Dillon Brooks scored 25 points on 26 shots in this game. At one point he was 0-for-6 from the field, but did that stop him from chucking the ball until it was deflated and unsuitable for in-game use? NO! He chucked it twenty more times! And eventually he got to the point where a casual…

Grayson Allen 20 Points Full Highlights (8/9/2020)
The Grayson Allen – J.J. Redick comparisons are so easy to make that I feel guilty about making them. Journalism feels like it should require more effort than this. My viewers deserve hard-hitting, well-researched video descriptions but I’m sitting here grabbing all the low-hanging fruit that I can. Allen and Redick are both 6’4″-ish. They…
Read MoreIsaac Bonga 14 Points Full Highlights (8/9/2020)
According to basketball-reference, Isaac Bonga doesn’t qualify for the “season leader” stats because he doesn’t meat the criteria for qualifying (criteria which I am entirely too lazy to look up). However, if he did qualify, he would be the proud owner of the third-lowest usage rate in the entire league. That’s right. At 10.6% usage…

OFFICIAL NUMBER OF DTB HIGHLIGHT VIDEOS THAT JEROME ROBINSON HAS GOTTEN SINCE THE BUBBLE STARTED: 4 OFFICIAL NUMBER OF DTB HIGHLIGHT VIDEOS THAT JEROME ROBINSON GOT IN HIS CAREER BEFORE THE BUBBLE: 2 There is something seriously wrong with those numbers. Robinson played 87 games in his career before July 2020 and all he has…
Read MoreDarius Bazley Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (8/9/2020)
The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of my favorite teams in the league, for two reasons: 1. They have a bunch of players who can bring rain from the midrange (SGA, Schroder, CP3) and I’ve decided that midrange jumpshots are definitely my favorite type of shot 2. All their highest-scoring players are “too good” for…
Read MoreDorian Finney-Smith Career High 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (8/8/2020)
Nine out of Dorian Finney-Smith’s ten buckets in this game were assisted by Luka Doncic. Not saying that to denigrate Finney-Smith here, just saying that to illustrate the fact that were it not for Finney-Smith’s hot shooting, Doncic’s monster triple-double would be just a regular triple-double with a lot of points. I hope Doncic ordered…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 34 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (8/8/2020)
Brook Lopez’s career-long quest for a 40-burger continues. I swear I remembered him having one with the Nets, but I might have been thinking of the time Nikola Vucevic dropped 40 on him, because basketball-reference indicates that his career-high is 39. My memory is failing me at an ever-increasing rate. DownToBuck’s Internetip (that’s a portmanteau…
Read MoreQuinn Cook 21 Points Full Highlights (8/8/2020)
I still remember where I was when I found out that LeBron James was joining forces with some of the other stars in the league to form a superteam in Los Angeles. I was in my apartment, sitting in front of the computer, because that’s where I’ve been for at least 90% of my life….
Read MoreJerami Grant 21 Points Full Highlights (8/8/2020)
For a good chunk of this season, Jerami Grant was unequivocally the better of the two Grant brothers (the other being Jerian Grant, in case you forgot about him). The reason his betterness was unequivocal was because he was on a roster and Jerian wasn’t. Even if Jerami had only averaged 0.3 PPG on -50%…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 11 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (8/8/2020)
Jinglin’ Joe Ingles did his best John Stockton impression in this game, regularly feeding his teammates for clutch late-game buckets that kept the Nuggets nervous throughout the fourth quarter plus the two overtime periods. In the end, however, the Nuggets pulled out the victory. They were jingled for sure, but not jingled enough to actually…
