DTB’S OFFICIAL QUESTION OF THE DAY: Was Greg Monroe’s performance against the Milwaukee Bucks a revenge game, or was it not a revenge game? OFFICIAL ARGUMENTS FOR IT BEING A REVENGE GAME: -He was playing against the team that traded him. This is the baseline requirement for a game being a “revenge game”. -He scored…

Dragan Bender 11 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
Dragan Bender just played the second-most minutes of his young NBA career, 33 of them to be exact. This is after the steady diet of twenty-or-so minutes per game that he had been receiving before this game. I guess I’m not exactly sure if these extra minutes are a reward for improved play or if…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 14 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
I admit, when the Kings signed Serbian rookie Bogdan Bogdanovic to a three-year, 27-million dollar contract, I was a little skeptical. That’s a lot of faith to show towards a guy who hadn’t yet appeared in an NBA game and had been drafted late in the first round a few years before. Yeah, he sort…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 26 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
Last time I made a Willie Cauley-Stein highlight video, he was stepping out to hit threes and showing some of his masterful midrange touch. I might not have gone out and explicitly said it, but I figured that Kristaps Porzingis and Anthony Davis and especially Brook Lopez were about to be made obsolete by this…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
I always kind of assumed that Trevor Ariza was somewhere around 40 percent from three during his time with the Rockets. Just on the basis of how many games he had where he hit a bunch. Turns out I was being a really big dumbass, because he’s shot 35%-ish from three during those four years….
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 24 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
The problem with drafting project players, and the Thunder found out, is that they sometimes take a really long time to develop. You can devote all your resources, give them the opportunities, and sometimes it just takes them five or six years to contribute majorly to winning basketball. Often, you will have moved on long…
Read MoreDeyonta Davis 14 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
Much like the last (and only, before tonight) time I made a Deyonta Davis highlight package, the buckets contained within fail to elicit much excitement from me. Put more simply, they’re boring. All it is is Davis getting spoonfed looks right at the basket, finishing them in the lamest way possible. Can he create his…
Read MoreWes Johnson 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
In case you were wondering, no, I did not forget to put “Career High” in the title of this video. Apparently Wes Johnson scored 29 points his rookie year, somehow, even though he was even then a huge bust, and I even made highlights of him scoring 27 with the Lakers. That vid got only…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 40 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
Players in the NBA who have multiple 40-point games this season: James Harden Giannis Antetokounmpo Khris Middleton Players in the NBA who don’t have multiple 40-point games this season: All members of the “superteam” Warriors Jonas Jerebko LeBron James Everyone else Players in the NBA who have the most money midrange jumper in the league:…
Read MoreThon Maker 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
Defying the expectations of pretty much all Bucks fans, Thon Maker did not build on the “promising” playoff series he had against the Raptors. Notice those quotation marks? Those mean that DownToBuck did not think Maker’s play against Toronto in the postseason was very promising at all. He looked kind of okay, sometimes. Nothing that…
