DownToBuck doesn’t go to too many live NBA games. It’s not convenient for me because it usually conflicts with my highlight-making schedule. However, I did happen to attend this game live in the flesh at the Bradley Center, and here are some of my observations: -Concession prices are way out of control. A chicken tenders…

Buddy Hield 21 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
Right now me and my 12-foot-fall purple 3D-printed statue of Buddy Hield are laying low for a while. There’s still a lot of news coverage about how they found a dead guy in our neighborhood, and I’m constantly afraid that they’re going to figure out that it was actually my sentient Buddy Hield statue who…
Read MoreDante Exum 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
If Dante Exum turns out never to be a star or even close to a star like most people expected when he was drafted, that will be a damn shame. For most people, the “shame” part will be that we missed out on what could have been a special player. For me, the “shame” part…
Read MoreQuinn Cook 17 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
Right now I’m feeling sad because Quinn Cook is hitting all these pull-up midrange jimbos and they’re very aesthetic in quality and he would be a perfect subject for a midrange-ilation, but he’s only been getting consistent minutes within which to hit these shots for, like, fifteen games. If he had been doing this all…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 22 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
Thaddeus Young is one of those good players on a playoff team who you never, ever hear anything about, ever. No articles, no tweets, no social media antics, maybe something in some rinky-dink local media outfit but who cares, and definitely no Zach Lowe. I could be wrong about that last one, because I lost…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 16 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
I need to write an app or something (or have someone else write it for me) that automatically subtracts points scored in the last however many minutes in blowout games from player point totals in the NBA boxscores. I need to do this because I am sick, and I am tired, of embarking on what…
Read MorePascal Siakam 15 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
Look at those facial wrinkles. Pascal Siakam has to be at least 35, if not 40, years old. At least Thon Maker invested early in anti-aging wrinkle-removing cream to be able to keep up his charade. Siakam looks like he could be my grandfather except he’s really black. And I’m supposed to believe he’s 23?…
Read MoreTrey Burke 19 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
The Knicks did not take very long to figure out that Emmanuel Mudiay is not a good basketball player. That’s not putting it harshly enough, but I’m feeling nice tonight. It was a good idea to take a flyer on him, see if a change of scenery would mean a change in quality, but it…
Read MoreTaurean Prince 28 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
Taurean Prince is mimicking my expression when I saw that he somehow scored a large amount of points, again, even thought last year he didn’t show anything that indicated that such large amounts of points were in his future. Kind of a happy look, but also sort of like “oh MAN more Taurean Prince highlights…
Read MoreGerald Green 25 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
I don’t feel as bad about the Bucks giving up on Gerald Green way too quickly now that he’s come back down to earth and isn’t scoring 20 points per game anymore. It was still a bad decision, but hey, we have Brandon Jennings now, who is just as swaggy but has the added bonus…
