I went and looked up Kobi “Kobi Briant” Simmons’ G-League stats because I wanted to see how thoroughly he dominated his sub-par competition. A lot of these two-way contract guys are too unstoppable in the G-League to allow them to play there for more than a few games at a time, so I was pretty…

Cedi Osman 12 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2018)
Cedi Osman was rewarded for his relatively strong play in his string of nine starts by…getting benched for Rodney Hood against the Pistons. Here come some DTB truth nukes dropped right on your doorstep: if we’re being real, Hood is better than Osman. Hood has a way bigger chance to score twenty or even thirty…
Read MoreLarry Nance Jr. Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2018)
Am I supposed to be feeling some sort of deep connection with the spirit of Cavaliers past after seeing Larry Nance Jr. score a career high in the same arena where his dad was an All-Star? Because I’m not. I’m feeling like this was a great game for Nance, but that’s about it. I’ll leave…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/5/2018)
Once again Joe Ingles has a huge first half, then follows it up with a scant few bits and bobs in the second half to end up with a good statistical performance, but not a GREAT one. Does anyone here want to witness goodness? No! We want to witness greatness, and what Ingles has done…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 17 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (3/5/2018)
It is the secret dream of every NBA-bound Euro player to play for the Spurs. They have the reputation, they have the system, they have the pedigree, they have the Popovich, every other city looks like backwater hicksville compared to the shining basketball metropolis of San Antonio. But Davis Bertans is there now, and he’s…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 21 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2018)
Dillon “Chubby Tyus Jones From Canada” Brooks has a front-row seat to one of the greatest spectacles of the modern NBA: the magnificent tankjob of the Memphis Grizzlies. Heck, not even a front-row seat; he’s part of the act! What a privilege! Tonight, their performance reached a peak as they played something named Xavier Rathan-Mayes…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 21 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2018)
Lakers fans are constantly, without pause or interruption, hyping up Brandon Ingram. It’s constant. Ingram is good this year, yeah, but they just never shut up about how great he is. They want everyone to know that he’s not a bust anymore, that he’s actually really good, and that he’s gonna be the reason LeBron…
Read MoreDenzel Valentine 20 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2018)
The final score of this game, 105-89 in favor of the Celtics, does not accurately represent how much of a complete massacre it was. I watched a decent chunk of the first half, so it was no surprise when I saw their total as they reached intermission: 2 points. 2 points for the whole team…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 29 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2018)
New DownToBuck policy: no highlights of players who just got done totally owning the Bucks will be made until at least 24 hours have passed since the heinie-kicking. You won’t believe how mad I was getting while putting these clips together. How mad I was about the fact that Bojan Bogdanovic kept hitting threes and…
