When I can piss of two fanbases at once, I have to take the opportunity: this Hawks-Wizards matchup is the lamest series in the whole first round. Two teams that are pretty okay (almost TOO okay), one more okay in the other, but only one super-compelling player between them. No, not Mike Muscala. I’m talking…

Joe Johnson 21 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (4/15/2017)
This is Joe Johnson’s fourth highest-scoring game of the season. Combine that with his clutch shot at the end of regulation to avert overtime and snag the Game 1 Win, and you can only come to one conclusion: Iso Joe has STEPPED UP for the playoffs. He is EMBRACING THE SPOTLIGHT. He MAKES BIG SHOTS….
Read MoreLance Stephenson 16 Points Full Highlights (4/15/2017)
Lance Stephenson vs. LeBron James part deux was kind of a disappointment. The actual game was good, but where was the blatant antagonization of LeBron by Lance Romance? I wasn’t expecting another ear-blow, but I was expecting the threat of imminent physical violence. If the NBA isn’t going to be another WWE, I might have…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/15/2017)
Serge Ibaka showed up. DeMar DeRozan kinda showed up. And that was it for the Raptors. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being “not perturbed at all” and 10 being “bootyblasted”, how mad at Dwayne Casey are Raptors fans right now? Based on what I’m seeing on social media, I’m going with 8-“Murderously enraged”…
Read MoreMalcolm Brogdon 16 Points Full Highlights (4/15/2017)
Playoffs are here! Not as exciting for me as the regular season (scrubs hardly ever go off in the playoffs, for whatever reason), but still, fun can be extracted from these games. And with the playoffs’ arrival, we can expect another thing arriving in tandem: a Raptors first-game loss. I spent pretty much this whole…
Read MoreLeBron James All 145 Dunks Full Highlights (2016-17 Season Dunkilation)
LeBron James drove up to the private Miami marina where Kyrie Irving’s yacht was kept. He hadn’t brought much with him; just a small bag (his teammates called it a “man-purse”) containing sunglasses, sunscreen, wallet, and, of course, condoms. Kyrie’s yacht parties always necessitated condoms. He parked his car and, after being easily waved through…
Read MoreDTB’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…
Read MoreTim 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,…
Read MoreEdy 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…
Read MoreWillie 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…
