From a theoretical mathematics perspective (a branch of scholarship which I am intimately familiar with), how much of Kelly Oubre’s 27-point performance was negated by the fact that he committed an offensive foul with fifteen seconds left and the Suns down by three? To set the stage a bit more, Oubre had the ball behind…

Dillon Brooks 20 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
As Dillon Brooks gets more and more accustomed to being one of the primary scoring options for the ‘Zlies, a mantle which he has worn all season but one that he has just recently grown fully into, I’m starting to believe that he can be a better scorer than MarShon Brooks. Regular viewers of my…
Read MoreJa Morant 23 Points/8 Assists/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
Ja Morant entered the fourth quarter of this game with just nine points and four assists. I was sitting pretty, thinking that I would be able to take a small but well-deserved break from making Ja Morant highlight videos. Ha! Ha ha! How foolhardy of me to forget about the legend of Fourth Quarter Ja…
Read MoreMichael Carter-Williams 15 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
Michael Carter-Williams, by my estimation, is far enough along in his career for him to be eligible to have “vintage” performances. Performances that hearken back to his earlier, more productive days. Normally such designations are reserved for players a little longer in the tooth, but it seems clear that MCW is on the downswing of…
Read MoreDe’Andre Hunter 25 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
If the NBA insists on having teams within in its 30-squad ranks that just straight-up suck, it definitely helps for them to be the high-scoring variety of suck. The Hawks, who are one of the very worst teams in the league, just dropped 152 points on the hardly-any-better Wizards, who scored 133. 152 somehow isn’t…
Read MoreJerami Grant 25 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
Add Jerami Grant to the list of players whose development has been stunted by Paul Millsap the Team Ruiner. Surprise, as soon as Millsap goes out with an injury, Grant starts putting up the kind of numbers that were commonplace for him last season in Oklahoma City. Grant and Michael Porter Jr. should team up…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 17 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
Michael Porter Jr. has now scored in double digits in seven straight games. It’s clear that he’s going to be a core piece of the Nuggets going forward. Not only that, but fellow forward Jerami Grant has also been balling out lately. There’s a lot of reasons to be getting excited for this iteration of…
Read MoreBruce Brown 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
There were probably people (not me, because I didn’t think about this game at all before it happened) who were thinking that Bruce Brown would “lock down” Kyrie Irving in this one. Brown has the reputation of being a good defender, Irving has the reputation of being crazy, I bet Pistons fans on the whole…
Read MoreTomas Satoransky 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
DownToBuck ate some funny shrimp for lunch and isn’t feeling too well right now, so he’s going to phone in this description by utilizing the tried-and-true “power ranking” format. If the low-effort nature of this video description bothers you, I direct you to the description for tonight’s Shabazz Napier triple-double, which had a very high-effort…
Read MoreCedi Osman 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2020)
After watching Cedi Osman lay the ball up rather than dunk it on a give-and-go play with Kevin Love, it occurred to me that I can’t remember ever seeing Osman dunk the ball. He gets a lot of layups, but never any dunks. Upon doing a YouTube search for “Cedi Osman Dunk”, some of the…
