How soon is too soon to talk about the MIP Improved Player race and Devonte’ Graham’s place in it? Because if it’s too soon right now, I’ll just stop the description right here. If this is a conversation that people don’t want to have, that’s fine. I respect that. And I hope you, likewise, will…

Patty Mills 20 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2019)
I hope Australians are familiar with the concept of a “patty melt”, one of the most important food items that America has contributed to the global culinary arts. If you are not familiar, here’s a quick rundown: it’s like a hamburger except instead of a bun you have bread (could be rye, could be sourdough,…
Read MoreWill Barton 20 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
I feel bad for Nuggets fans, but not because of any basketball-related reason. Well, it’s kind of basketball-related, but it’s more DownToBuck-related. I feel bad for them because this is only the third Nuggets video I’ve made this season. Nuggets fans became accustomed to spending a lot of time on my channel thanks to the…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 19 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
If present trends continue, Langston Galloway will end the season with a FG% above 40%. That will be the first time in his career that he’s shot above 40% for an entire season. By that measure, he’s having a career year right now and nobody cares. There’s still a lot of games left to go,…
Read MoreNorman Powell 18 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
Since we know for a fact that Norman Powell plays best when he’s facing off against the Bucks, the team that traded him for the trash bag full of used diapers that was Greivis Vasquez, I have a bold new plan to ensure that Powell can play to his maximum potential: After every game, trade…
Read MoreKevin Huerter 17 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
It surprises me that, during the full minute-plus runtime of this video, the word “confidence” (or its derivatives, like “confident” or “confidently”) was not uttered even one time. I think. I don’t listen to the commentary as closely as I should when I make these things, so it’s possible that somebody uttered it while I…
Read MoreTristan Thompson 21 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
I have had to make way too many Tristan Thompson highlight videos to start the season. This is the fourth one and we’re only seven games into the season; for comparison, I made just five of them all of last season (including playoffs [LOL (lots of laughs [the Cavaliers didn’t make the playoffs that’s why…
Read MoreThomas Bryant 23 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
Thomas Bryant has regressed slightly from last year to this year when it comes to his three-point shooting. After going 0/3 from the threezone last night in an otherwise efficient scoring night, Bryant is shooting below 30% from three. That’s still better than so-called stretch five Brook Lopez is shooting currently (god damn it god…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 17 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
I’m thinking really hard, absolutely stretching my brain to its limits, I even put my head in my absurdly overclocked microwave-within-a-microwave and set the timer to 10 minutes to try and help my recall ability, but I can’t think of a time that T.J. McConnell took over a game with his scoring. I’ve seen a…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 34 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019)
This is the old Spencer Dinwiddie. Last year’s version of Dinwiddie, the year before that’s version of Dinwiddie. The Dinwiddie who took and made tons of Curry-range threes, the Dinwiddie who took over games. The Dinwiddie who teamed up with D’Angelo Russell to form an unorthodox but fearsome PG duo. I thought the old Dinwiddie…
