Is Kris Dunn… legit? Find out the answer next time on “Discussing the Merits of Various Players Once Considered Draft Busts with DownToBuck”! Fine, I’ll tell you now, since you’re being so impatient. Kris Dunn. Legit? The truth is, it’s too early to say. He’s putting up some numbers with a horrible team, which is…

Tyler Johnson 25 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2017)
It was nice of Tyler Johnson to wait until year two of his new contract before starting to suck. Most dudes begin sucking as soon as the ink dries on their new deal, but Tyler gave the Heat a whole year of pretty darn good basketball. He didn’t need to do that. No one would…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 27 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2017)
Evan Fournier is quietly averaging more points than ever, 18 per game, on a better efficiency, than he ever has before. Normally, a young-ish (he’s only 25) player doing that would garner at least some attention, but not Fournier. The Magic have a tendency to take exciting players and make it so that no one…
Read MoreMaxi Kleber 13 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/6/2017)
In a previous video I analyzed the facts and came to a conclusion that I thought was truthful: that Daniel Theis was a better German rookie than Maxi Kleber. The facts were analyzed with the strictest rigor, my results checked by many respected scientists. Still, I feel like I have come to the wrong conclusion….
Read MoreBryn Forbes 17 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2017)
Alert San Antonio residents: it is currently snowing where I am and it is not currently snowing where you are. So there. I’ve got a really warm blanket covering me with a little cat named Japurri Purrker perched on it and he is purring. A warm beverage is sitting on my desk. Outside my window,…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 13 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/5/2017)
Last night, Fred “Mini Miles Plumlee” VanVleet of the Raptors faced off against fellow midgets Tyler Ulis and Mike James of the Suns, and the result was actually not as exciting as you would expect. The combined fifteen points and four assists of the two Phoenix midgets was roughly as impressive as the statistical output…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 16 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2017)
I feel for my Australian brothers. NBA games that happen at normal times here in the states are at weird times over there, plus everything costs more because they’re on an island (they tell you it’s a continent but they’re wrong), plus the government censors the internet so I’m not even sure if they get…
Read MoreOG Anunoby 16 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2017)
I was just looking at OG Anunoby’s basketball-reference page, and you know how at the bottom of every player’s page there’s a section for transactions? Like, when they got traded and for whom? I shouldn’t have looked at that. Frickin’ Greivis Vasquez, man. Why the heck did the Bucks trade for him? We traded TWO…
Read MoreSteven Adams 20 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2017)
This is going to be the laziest, cop-outiest take imaginable, but have you noticed that in these last three games where Steven Adams has been more involved, the Thunder have won them all? I am proposing that these two occurrences are related, in fact, I am going to posit that one causes the other! The…
Read MoreDonovan Mitchell 31 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2017)
Does Donovan Mitchell, in your opinion, have “The Eye of the Tiger”? The answer, of course, depends on what “The Eye of the Tiger” is supposed to represent. That’s a question I can’t help with. The only “Eye of the Tiger” that I know of is an 80’s arena rock classic, and I don’t think…
