Troy Daniels 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

I recently saw some stat that said Troy Daniels has the longest average made field goal distance in the league, at like 22 or 23 feet. If you were the one who found out that stat and are mad that you aren’t getting the credit you deserve (I know that feeling, people reupload my vids…

Jonathon Simmons 17 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

Every time I see Jonathon Simmons on the court it reminds of how we were all robbed of a whole year of exciting action from Ben Simmons. I can’t help it. Seeing the name “Simmons” on the back of a jersey, it doesn’t even matter what color, I get all riled up. Making this vid…

C.J. Miles 27 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

For those who say that DownToBuck is a man utterly beholden to view counts, to subscriber totals and likes, behold: a C.J. Miles video that will get, at most, 15 views, as well as cost me dozens of subscribers. No one cares about C.J. Miles unless you’re talking about the Instagram model, which I’m definitely…

Danilo Gallinari 29 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

I wish I could remember more about Danilo Gallinari’s time with the Knicks. It must have been so sweet as a Knicks fan to see him develop so nicely his sophomore year, and then bittersweet to see him traded because Carmelo couldn’t even wait until the offseason to sign. But I can’t. I can’t bring…

Nikola Jokic 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

There doesn’t appear to be much lingering ill-will between Nikola Jokic and Jusuf Nurkic, which really sucks for people (like me, apparently) who want the NBA to be a WWE-like spectacle full of storylines and beefs and grudges. Plain old basketball is really sweet, but it is made sweeter when it has PERSONALITY. Or something….

Bojan Bogdanovic 20 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

Bojan Bogdanovic has been in a bit of a slump recently. For those not in the know, slumps (among other things, like boils) are what happen when you don’t make enough sacrifices to Perun. With the playoffs right around the corner, now seems like a bad time to be pissing off the head of Slavic…

Serge Ibaka 24 Points/6 Blocks Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

Where did Serge Ibaka’s shot-blocking go? It’s still there, a little bit, but he now hardly resembles the dude who, once upon a time, blocked almost 4 shots a game. Yes, I am aware of the conspiracy theory regarding Ibaka and his age. Yes, I realize that it does nicely explain his earlier-than-expected statistical decline….

Alex Poythress 11 Points 76ers Debut Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

It seems like, in a time long past, I had heard the name Alex Poythress. That’s impressive by itself. He must have been something special as a high-schooler for me to have even heard of him (was he better or worse than Aquille Carr??????). But then what? He went to a good team and won…

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2017)

I don’t even remember how to write descriptions any more. That whole April Fool’s thing messed me up real bad. I have a lot of ideas for funny sensational blurbs in the title, and a lot of ways to make fun of those ball-handling gloves and jump programs, but no ideas for a description for…

DTB’s Official NBA Power Rankings (Week 22)

Golden State Warriors (62-14, 4-0 this week) (last week: #1 [3-0] +0) If the Warriors could move up any further in my OFFICIAL POWER RANKINGS, they would, because they just…
