If you’re one of those curmudgeonly old folks who thinks that the NBA is going in a depraved and possibly perverted direction with all the three-point bombing going on, then this video might be the video for you. And if you’re even older and even curmudgeonlier than that, and you think that basketball was best…

Steven Adams 20 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
Steven Adams is the last real remnant (Andre Roberson is technically still around, but I’m considering him deceased until he proves otherwise) of the glorious “big three” days of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Their big three of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Hasheem Thabeet saw a lot of playoff success, but no championships. If you…
Read MoreAlex Len 18 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
If Alex Len doesn’t watch out, he’s going to find his title of “Best Ukrainian in the NBA” taken away from him by Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk. He’s still got the lead by a fair amount, but Mykhailiuk (who has a way more Ukrainian-sounding name, by the way) is trending decidedly upward, while Len is trending in…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
Repeat after me: DeAndre Jordan BAD, Jarrett Allen GOOD. DeAndre Jordan BAD, Jarrett Allen Good. Louder! DeAndre Jordan BAD, Jarrett Allen GOOD. DEANDRE JORDAN BAD, JARRETT ALLEN GOOD!!! This chanting is more for the casual NBA fan than a more informed Nets fan (who has probably already come to this conclusion for themself). The casual…
Read MoreTaurean Prince 23 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
Here’s something you can think about: who was the main player that the Nets traded in order to acquire Taurean Prince? I’ll let you stew over that one for a bit. Personally, I couldn’t figure it out. I knew he got traded, and it had to be for some guy making a fair amount of…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 20 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
Read the following sentences and gauge your personal reaction to them: “Langston Galloway is having a career year.” “Langston Galloway is worth his contract for the first time since the Pelicans hella overpaid him.” “The Langston Galloway/Luke Kennard tandem is sneaky lowkey one of the best shooting guard rotations in the league.” “Langston Galloway not…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 22 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
The vision, however faint, of Terrence Ross ever winning a 6MOTY of the Year award is vanishing before my eyes like a tempting desert oasis that turns out to be nothing but a mirage. His chance to win it was last season. Just a few more PPG’s and he would have been right there in…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 17 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
I consider this video to be the initial trial run of my new much-anticipated subscription program, DownToBuck+ (read as “DownToBuck Plus”). DownToBuck+ provides all the same great scrublights as regular DownToBuck, but with more (hence the plus). What that means for the average viewer is that videos which would normally show only made field goals…
Read MoreTerry Rozier 25 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
You know, for being a Tank Commander handpicked by Michael Jordan himself to command the Hornets’ tank all the way to the promised land of ping-pong balls and folded-corner envelopes known as the NBA draft, Terry Rozier has been okay this season. After not shooting above 40% from the field during any of his seasons…
Read MoreRobert Covington 22 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
Robert “Processed Cheese” Covington is secretly the glue guy that keeps the Timberwolves functioning. At least, he seems like he would be that guy. I don’t know enough about the intricacies of the Timberwolves roster to say that for sure. But he’s the guy who provides defense (DownToBuck doesn’t care about defense), steady shooting (not…
