“How much do you love when guys get an opportunity, and they take advantage of it. Don’t you just love it, when that happens?” Yes, I do love it when a G-League player drags his frail bodily husk from the eternally benighted abysm of obscurity to show his stuff in the big leagues. Thanks for…

Darius Garland 21 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)
Okay, whoops, I just totally forgot that I actually had to write some words for Darius Garland instead of just blazing ahead and making another video. Could it be that I secretly resent having to compose all these paragraphs and wish that I could just make endless videos without being required to offer my inane…
Read MoreGary Payton II 10 Points/11 Rebounds/5 Assists/6 Steals Full Highlights (12/23/2019)
Tonight, Gary Payton II made his re-debut for the Wizards after a 3-game NBA stint last year and put together one of the sickest scrublines (that’s a portmanteau of “scrub” and “statline” if you didn’t get it) of the season. 10 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals, it’s all right there in the title…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 26 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)
The Magic are one of the worst offensive teams in the league. This despite their talent level, which is fairly high (they have three players who are “too good” for my channel, as well as Michael Carter-Williams, who is “too MCW” for my channel). There must be something wrong with the scheme they’re running or…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)
After getting 25 MPG per game in the month of November, Furkan “Korverkmaz” Korkmaz saw his minutes drop down to 15 per game in the month of December. We can blame this directly on Josh Richardson’s return from injury, but “blame” is only the right term to use if you’re exclusively a fan of Korkmaz…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 27 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/23/2019)
Joe “The Trevally From Happy Valley” Ingles, sadly, hasn’t been jingling at nearly the level we’ve come to expect this season. In years past, we could expect multiple jinglings each and every game. Now? We’re happy to just see him jingle a couple times per week at most. All is not lost, however. Ingles is…
Read MoreTroy Brown Career High 26 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2019)
OFFICIAL TROYS OF THE NBA POWER RANKINGS 1. Troy Brown Junior. Before this game, I wouldn’t have been able to decisively place TBJ in the number one spot, but now I am making the determination decisively and authoritatively: Troy Brown Jr. is the best Troy in the game right now. No other current Troy could…

OFFICIAL DTB STANCE ON CARONS: Carons, if present in the name of a foreign player, will NEVER be used in the video title of a DownToBuck video. Reason: this is America. America believes in two things: freedom, and that diacritical marks are communist. OFFICIAL DTB STANCE ON CARON: Caron Butler sucked for the Bucks, blatantly…
Read MorePaul Millsap 21 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
Paul Millsap came very close to achieving the dreaded “Tony Snell” statline in this game by putting up a neat line of 21/1/0/0/0. The only thing he did other than score was get a rebound. One rebound. Somewhere, Tony Snell is shaking his head in disappointment. It was an okay rebound. Troy Daniels missed a…
Read MoreSteven Adams 20 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2019)
I’ve been thinking about it (because what else would I be thinking about?), and I don’t see any reason why a Chris Paul/Steven Adams pick-and-roll wouldn’t be successful 100 percent of the time. Literally 100 percent of the time. Paul is such a good passer, and Adams is such a good finisher, it’s a play…
