https://youtu.be/UDbC_FaZoe0 The world-renowned DownToBuck YouTube channel is known far and wide as a haven for scrubs and role-players. Given that fact, one must question the wisdom of the decision to continue featuring Chris Boucher on such a channel. After all, Boucher has now had THREE thirty-point games this season, putting into doubt his status as…

Landry Shamet Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (4/18/2021)
https://youtu.be/GlJ3sbAEeik I have standard when it comes to applying nicknames to players. Good, creative nicknames should only be bestowed upon players who are deserving of them. If a player no longer deserves the nickname that I have given them, then I have the right to retract that nickname, leaving the player without a nickname. Which,…
Read MoreDevin Vassell 18 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2021)
https://youtu.be/iFC-fYxs1os I am a blank slate when it comes to the topic of Devin Vassell. I know he’s a rookie, and I know Spurs fans like him, but I don’t have any opinions of my own about how good he is or his play style. The Spurs are kinda low on my list of teams…
Read MoreGrayson Allen 26 Points Full Highlights (4/17/2021)
https://youtu.be/w9mdbKpZhUk It’s a good thing I didn’t watch much of this game between the Grizzlies and the Bucks, because I don’t think I would’ve been able to handle Grayson Allen dominating my team while frickin’ GRINNING the whole time. I’ve never really understood all the hate that Allen has been receiving throughout his basketball career,…

https://youtu.be/FahxmEAF0AQ The man stood at the base of the mountain and looked up. It was a long way to the top. His instinct of self-preservation told him to turn around, to walk away from that mountain and never look at it again. But there was a deeper compulsion within him to conquer that mountain, to…

https://youtu.be/txAkcs2dPFw There were probably ten or so individual scrub performances from last night that were statistically more impressive than this one, but I don’t want to make any of those videos. I’m semi-retired and I reside in a plane far above the endless wailful din of plebes demanding this video or that video. Their tears…
Read MoreMiles Bridges Career High 33 Points Full Highlights (4/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/GE7JCBEXbtw The Miles Bridges experience of last year was a weird one. He was scoring points, sometimes a lot, sometimes less than a lot, but in the end his pointage was way up from his rookie season. But his increased scoring seemed only to lead to increased losses for the Hornets. No one, anywhere, even…

Read MoreYuta Watanabe Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (4/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/t5_DCIui0u8 The title of the chapter* of my upcoming manga about Yuta Watanabe’s life where this career-high 21-point performance is depicted: “Dreams of Eagle and Lion Entwined”. Who cares if that doesn’t actually mean anything? I don’t. I’m still in the very early planning stages of this “Yuta Watanabe Life Story” project; I haven’t even…

https://youtu.be/b6Pe9gxjB2s The Raptors may suck now, but their fanbase is still just as happy as ever to endlessly bleat about how their team’s development program is SO GOOD and how many UNDISCOVERED GEMS they discovered by picking through the vast dirt pile that makes up the available pool of free agents, G-Leaguers, and potential draftees…
