, as the season had gone along, has been attempting to make the difficult transition from “big guy who can only dunk” to “big who can dunk but also shoot long jumpers”. Until tonight, I wouldn’t say that his attempts had been met with much success. He could hit the jumper, sometimes,…

Tyler Ulis 20 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

The Suns are executing next-level tanking. Regular tanking just isn’t good enough for them anymore, and why should it be? When faced with a team like the Mavericks who have their own nigh-impenetrable tank, sometimes you have to kick things up a notch. They already permanently benched Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe, leaving the vast…

Willy Hernangomez 24 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

With this game, Willy Hernangomez is basically telling Joakim Noah, “Yeah you can just keep doing ‘roids for as long as you want, since getting held out of games for injecting raw 100% horse testosterone into your scrotum and perineum is better than getting held out of games because you flat out suck at basketball…

Boban Marjanovic 14 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Two games with major minutes for Boban Marjanovic, two wins. Huh. How about that. It’s almost like, you play your good players, you win basketball games! Can’t Van Coach proved tonight that he CAN coach, but only if he’s not doing what he thinks he needs to do to win games. Oops! At least we’re…

Danilo Gallinari 34 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

The Scepter of Blame glows red once again. It desires to apportion blame according to who was most at fault for the Nuggets playoff-hopes-crushing loss to the Russell Westbrooks! It is placed in the center of the dimly-lit room, surrounded by various Nuggets-related people and things. Let the ritual begin! First, in spins itself in…

Nikola Jokic 23 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Uh… what just happened? The Nuggets have been divested of their playoff hopes thanks to the late-game heroics of one Russell Westbrook (or as the Nuggets commentator says, “Wussell Restbrook”). This was kind of a choke job, and part of the blame has to fall on Nikola Jokic. Not all of the blame, but some…
