For the past few seasons, it’s been easy to forget that Wes Johnson is in the league at all. For being a complete draft bust whose only use has been to be a warm body on the court that can’t score and doesn’t look to score (his points per 36 being under ten reflects that),…

Trae Young 20 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (2/9/2019)
As the trade deadline approached, the Hawks were rumored to be holding a fire-sale on all their veteran players. Basically everybody on the roster who had been in the league more than three years, except for Vince Carter, was up for grabs. Then, the deadline came and went, and the Hawks kept their roster mostly…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 17 Points Clippers Debut Full Highlights (2/9/2019)
The Clippers were supposed to be tanking. All the moves they made at the trade deadline indicated that they were done competing for a playoff spot this season. I could see their reasoning; their Harris/Gallinari/Williams core, while decent, was not quite a playoff team in the West. They moved on from some players, got back…
Read MoreJonathan Isaac 17 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (2/9/2019)
Given that the Bucks just unexpectedly lost to the Magic by twenty points, anything negative that I say about Jonathan Isaac and his lack of production up to this point in his NBA career will be taken as the extremely salty ramblings of a butthurt Bucks fan. Since I am not even salty right now…

As anybody who subscribes to my channel would know, I am obsessed with the idea of “revenge games”, where a player goes off on a team that he used to play for. If we’re being honest, I often will imagine there to be REVENGE where there is no REVENGE to be found. In my eagerness…
Read MoreChasson Randle 20 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2019)
Chasson “Press X To Chasson” Randle was out of the league last season. Now, if I was an NBA player and I found myself out of the league quicker than I anticipated, I would probably just chill out on my coach and wait for calls from NBA teams wanting to sign me. I would also…
Read MoreJoakim Noah 19 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (2/9/2019)
I love the dead time between trades. Players have already left for their new teams, but the players received in return aren’t cleared to play yet. It’s a perfect opportunity for lesser-used bench players to step up and show what they’ve got, because, depending on the nature of the trade, there will be a lineup…
Read MoreMarvin Williams 27 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2019)
You know it’s a bad sign for the rest of the night when the first video that DownToBuck uploads, out of all the available possible performances, is Marvin Williams. Like, under normal circumstances, any W-Marv video should be able to wait until at least the fifth or sixth uploadment of the night. Sorry everybody, but…
