Dion Waiters 14 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)

Shhh. Let me enjoy this moment. Let me enjoy the tortured shrieks of Lakers fans who are watching their championship aspirations crumble around them like so much worthless dust. My eyes are closed now. The only sense I am currently using is my sense of hearing. Can you hear them too? Can you hear the…

Monte Morris 19 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)

Somehow, Monte “Splash Monte” Morris is the best Morris in the NBA bubble right now. Marcus Morris: 12.5 PPG per game in the Bubb Markieff Morris: 5.5 PPG per game in the Bubb (+1 DNP) Monte Morris: 16.3 PPG per game in the Bubb Casual fans would instantly tell you that the Morris twins on…

P.J. Dozier 12 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (8/5/2020)

I’m digging P.J. Dozier here. Of course this is a highlight video where he plays well so I’m going to be biased, but he’s doing some things that I like. Jamal Murray can take his sweet time coming back from injury. They don’t even need him chucking the air out of the ball when they’ve…

Jerami Grant 22 Points Full Highlights (8/5/2020)

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…

Jonas 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…

Derrick 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…

Drew 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…

Rudy 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…

Keldon 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….
