DTB’s Official NBA Power Rankings (Week 23)

It’s all over. For the final edition of my OFFICIAL POWER RANKINGS, I ranked teams strictly by basketball-reference’s SRS (simple rating system) stat, because at this point, it doesn’t matter whether I think a team is overachieving or underachieving. Their records are final and immortal, recorded by scribes upon the stone tablets in the NBA…

Tim Quarterman 10 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

This is it. Just like last year (Damien Inglis 10 points), in true DownToBuck fashion, I’ve saved the absolute worst for last. No lie. This is the worst highlight vid I’ve done this year. If you want to go through the 1500+ other vids I’ve made this season to try and find a worse one,…

Edy Tavares 6 Points/6 Blocks Cavaliers Debut Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

I debated for a long time on whether or not to do this vid depicting Walter “Edy” Tavares scoring 6 points and blocking 6 shots in his first game for the Cavaliers. I even made a pros and cons list, which will be now posted in full, without edits or commentary. CONS: -Only 6 points…

Willie Reed 16 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

I feel bad for the Heat. They come all the way back from the bottom of the standings, bring themselves up to .500, playoffs almost in reach, only to lose out because of all the crazy tank lineups that occur on the last day of the season. In the end, no one will remember what…

Shabazz Muhammad 22 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

Good news Timberwolves fans! This was possibly your last time seeing Shabazz Muhammad in a Timberwolves jersey! If everything goes right during the offseason, you won’t have to watch him not pass the ball ever again. Well, you’ll still have to watch him whenever the team that signs him next plays Minnesota, but that’s doable….

Gerald Green 18 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

With this game, Gerald Green has increased his dunk total for the season from 5 to 8. There will be no dunkilation. He’s still got the hops. Maybe not as many hops as he had in his first year in Phoenix (go watch the dunkilation from that season RIGHT NOW), but he can still get…

Ish Smith 20 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

You know how many people care right now that Ish Smith had 20 and 10? None. None people. The Pistons season is over, and all their fans are trying to forget right now that it ever happened. They liked Ish, and maybe they’d care if this happened a month ago, but they definitely don’t care…

Sheldon McClellan Career High 18 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

I didn’t want to have to do Sheldon McClellan highlights again this year, because I didn’t want to have to decide if I would use his old name or his new name “Sheldon Mac”. That’s a lot of pressure to put on a lowly highlight-compiler, having to decide which name is “correct”. Legally, he’s now…

Justin Holiday 20 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

I guess you could say that Justin… is taking… a… HOLIDAY! HAHAHAHA! WOOOOOOOOO!

Elfrid Payton 21 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

These are the last Elfrid Payton highlights of the season. Finally. This guy is incapable of having a good game that doesn’t result in an overlong vid. Too many assists, for one thing. Can he tone down the passing a bit next season? Another thing, not enough threes. The good thing about threes is that…
