We are now OFFICIALLY past the All-Star break, which OFFICIALLY means that the teams that were kinda-sorta tanking can pull out all the stops and start unabashedly tanking with an extra-large dose of tankiness. The playoff picture in the East is still slightly murky, but the Hornets are so far out of it by this…

Thaddeus Young 22 Points Full Highlights (2/20/2020)
There may have been another Young who played tonight who may have scored 50 points, but who cares about some midget chucker on a horrible team? This is the REAL Young performance that people should be caring about. The Thaddeus kind of Young. The Mad Thadder kind of Young. The season-high acquiring kind of Young….
Read MoreCam Reddish 16 Points Full Highlights (2/20/2020)
By some people’s depraved definition of the term, Cam Reddish hit the “game-winner” in this game. That shot, which was the final field goal of the game (thus, in some minds, “game-winning”), occurred with thirty seconds to go, but try telling that to these peverted sickos. They’ll have you believe that Reddish hit a forty-point…
Read MorePresenting the DownToBuck Highlights Archivium
LINK TO THE DOWNTOBUCK HIGHLIGHTS ARCHIVIUM: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfwtpgn358Vq8ta_wOuB9Zg/ The hidden door creaks open on ancient hinges. Down a secret flight of steps the Curator descends, needing no light to navigate the familiar path. The sounds of crawling things scurrying away, disturbed from their quiet, is nearly louder than the Curator’s footsteps on the seldom-trodden stairs which…
Read MoreLandry Shamet 19 Points Full Highlights (2/13/2020)
It would have been neat if Landry Shamet’s clutch game-tying three near the end of the first overtime period had given the Clippers the strength to dominate the second OT to come away with the win. You’d think that the jubilation at being given another chance to win the game would have resulted in a…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 31 Points Full Highlights (2/13/2020)
31 points for Marcus Smart is a lot. If it wasn’t for his 37-point, 11-three outburst a month ago, this would be a career-high by far. But here’s the dirty little secret that the NBA doesn’t want you to know about this performance: It occurred in a double overtime game. As the kids say, that’s…
Read MoreZion Williamson 32 Points Full Highlights (2/13/2020)
I am currently facing a dilemma: do I, or do I not, allow Zion Williamson to continue appearing on my channel? This is a tough one. My stated rule has always been that rookies are guaranteed to be eligible for their entire rookie season UNLESS they are named an All-Star. That’s the only exception. If…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 22 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
I predict that this video will get fewer views (possible as few as zero) on account of Raptors fans being way too sad after having their precious 15-game winning streak snapped to watch this. The entire nation of Canada is in a state of mourning. Why relive painful memories of the past, as would happen…
Read MoreSterling Brown 14 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Sterling Brown is the odd man out of the Bucks’ rotation. When they acquired Marvin Williams (who, by the way, is NOT getting a highlight vid for a measly 9 points, I don’t care if it’s his debut), I was actually thinking that Brown would be the one getting waived instead of Dragan Bender. That’s…
Read MoreTony Snell 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Apparently, no one from the Bucks warned the Pistons that having Tony Snell and Thon Maker on the same team would cause no end of confusion from fans and commentators and arena announcers. When they were on the Bucks, even I had a hard time distinguishing them on the court, and it’s not like I…
