Are we far enough into Devonte’ “Collateral Grahammage” Graham’s career that we can call this 26-point, 10-assist outing a “vintage” Graham performance? Graham’s been slumping after his extremely hot first month or two of the season, which seems like a very long time ago to me. Now that I think about it, things that happened…

Jeremy Lamb 26 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
I get the feeling that not everybody shares my opinion that Jeremy Lamb has the scoring skills necessary to be the number one option, or at least, the 1.5th option, on a mid-seeded playoff team. And even if there are people out there who agree with me on that point, they’re not very vocal about…
Read MoreTerence Davis 20 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Terence Davis should be a reminder to all GM’s in the league (minus Masai Ujiri, who already knows this) that NBA-caliber talent exists outside of the draft and outside the top levels of foreign leagues. Always do your due diligence on these dudes and you might uncover a hidden gem as the Raptors did with…
Read MoreMatt Thomas 15 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Before this game, Matt Thomas had not made a layup in his NBA career. That sounds so outrageous that you almost can’t believe it, but, unless basketball-reference is lying to me about the nature of his shots this season, you’d better start believing soon, because I’m telling the god-damn truth. That fact becomes slightly less…
Read MoreMalik Beasley 23 Points/7 Threes Timberwolves Debut Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
This performance for Malik Beasley in his first game donning the Timberwolves’ highlighter green and navy blue should come as no surprise for the true, devoted Malik Beasley acolytes out there. Beasley was doing things like this basically ALL of a last season for the Nuggets. Then their roster changed, they had too many good…
Read MoreJordan McLaughlin Career High 24 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
After the Clippers got their rear rends decisively handed to them by Jordan McLaughlin, Malik Beasley, and the rest of the Timberwolves’ hastily-assembled squad of scrublords, how do you think their star players are reacting? Kawhi Leonard: Currently conferring with his uncle on how to fake another injury to force another trade. Not reporting to…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 15 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
The Kings’ season is probably over even after they won this game against the “new and improved superteam” (LOL) of the Miami Heat (Andre Iguodala didn’t even play because he was afraid of getting exposed by Serbs), so the only goal left this season is to have as much fun as possible. That’s what the…
Read MoreGary 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…
Read MoreFred 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…
Read MoreSerge 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…
