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…

Landry 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…
Read MoreJabari Parker 20 Points/6 Dunks/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/9/2019)
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…
Read MoreNaz Reid 14 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2019)
Naz Reid is under contract for three years after this, getting paid around 6 million in total. That seems like an awful long kind of contract for a player like Reid, but only this year is guaranteed, which basically means that if he doesn’t pan out like they want, they can cut him at any…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz 15 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (2/8/2019)
Markelle Fultz’s career high in made three-pointers has now OFFICIALLY been raised from two to three. That seems like an absurdly low number for a point guard in the modern era of the NBA. In fact, it occurred to me that a career high of three 3PM might be the lowest of any active point…
Read MoreMiles Bridges 20 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2019)
With all these bad teams shuffling players around like so many deck chairs on the Titanic, the Hornets… did nothing. Well, almost nothing. They bought out Marvin Williams so he could sign with the Bucks (note: I would literally rather have Dragan Bender [who was waived to make space] than Williams, I don’t care how…
