Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

After a string of low-scoring games before this one, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has officially dropped below 10 PPG on the season. Ten points per game is an arbitrary measure, sure, but it’s sort of a quick and handy reference to distinguish between “guys who will definitely be good in the league” and “guys who could be…

Wayne Selden 15 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

Raise your hand if you, as neither a fan of the Bulls or the Grizzlies, realized that Wayne Selden had been traded from Memphis to Chicago. I’m expecting a lot of hands up here. I haven’t fully succeeded in purging my channel of casuals, but I have made great progress. I don’t want anyone watching…

Matthew Dellavedova 16 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

Reports that Anthony Davis wants to be traded have surfaced, just an hour ago, from everyone’s favorite scooper, Wojnarooski. My first thought about the situation wasn’t, as you might expect, “how can the Bucks get him?”, but was instead “how can we get Matthew Dellavedova reunited with LeBron James?”. I think I’ve figured it out….

Alec Burks 18 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

I feel sorta bad about putting the “1 Game-Winner” in the title of this video. Burks did hit the shot to take the lead by one point with 17 seconds left, so I’m not totally lying, but that’s kind of a long time for some other stuff in the game to happen. Like, the Bulls…

Jerryd Bayless 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

Let us examine Timberwolves commentator Jim Peterson’s comment that Jerryd “Jerry Dee” Bayless “was an excellent player with the Milwaukee Bucks”. Honestly, I don’t disagree with the second part of the sentence. He definitely was a player with the Milwaukee Bucks. I remember clearly many specific instances of him basketballing while in a Bucks jersey,…

Mikal Bridges 16 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

We’re still waiting on the elusive Mikal Bridges 20-burger. I thought he had a good shot at it after scoring 16 in the first three quarters (for reference, it would take James Harden 3 minutes to score that many points, and it would take Ryan Anderson 2 months). Whenever I start thinking thoughts like that,…

Wayne Ellington 19 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

The last time that Wayne Ellington played more than ten minutes in a game was December 12th. Over a month and a half ago. In the four games before this one, he was a healthy DNP. I don’t normally pretend to think that I know more than NBA coaches, since they’re the ones that watch…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 24 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

Even when Kentavious Caldwell-Pope AKA Kentaviass Caldbrick-Poop has a good game, which is less and less often these days, I feel like Lakers fans couldn’t care less. I fully believe he is the player on the team that they are least hyped for. Every other player gives you a reason to be excited for them….

Ivica Zubac 24 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

In tonight’s much-vaunted battle of the Croatian centers, two third-year players battled it out for the title of Croat GOAT: Ivica Zubac of the Lakers and Dragan Bender of the Suns. Using mostly facts with a heavy dose of pure truth, I will, in this video description, attempt to figure out which had the better…

Brook Lopez 19 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

Let me tell you something: I have already begun preliminary work on this year’s Brook Lopez Three-ilation (That’s “three compilation” for those unfamiliar with the parlance of DownToBuck), and I’m telling you right now, this is going to be the sickest three-ilation that anybody’s ever seen. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, is as consistently outrageous…
