Derrick White 20 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)

One thing that struck me while watching this game was that Derrick White was being aggressive with his three-pointers. He wasn’t just standing around waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise before launching from deep. He was making his own opportunities by taking the ball and shooting in whoever’s face was there. This will not…

Jaren Jackson Jr. 22 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)

Jaren Jackson had two rebounds in this game. Two. That’s it. In 31 minutes. That’s not a lot of rebounds. That’s a Brook Lopez amount of rebounds. He also scored a Brook Lopez amount of points, but that’s beside the point right now. Remember: this is the NBA. If you want rebounds, rebounds can be…

Zion Williamson 23 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (8/3/2020)

Zion Williamson only had three games this season (out of 21 appearances) where he shot below 50% from the field. I’m just so used to high-efficiency outings from him that I get irrationally upset when he has a relatively poor shooting game. That’s why I’m irrationally upset right now. Zion went 9-of-21 from the field…

Grayson Allen 17 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)

Grayson Allen looks like the kind of dude who would write a manifesto. Am I the only one seeing this? He’s got “manifesto-writer” written all over his face and probably the rest of his body too. You think about dudes who have written manifestos in the past, and then you think about Grayson Allen, and…

Keldon Johnson 15 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)

Repeat after me: KELDON JOHNSON GOOD. BRYN FORBES BAD. KELDON JOHNSON GOOD. BRYN FORBES BAD. KELDON JOHNSON GOOD. BRYN FORBES BAD. If you were able to successfully repeat the words that are currently on your screen, good job! You’re well on your way to being an authentic Spurs fan (complete with authentic ironic appreciation for…

Rudy Gay 24 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)

I can just hear the imagined utterances of the haters now: “DownToBuck didn’t make a Rudy Gay nineteen point highlight video because DownToBuck hates the Spurs.” “Rudy Gay scoring nineteen points is eminently worthy of a highlight video and anybody who thinks otherwise is being an ignoramus.” “My life revolves around consuming media featuring the…

Monte Morris 17 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)

Monte Morris scored 0 points in the first half of this game. Then he scored seventeen points in the second half, each one of them necessary to bring the game to overtime, where the Nuggets eventually took the victory. It’s clear that Monte Morris was embarrassed and ashamed after his dismal first half, where he…

Michael Porter Jr. Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)

Michael Porter Jr. rolled over groggily, slowly awakening from what must have been a very deep sleep. However, when his nose smashed against the unyieldingly hard surface below him, his return to full consciousness was hastened substantially. Opening his eyes, he found himself staring at a floor made out of pure marble. Thinking that his…

Aaron Holiday 17 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)

The quandary I faced while trying to determine whether or not I should make this highlight video perfectly demonstrates why I need to implement some kind of system where I use basic box-score stats modified by a predefined “scrub index” to generate a “video suitability score”. I literally spent an hour mulling this one over….

Fred VanVleet Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)

Check out these choice quotes from my latest Terrence Ross highlight video: “My absolute burning hatred for free throws.” “…My highlight videos are repeatedly getting ruined by players and their stupid tendency to get fouled and shoot free throws.” “…Some way to play the game of basketball without free-throws.” And yet, here I am again,…
