I think Jerami Grant needs to be given more credit for steadily developing from a lanky, raw player on the 76ers, who only had athleticism and nothing else, to a still lanky, still athletic wing player with a well-rounded scoring game. I feel like I’ve given him credit for this before but I’m too lazy…

Fred VanVleet 21 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
With every good game that Fred VanVleet adds to his already impressive resume, the closer he gets to securing “the bag”. “The bag” is a mythical concept which represents large amounts of money, way more than would fit into a single bag even if it was all in hundred dollar bills. “The bag” is what…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 21 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
The Grizzlies have now lost all four of their bubble games, and their chances of making the playoffs get slimmer with each disappointing defeat. It’s clearly time for a drastic change in strategy. Having Dillon Brooks chuck isn’t the strategy that is going to earn them a postseason berth. Since this is a Jonas Valanciunas…
Read MoreDerrick White 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Derrick White is older than Giannis. At 26 years old, he’s also five years older than Lonnie Walker and three years older that Dejounte Murray, even though he’s grouped with those guys as the “young core” of the Spurs. I don’t know what my point is here. I guess it’s just that…
Read MoreDrew Eubanks 12 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
Since I, DownToBuck, am a world-renowned expert in linguistics and etymologies (according to the many plaques and little glass obelisks I have on my desk awarded by various professional societies), I have decided to undertake an etymological breakdown of Drew Eubanks’ name. In doing so I hope to uncover facets of his personality/style of play…
Read MoreRudy Gay 24 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
Rudy Gay is using this Bonus Bubble Basketball session to demonstrate to the world (and, honestly, the whole universe [assuming they can decode our television signals (“they” being alien life forms)]) that he’s not just a role-player at this stage in his career. He’s a HIGH-END ROLE-PLAYER. That’s the official designation you get when you’re…
Read MoreKeldon Johnson 20 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
KELDON JOHNSON GOOD. BRYN FORBES BAD. KELDON JOHNSON GOOD. BRYN FORBES BAD. KELDON JOHNSON GOOD. BRYN FORBES BAD. Come on people, say it with me! If you want to, you can even stomp your feet like you’re saying it while marching. It’s way more martial and terrifying that way. KELDON JOHNSON GOOD. BRYN FORBES BAD….
Read MoreJa Morant 20 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
The ‘Zlies are collapsing. Not collapsing hard enough to cost Ja Morant the ROTY of the Year award (which is the only thing ‘Zlies fans should be caring about right now), no collapse is big enough for that to happen, but collapsing in such a way that their chances at the playoffs are now in…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 30 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
DTB’S FUN FACT OF THE DAY: Michael Porter Jr. just scored thirty points in two consecutive games. The last player to achieve that feat was the Bucks’ Carlos Delfino in the 2011-12 season. Believe it or don’t. Right now I’m hoping that all the Nuggets that are currently injured decide to stay injured for just…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 23 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)
At this point, the only reason I make Dillon Brooks videos anymore is because I KNOW that the thumbnails are going to be good. The video itself isn’t going to be good, and the video description isn’t going to be good, but the thumbnail image? Guaranteed goodness. Remember, all three of those things are equal…
