https://youtu.be/JsYhZxz-r1c I don’t blame the Raptors for maybe not being as good as maybe some people (not me) maybe thought they should be. Maybe. Having to play all your “home” games in Tampa, and not being able to actually live in your actual residence in Toronto, that’s gotta be tough. Living out of a hotel…

Landry Shamet 22 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2021)
https://youtu.be/gNTXgkXn5qg Out of all the dudes playing for the Brooklyn Nets, Landry Shamet stood to lose the most in a potential James Harden acquisition that abruptly went from “potential” to “confirmed”. Shamet was already struggling as the backup shooting guard to Joe Harris. Then Harden came along and the struggling Shamet had a few games…
Read MoreAlex Len 18 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (2/5/2021)
https://youtu.be/KjEX7KLPr7c The Raptors made a bold move this off-season by lowballing Serge Ibaka and letting Marc Gasol two-step right out the door, then replacing those guys with…Aron Baynes and Alex Len. Marc Gasol is bootytrash right now so that aspect of it isn’t so bad, but there’s no way that Baynes and Len even come…
Read MorePatrick Williams 20 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2021)
https://youtu.be/q4YzSi9V9cQ Even though the league is still chucking threes at an unprecedented rate (it seems like every night there’s a team setting a franchise high in made threes), I feel like the midrange is making a bit of a comeback. But this is just my gut feeling. It’s very possible that if I were to…
Read MoreLaMelo Ball Career High 34 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/5/2021)
https://youtu.be/6GHDX8p4jh4 LaMelo Ball awoke from his slumber only to come to the immediate conclusion that he had seamlessly transitioned from one dream into another. The place he was in was like no place he had been on Earth. A brightly shining sun, whose light was dampened by silver cloud cover, lent an otherworldly glow to…
Read MoreJae’Sean Tate 19 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2021)
https://youtu.be/Qtnw2YDWVq4 Undrafted rookie Jae’Sean Tate made a name for himself early in his basketball career, not by performing particularly well or for having an insane vertical leap, but for throwing a basketball at a notable teammate of his who had moobs and a beard and really, really wanted to be traded really bad. Getting into…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 19 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/sr8Y836Q2Sk OFFICIAL DTB STATISTICAL FINDING OF THE DAY: Jakob Poeltl, who has averaged 17 MPG per game over the course of his career, is sixth in his draft class in TOTAL win shares. Not win shares per 48, but raw absolute win shares. He’s tied with Jamal Murray on the list, and he’s ahead of…
Read MoreKenrich Williams 19 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/2TvwTYWhBec Let it be known that DownToBuck actually watched some of this contest between the Thunder and the Rockets, and let it also be known that DownToBuck was surprised and, honestly, dismayed, to find that Kenrich Williams was actually doing a few productive things on the court during that span of time. This is dismaying…
Read MoreTyrese Haliburton 21 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/TBead9rLBkQ I think this video represents the first upload that the Sacramento Kings have gotten on my channel this season. That seems like an oversight until you remember that Nemanja Bjelica is getting DNP’s. If we’re being honest about the situation (and you know that DownToBuck is all about honesty), Richaun Holmes had a couple…
Read MoreBryn Forbes 20 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/SM1FBE2vq_g The Bucks made a lot of moves during the offseason. Some of them major, like trading a whole bunch of everything for Jrue Holiday, some of them minor, like signing Mamadi Diakite to a two-way deal, and some of them middling, like giving Bryn Forbes a two-year, 5-million dollar deal. If you disagree with…
