February 8, 2020 – DownToBuck

Gary Trent 16 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2020)

The end of this game was controversial. I don’t want to think about it too much because I don’t want to feel sad. I won’t even describe the controversial moment in words just so no Blazers fans have to explicitly relive it while they read this description. Instead, I’ll focus on some happy things that…

Fred VanVleet 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/7/2020)

Looking back on it, with the benefit of the perfect and clear vision of hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have made this video. 7 assists is right in line with Fred VanVleet’s season average, and 20 points is only slightly higher than his PPG per game average of 18. DownToBuck doesn’t deal in mediocre performances. If…

Serge Ibaka 22 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2020)

Serge Ibaka, in his 11th season, is putting up more PPG per game than he ever has. It feels like he should be super old at this point, but he’s only 30, so the fact that he is scoring at a career-high rate is not wholly surprising. 30 is still considered by most to be…

Seth Curry 20 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2020)

Everyone should know by now that semi-interesting factoid that the only active player with a better career three-point percentage than Seth Curry is Stephen Curry (subject to change, I think they were literally tied at one point). That piece of information is going to be a staple of pub trivia nights for at least the…

Terence Davis 17 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2020)

Terence Davis being a total beast and absolutely 100 percent the next Kawhi Leonard is cool and all, but after that 31-point game he had a couple nights ago, I’m feeling that my hype for him has peaked. It’s all downhill from here, until the point where I resent his very existence and wish he…

Duncan Robinson 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/7/2020)

Looking at the game logs for Duncan Robinson is a real trip. A trip into the future where three-point shooters have gotten so good (possibly due to brain-computer interfaces) that it is a surprise when they miss. The last time Robinson had a game where he didn’t make a three was back in late November,…

Bam Adebayo 26 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (2/7/2020)

If you’re tired of the Nikola Jokic-esque performances from Bam Adebayo (I know I am), then boy do I have the video for you! Forget about the passing, forget about the comparisons to some flabby dude from Serbia, this is the kind of performance that makes the Dwight Howard comparisons from earlier in his career…

Brandon Goodwin 21 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2020)

I was under the impression that, with the acquisition of Jeff Teague, Brandon Goodwin would move firmly into the “third-string PG” role. That would only make sense, given that he only started getting primary backup PG minutes around the beginning of the year. It would also make sense, given that Teague has a pedigree as…

Bogdan Bogdanovic 23 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2020)

Well, it appears that Bogdan Bogdanovic has made it through the trade deadline unscathed. After 29 other teams called Vlade’s personal office line directly inquiring about his availability, it turned out that the Kings liked him better than whatever assets they were going to get in return for him. So the dream of the SSS…

Rui Hachimura 17 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2020)

Just so you guys know, a Rui Hachimura midrange-ilation is DEFINITELY happening after the season is over. I have a feeling that Hachimura’s reliance on those pull-up midrange jimbos is going to decrease in the future as he gets more comfortable with scoring on other ways, so I can’t afford to miss this opportunity. If…
