DownToBuck doesn’t normally attend NBA games live. It is much more comfortable for me to watch at home while eating my own snacks and petting my own kitty. With that said, I attended this Bucks/Nets game live and in the flesh. The Bucks didn’t win, but that’s not even a big deal to me. The…

Jonathan Isaac 18 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2019)
Jonathan Isaac has been tormenting me all season with games where he scores decently well, but doesn’t really break out and have a standout scoring performance. I think I’ve harped on this point before (because I chronically run out of description material by the end of the season), but he only has one twenty-point game…
Read MoreTorrey Craig 18 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2019)
In order to get Torrey Craig more of the attention that he deserves, I have started a new viral hashtag that will raise his profile and ultimately result in larger contracts for him as he continues his career in the NBA: #TorreyCraigIsWelsh It doesn’t matter whether Torrey Craig is actually of Welsh ancestry or not….
Read MorePaul Millsap 25 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2019)
It is very hard for me to maintain my position that Paul Millsap is ruining the Nuggets when they own the second seed in the West. It’s also hard for me to maintain that position when Millsap’s on-off rating is a stout +8.3. The fact that he dominated everybody the Blazers threw at him in…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 25 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2019)
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope knows what’s up. He’s not a dummy. He knows that if he wants to get an unreasonably large payday this off-season, he needs to play well enough to trick GM’s into thinking that he’s some kind of go-to scoring shooting guard. That’s why, when you look at his monthly shooting splits, you see…
Read MoreDario Saric 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/5/2019)
The people of Croatia should be happy today. Not only did Dario “Diarrheo” Saric have one of his best games as a Timberwolf, but Mario Hezonja recorded a triple-double as the Knicks’ starting point guard. I’m not sure if there’s usually a lot to be happy about in Croatia, but these two things happening simultaneously…
Read MoreGorgui Dieng 19 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2019)
“Dear Diary, The winter season in Minnesota is filled with many trials. The cold is harsh, but can be warded off with adequate layers of clothing. The lack of sunlight is depressing, but the bright lights of the arena are helpful. The Christmastime gift-giving season is tiresome, but fulfilling in its own way. However, this…
Read MoreIan Clark 24 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2019)
If you ignore his 36-point performance a few years ago with the Warriors, and you really should ignore it, because it was one of those games where both teams rested all their good players and the ESPN commentators were really salty and they showed this kid who came from a million miles away just to…
Read MoreCourtney Lee 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/5/2019)
Courtney Lee went from having the second-best scoring season of his career, 12 points per game (that’s a lot, did anyone realize he was scoring that much??????), to having his worst, a mere 4 points per game. Part of the reason for this sharp decline is that the Knicks quickly figured out that they weren’t…
Read MoreDirk Nowitzki 12 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (4/5/2019)
Unlike Dwyane Wade, I can kinda see why Dirk Nowitzki would maybe be sorta contemplating retiring. He’s not looking very spry out there, and that’s putting it generously. He can kind of do stuff on offense still, because the thing with moving on offense is that you know which direction you’re going so you can…
