It’s hard not to think about what could’ve been with that OKC team that made the Finals. I usually do a pretty good job of keeping intrusive thoughts of potential dynasties from my mindscape, but seeing all the assorted players from that team be part of the best teams currently in the NBA is making…

Delon Wright 18 Points Full Highlights (4/14/2018)
The playoffs are here! And for Toronto fans, that means one thing: DeMar DeRozan turning into DePressed DeFrozen and Kyle Lowry turning into Pyle OfPoop and needing their teammates to bail them out. I would use the “Trash Brothers” nickname for them, but it is currently being appropriated by C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard. They…
Read MoreDTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Month (March/April 2018 Dunkilation)
Greg was aware that all eyes (including Emma’s) were on him. There was nothing to do except run at the basket, jump as high as he could, and pray for the best. So that’s what he did. The attempt could have gone worse. The clandestine leg exercises Greg had been doing at home had apparently…

In traditional DownToBuck fashion, I’ve saved the worst for last. The absolute worst. You are looking at, right now, the most awful highlight video I’ve made this season. You can look at all 2184 of my other videos (well most of them got deleted but just trust me on this), and you won’t find one…

If Jerry Reynolds retiring means that we have to hear Doug Christie with regularity on Kings broadcasts, that’s not going to be okay. I get the Reynolds is getting up there in years, but that doesn’t mean he has to stop now. Just when the Kings are on the cusp of a breakthrough? He had…
Read MoreJodie Meeks 18 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Okay, so, what I’m gathering is that the Wizards are unmitigated total utter sewer trash dumpster fire garbage. I am basing this finding on the last few games the ‘Zards have played. They did beat Boston, but that doesn’t count. They’ve won 4 of their last 12 heading into the ‘offs and are now the…

The Magic really messed up their lottery chances by winning this game. I don’t blame them too much, because apparently the Wizards are so garbo now that games against them are almost guaranteed victories, but this is going to hurt come draft time. The last thing they need right now is another marginal pick to…
Read MoreIsaiah Hicks 15 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
This is video 31 of my end-of-regular-season highlights extravaganza, but it really should’ve been like 15th or so. I’m sorry. It slipped through the cracks, but luckily I caught it before I wrapped things up, so here we are. The most points Isaiah Hicks has ever scored in the NBA, an achievement colloquially known as…
Read MoreTrey Burke 19 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
I figure if I just keep doing highlights, it’s like the regular season is still going on, that all these role-players and scrubs and sub-scrubs (looking at you, Furkan Korkmaz) still have more chances to show their worth in the NBA. I don’t want to stop. I’m not going to stop. This is video number…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 12 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
Which team is most likely to be total garbage next season? It’s too early to tell, and I bet all 30 of them think they can, with the right moves, make the playoffs a year from now, but we need to figure it out. Because that is the team that Boban Marjanovic needs to get…
