This thirteen-point outing from Henry Ellenson is basically just as good as his previous game, where he also scored thirteen points (a game which will also be known to future generations of NBA fans as the “Ellenson Breakout Game”). Sure, the 13/5/0 statline looks objectively worse than the previous 13/9/5 statline, but that’s why I…

Kelly Olynyk 21 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2019)
Every time I make a video for Kelly “The Klynyk” Olynyk, I can’t seem to stop myself from dwelling on his hairstyle in the description. But I do have to say this: Kelly, dude, if you insist on keep your hair an awkward length like yours, it’s really smart to keep it tied up in…
Read MoreAllonzo Trier 22 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2019)
Allonzo Trier really likes to shoot shots (to the detriment of every other part of his game and probably to the detriment of his teammates too). This makes me wonder: was Trier’s development screwed up by Tim Hardaway Jr.’s presence on the team for the first two-thirds of the season, or was Trier going to…
Read MoreCollin Sexton 22 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2019)
I’m going to try to do something new for this video description: make a valid basketball point that’s not solely based on half-remembered player attributes mixed with some haterisms and some overreliance on statistical metrics that have since been discredited. Are you ready? Here it comes. You sure you ready? Stop reading right now if…
Read MoreCedi Osman 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2019)
The box-score says that Cedi Osman scored 21 points in this game, and watching this video while tallying up the buckets also results in a total of 21 points, but under DownToBuck’s Revised and Super-Accurate Basketball Scoring Method (DTBRASABSM), he only scored 15. Why, you ask? Because two of his three-pointers should not have gone…
Read MoreGary Clark 14 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2019)
When I saw that Gary Clark had 14 points in this game, my first thought was, “Great! Now I get to see what Gary Clark looks like!” Hold back your gasps of incredulity, Rockets fans. Yes, it is true that I don’t care enough about the Rockets to watch any of their games and thus…
Read MoreT.J. Leaf 18 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2019)
It’s taken almost 100 games, but T.J. Leaf has finally surpassed the point total of 17 that he had in his second career game. This wasn’t quite a case of MCW-itis (the dreaded condition where you peak in your first career game), but is peaking in your antedebut really that different than peaking in your…

“Dear Father, Today, again, I wore a beanie-style hat to the arena. Despite my having worn the same hat once before, it drew many comments from the arena staff, with whom I am very friendly. One woman, who helps to clean our locker rooms, told me unprompted that her husband is balding like me but…
