DTB is very well attuned to the needs and desires of the highlights-viewing public. How could I not be? I have been at the forefront of NBA highlights on YouTube for the better part of a decade. My finger is on the pulse of the fans even when my own pulse has been dangerously slowed…

Terrence Ross 25 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
There are rumors that the Orlando Magic are looking to trade Terrence Ross. Great! My favorite time of the NBA year after 10-day-contract time, hard trade-deadline time, opening-night time, and closing-night time (regular season), is trade-rumors time. I love a good trade rumor or 10 or 100. There are so many permutations to analyze, so…
Read MoreJustise Winslow 26 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2019)
Justise Winslow scored his final point with 8:11 left in the third quarter. Heading into the second half, I was hopeful that I would see him break the career-high of 28 he set a month ago, and when he started the half hitting a bunch more buckets, I was sure that the record would fall….
Read MoreDerrick Rose 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
It’s likely that I’ve advanced this opinion before, but I don’t care: the Minnesota Timberwolves need to wear these black/purple jerseys more often. They’re, as the kids say these days, “dank”. They make everybody look good in a dark retro synthwave type of way. The bright green jerseys also need to be worn more often…
Read MoreMike Muscala 16 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
Mike “Muscy Stench” Muscala was rudely jammed into the starting lineup in the absence of Joel Embiid, who was out with a sore ankle. I don’t want to freak anyone out here, but the Achilles is kind of near the ankle, and the fact that the whole area was sore is very concerning to me….
Read MoreMarcus Derrickson 10 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
This is it. This right here. Forget about all the other crappy vids I’ve made for this night of games, this is the one that you should watch. This is the essence of DownToBuck. The point is to highlight the un-highlighted, to honor scrubdom. Marcus Derrickson isn’t a good NBA player (but probably a great…
Read MoreJordan Bell 13 Points/4 Jumpers Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
The Bulls received a lot of criticism for trading the second-round pick that became Jordan Bell for straight-up cash. Remember when the Nets (of New Jersey) traded Kyle Korver for a copy machine? This is like that, except with the 3.5 million that the Bulls got, they could buy many, many thousands of copy machines….
Read MoreRoyce O’Neale 17 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
Royce “John Salmons 2.0” O’Neale had two games of this caliber in the playoffs last year. All the way back in early May, if you can remember back that far. He was even the leading scorer for the Jazz in one of them (the Jazz did not win that game against the Rockets). Those were…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 20 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
I hold no particular animus towards Trevor Ariza for breaking out of his three-game, 0-for-15 from three shooting slump against the Bucks. If I had actually been watching this game, maybe things would be different, but I wasn’t. And even I was, in the end, the fault lies with the Bucks for leaving him wide…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
It must be kind of cruddy to be the best midrange shooter in a league where the majority of fans think midrange shots are stupid and dumb and inefficient. Here’s the deal, stats nerds who haven’t even seen, much less touched, an unclothed female heinie: those shots are only inefficient if it’s not T.J. McConnell…
