Myles Turner 21 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

Fans of Myles Turner are despairing this season because he’s shooting the worst he’s ever shot from the field in his career (45.6%) while also scoring the lowest PPG per game since his rookie season (11.9). And fans of the Pacers are despairing because he decided to start doing this in the first year of…

Garrett Temple 19 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

Can anybody give me a good reason why I would even try to write something insightful for this video description when I know for a fact (a god-damn FACT) that this video will never even get close to 500 views? One good reason at all? (Maintaining the universally excellent quality of my video descriptions is…

Chris Chiozza 10 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

I think I figured out why the Nets commentary crew keeps bringing up cheese and cheese-related puns during the broadcast. It’s because Chris Chiozza’s name, if you mangle the pronunciation of it, sort of sounds like it contains the word “cheese”. And that’s it. If they’re actually gonna keep doing this, which I hope they…

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (8/4/2020)

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot just keeps setting new career highs. First he scored 24 five days ago, which tied a career high (so I lied about him “setting” a career high, since “setting” is not the same as “tieing”). Now he’s scored 26, which outright sets a career high in an unambiguous way. What’s next? 28? 30?…

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…
