I had an irrational bordering on rational attachment to Tim Frazier for the short amount of time he was on the Bucks. When he got cut after pre-season, I shed a single solitary manly tear. A tear of sadness. When he got signed by the Bucks after the Pelicans unwisely waived him, I shed a…

Elie Okobo 17 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
Elie Okobo must certainly represent the best chance for another French player to become a star in the NBA. They’ve already got a couple stars in Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier (that’s right, I’m calling him a star, and not just because he’s on my exclusion list), one washed-up semi-star (Nicolas Batum the scrotum puncher),…
Read MoreKevin Knox 19 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I wonder if this is what Knox needed to develop properly. Instead of the huge minutes and huge role he got in his rookie year, he’s now got a reduced role where he’s not asked to do more than he’s capable of. His numbers still don’t look great, and the jury’s still out as to…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 15 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
The likelihood of Lob City reforming in Los Angeles seems rather low, and if it were to reform at all, it would be on the Lakers (who have lob-catchers AD and McGee, as well as lob-throwers Rondo and LeBron) and not on the Clippers. That makes me sad in a way, but there’s also no…
Read MoreTy Jerome 15 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
With Ty Jerome’s fifteen-point performance which unequivocally deserved a highlight video, I have made some progress in making videos for every player drafted in the back half of the first round of the 2019 draft. However, there’s still a long way to go. Here’s a list of players that remain DownToBuck virgins: 15. Sekou Doumbouya…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 18 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I didn’t realize it because he’s been so far under the radar even for an enthusiast of scrubs like myself, but Shabazz Napier is shooting 24% from three this season on four attempts per game. Somewhere, LeBron James is looking at the stat sheet and shaking his head. He’s also laughing because the Heat drafted…
Read MoreKent Bazemore 19 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I think I may have been premature in undertaking the ritual that would transfer the “Bazed God” nickname from Kent Bazemore to Darius Bazley. To be fair to me, at the time that the transferral took place, Bazley had just had a good game while Bazemore was not doing much of anything. It seemed clear…
Read MoreDevonte’ Graham 22 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: In this game, Devonte’ Graham had the same amount of points as he had field goals attempted. He went 7-of-22 from the field to score his 22 points. This official disclaimer is necessary to provide the proper context for the video; if that context were not provided, unwitting YouTube users such as…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 24 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I am currently drafting a proposal to the Suns organization which details a proposed new version of timeout and halftime entertainment: Wave Papi’s Beauty Tips. Basically, the idea behind this new segment is to replace all the tired old activities that teams trot out during breaks in play: kiss cam, dance cam, half-court shots, trivia…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 18 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
The mere act of creating this video has leadened my soul with disappointment. Being forced to write a description for it burdens my psyche with anhedonic gloom. The Richaun Holmes – De’Aaron Fox connection was so hyped in my mind. The entirety of my last video description for Holmes was spent hyping up the possibilities…
