https://youtu.be/Dg5BkkjFMjw So far this season, I have not gotten a lot of mileage out of my “Maxey Taxi” nickname for Tyrese Maxey. However, do not let the volume of nickname usage imply that I no longer harbor enthusiasm for this nickname. In truth, my enthusiasm for this nickname has never been higher. It is, frankly,…

Cole Anthony Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (5/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/pCCHvgrpuBw I know for a fact that most players on bottom-feeding teams will realize when it’s the last game of the season and that the coach doesn’t care about the quality of their shot selection anymore. They’re not dumb, they know what the standings are. But I feel like most players don’t want fans to…
Read MoreJosh Hall 25 Points Full Highlights (5/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/6ODCXYe8ep0 The final statistical verdict on Josh Hall: 4.1 PPG on 30.3% shooting (10.8% from three) in 21 games. And if you take out Hall’s 11-of-21 performance from last night, you get 3.0 PPG on 24.3% shooting and 9.6% from three in 20 games. Those stats aren’t anything to write home about. If you did…

https://youtu.be/TpIQcszIxuY DTB’S OFFICIAL COMPREHENSIVE OFFSEASON WORKOUT PLAN FOR MOSES BROWN: -Find out where the Clippers’ Daniel Oturu lives and gangstalk him. That’s basically what Brown was doing this game anyway. By my count, Brown blocked this dude five separate times, probably without even knowing who he is. Oturu himself might not know who he is…
Read MoreAleksej Pokusevski Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (5/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/C_oaPY58Pew Tonight’s fun experiment for the Thunder: Point-Pokusevski! That is, having Alexsej Pokusevski, who is extremely tall/raw but has some limited ball-handling/distributing capabilities, play the “point guard” position for the Thunder. Or, at least, have him do the bulk of the ball-handling. Technically, I think he started at shooting guard. Remember, a big turning in…
Read MoreE’Twaun Moore 22 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (5/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/tcPFc1sSUWA E’Twaun Moore has been in the league for a decade now. Not the most distinguished decade of basketball ever basketballed by a player, but a decade. For E’Twaun Moore. 55th overall in the 2011 draft, not a highly-regarded prospect, and he just kept plugging along. Year after year, getting contracts, and eventually (with the…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 12 Points/Career High 17 Assists Full Highlights (5/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/hsUmdKp8FpU T.J. McConnell has proven to be such a prolific assist-getter this season that I feel compelled to come up with a new nickname for him that reflects his dominance in that particular facet of the game. And I think I’ve got it: T.J. McOnBall. Because if you put him on the ball, he’ll average…

https://youtu.be/AM2N5R-ADxU You think the NBA doesn’t have its own dirty little secrets it’s trying to hide? You think NBA statistics are sacrosanct, too important to ever be tampered with? You think Adam Silver is an overall force of good for the league? Think again, you blind, dumb fool. At 0:21 of this video, with three…
Read MoreOshae Brissett Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (5/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/DzDHX1meY6M If you should know one thing about the NBA highlights enigma known as DownToBuck, it’s that DownToBuck loves REVENGE GAMES. In my view, there is simply nothing more satisfying in life than watching a discarded cast-off from some team play that team later in their career and utterly destroy them. When I think about…
Read MoreTremont Waters Career High 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (5/16/2021)
https://youtu.be/jlJNOqILZdo I admit to getting confused between Carsen Edwards and Tremont Waters. Both of them are sub-six-foot guards who have been on the Celtics for two seasons now, and neither of them has done a whole lot in the NBA up to this point. But now that I have made a highlight video of Tremont…
