Alright, your pal DTB is gonna get on his soapbox a little bit here. Hear me out. I wasn’t a big fan of the jersey patches when they first came out. I honestly thought I would hate them more than I did, but just because I’m not filled with complete hatred every time I look…

Marvin Bagley 25 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
You don’t hear much about rookie hazing these days. It used to be that we would get treated to videos of rookies getting their cars full of popcorn, or we would hear stories about rookies being forced to drop everything they’re doing in order to buy donuts for the team, but in today’s anti-bullying culture,…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 32 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
This is like the best timeline for DownToBuck. It’s good for two reasons: Reason one: Brandon Ingram is playing well, which means I get to watch an exciting young player go out there and get buckets while making LeBron James look like LeDefer Blames. I’ve been hard on Ingram in the past, and I still…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 20 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
The path forward for the Grizzlies has now been made clear. As a dense morning fog lifts to reveal a snow-covered, serenity-steeped landscape, as the nighttime clouds part to reveal a fully-shining moon previously only hinted at by beams of light poking through the cloudcover, as a heavy fall shower rinses away the dust and…
Read MoreCedi Osman 27 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
I feel like Cedi Osman is making a run at trying to be the number one option for the Cavaliers. I figure he might as well, since the Cavaliers aren’t going to be good no matter who their first option is, and he might never get a chance like this again in his career. He…
Read MoreTrae Young Career High 36 Points/8 Threes/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
The main problem, I think, with Trae Young is his name. “Trae”. “Young”. That’s just not gonna cut it, not with names like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nerlens Noel, and Isaiah Briscoe (among countless others) occupying the league. He needs an upgrade. Let’s start with his first name. First things first, he needs an S in there…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 28 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
Walking into the Miami-area record store, Kelly Olynyk’s eyes had to quickly adjust from the bright sunlight of the outdoors to the cool dimness of the shop. After sharing a nod with the proprietor, a young, but prematurely graying man who was behind the counter cataloging vinyl records, Kelly walked over to the vast shelves…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 25 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
“Dear Father, Today, I wore a hat on the way to the arena. It was a trendy piece of headwear in the “beanie” style – many young men in America wear such hats. Ostensibly, the hat was worn in order to showcase my fashion sense. I even paired it with some other clothes that were…
Read MoreCody Zeller Career High 28 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
Cody Zeller went 13 of 14 from the field in this game, so the first question on everyone’s minds will be “well, what did his missed shot look like?”. I’ll ask you to guess first before telling you. Did he attempt a poster dunk on DeMarcus Cousins and fail but not because he got it…
