I would like to use this description box to issue an apology to Tristan Thompson and all fans of Tristan Thompson (I’m not sure you exist, but I’m not taking any chances here). In the two games prior to this, Thompson scored 18 and 16 points respectively, but the DownToBuck YouTube channel was strangely, and maybe even auspiciously, silent on the matter. This was because I lost track of Thompson during my extended highlight-making sessions, only to remember him after I had shut down my operation for the day. His mediocre performances were washed away in a sea of similarly mediocre performances performed by scrubs who I hold closer to my heart.
Getting a chance to publicly issue this apology is the only reason I made this video, because Thompson as a scorer is not very much fun to watch. Sometimes he dunks but even his dunks are lame. Otherwise, he’s a layup (“lame-up”) machine. In fact, I can’t even promise that I will continue to make Thompson videos unless he ups his scoring output. That’s actually another reason I made this video: so I could clear the air regarding Thompson and his expected point totals. Sixteen is definitely in the “iffy” category. Eighteen is better, but still not a guarantee. If Thompson wants to ensure that a video gets made, he has to score at least twenty, and he can’t hit too many free throws because those, like everything else he does, are lame too.
