The Heat didn’t have Goran Dragic available for this game. They also didn’t have Jimmy “You Need Me, You Can’t Win Without Me” Butler available for this game. So who was going to handle the ball for the Heat in this game? You’re watching a highlight video for Tyler Herro, so obviously the answer to…

Landry Shamet 19 Points Full Highlights (8/8/2020)
For most players, a jump in production between seasons one and two is expected. The NBA is hard for a rookie to adjust to, but an off-season of refined workout techniques and a year of NBA games under one’s belt means that the second year is supposed to be significantly easier than the first. And…
Read MoreGary Trent Jr. 22 Points Full Highlights (8/8/2020)
I’m not an expert on the psychological aspects of basketball since the things that are going through NBA player’s heads are so far removed from the things that are going through my head when I’m playing a game of basketball. I’m mostly thinking about how to get open for a midrange jumper (even though everybody…
Read MoreBrad Wanamaker 15 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)
As of right now, Brad Wanamaker is having the second-best free-throw shooting season of any currently active player, sitting at 93 percent, behind only Stephen Curry’s 93.4 percent back in the 2010-11 season. It goes without saying that he’s best free throw shooter this season, a full percentage and a half ahead of scrubs like…
Read MoreIsh Smith 18 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (8/7/2020)
Interestingly, every single Ish Smith assist in this video (all ten of them) was previously represented in either the Rui Hachimura, Thomas Bryant, or Troy Brown Jr. highlight videos I uploaded tonight. Meaning that if you watched all three of those videos, you’ve already seen much of this video (you DID watch all those videos,…
Read MoreAlec Burks 22 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)
Remember when Alec Burks was on the Warriors as their de facto #1 scoring option? That seems like so long ago. Like it happened in a different reality, almost. Things were so innocent back then. If you had combined the words “NBA” and “bubble” in a sentence, people would have thought you were talking about…
Read MoreLuguentz Dort 16 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)
I’ve had four (actually more like five) months of very limited basketball activity to contemplate the very important question: which NBA player has the raddest name? The answer is still Luguentz Dort, in case you were wondering. I came to that conclusion after about two minutes of thinking and the subsequent five additional months of…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 22 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)
This is not really a notable highlight video. Dillon Brooks goes out there and hits some swaggy shots (ten of them to be exact) and then the video ends. That’s it. Just another middling DownToBuck highlight video to throw into the pile of unwatched and forgotten videos. But if you listen deeper, there is something…
Read MoreTyler Johnson 14 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)
Tyler Johnson has not been very good lately. That’s about as charitable a sentence as I can come up with to describe his quality both in the bubble and in the games preceding the bubble when he was still on the Suns. The Nets only acquired him because they needed bodies to fill out their…
Read MoreTroy Brown Jr. 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (8/7/2020)
I’m salty right now because this video was made under FALSE PRETENSES. I thought that Troy Brown Jr. had five assists in this game, and in fact the box-score still says at this moment that he has five assists, but he really only had four. The first TBJ assist depicted in this video is clearly…
