Dennis Smith Jr. 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/11/2017)

My vibe receptors can be overly sensitive sometimes. On occasion I will receive false or erroneous vibes. If I stand too close to my microwave while it’s cooking me a Hot Pocket, for example, any NBA player I see will give me Matt Carroll vibes. The nuclear-energy research facility a few blocks away gives me…

Will Barton 26 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)

This is the first time in DownToBuck history where a player gets an assist as the commentator says with disgust “What a terrible pass!”. Congratulations Will Barton! You suck! Your crappy pass somehow resulted in an assist, the passing equivalent of banking in a three from the corner. Aside from that oddity, Barton had a…

Skal Labissiere 19 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)

Another day, another vid with way too many free throws. Skal Labissiere hit 5 shots tonight, a fact secondary to the 9 of 10 he shot from the line. I even thought about not making this vid, but I did anyway, obviously, because you’re watching the fruits of my wretched labors. I made it because,…

Marreese Speights 19 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)

At 0:35 of this video, behold: the anguished cry of a man who has nothing left to live for. Marreese Speights put on a show tonight in garbage time, abusing Juan Hernangomez even as the Magic suffered a fairly thorough defeat. He did this despite suffering a total loss of conatus after missing a free-throw…

Damyean Dotson 14 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)

Rookies, understandably, are not always aware of the varied nuances of the NBA game. Not just the act of playing, but the mannerisms, the traditions, the unwritten rules. Damyean Dotson is a rookie for the Knicks, and it is painfully obvious. Someone get that man a savvy vet to teach him the ways of the…

Dejounte Murray 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/11/2017)

This is another one of those games where I’d be better off making a video called “San Antonio Spurs 51 Field Goals Full Highlights” instead of making a buhjillion individual highlight vids for all the scrubs that went off. Not calling Dejounte Murray a scrub. No way. I was referring more to Brandon Paul. Murray…

T.J. Warren 35 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)

No jokes, no humor, no sarcasm, T.J. Warren is one of my favorite players in the league right now. The three-ball that I was expecting he’d develop hasn’t come through, but that doesn’t matter. Why shoot threes when you can step inside and make it rain from the midrange? Defenders aren’t expecting it these days….

Lonzo Ball Triple Double 19 Pts/13 Asts/11 Rebs Full Highlights (11/11/2017)

Lonzo Ball got a triple-double tonight, the youngest person in NBA history ever to do so. Great. But there are more pressing matters that I need to discuss with you. Urgently. These matters are of the utmost importance, and cannot be ignored. First urgent topic: Lonzo Ball has the most perfect hairline I’ve ever seen….

Davis Bertans 16 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/11/2017)

These Davis Bertans highlights also double as Matt Costello highlights. In case you were not really in the mood for the Latvian Laser but instead wanted the… Michigander Misanthrope. I see other highlight channels doing combined highlights, and I wanted in on the action. Kill two birds with one stone, as the saying goes. The…

Jamal Murray Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)

I was really, really worried that Jamal Murray wouldn’t surpass his previous career high of 30 tonight. He tied it with like seven whole minutes to go in the THIRD quarter, and I was like “hell yeah 40 points here we go”. So sure was I of Murray’s oncoming 40-burger that I strapped myself into…
