Grayson Allen looks like the kind of dude who would write a manifesto. Am I the only one seeing this? He’s got “manifesto-writer” written all over his face and probably the rest of his body too. You think about dudes who have written manifestos in the past, and then you think about Grayson Allen, and…

Read MoreRudy Gay 24 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)
I can just hear the imagined utterances of the haters now: “DownToBuck didn’t make a Rudy Gay nineteen point highlight video because DownToBuck hates the Spurs.” “Rudy Gay scoring nineteen points is eminently worthy of a highlight video and anybody who thinks otherwise is being an ignoramus.” “My life revolves around consuming media featuring the…
Read MoreMonte Morris 17 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)
Monte Morris scored 0 points in the first half of this game. Then he scored seventeen points in the second half, each one of them necessary to bring the game to overtime, where the Nuggets eventually took the victory. It’s clear that Monte Morris was embarrassed and ashamed after his dismal first half, where he…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)
Michael Porter Jr. rolled over groggily, slowly awakening from what must have been a very deep sleep. However, when his nose smashed against the unyieldingly hard surface below him, his return to full consciousness was hastened substantially. Opening his eyes, he found himself staring at a floor made out of pure marble. Thinking that his…
Read MoreAaron Holiday 17 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)
The quandary I faced while trying to determine whether or not I should make this highlight video perfectly demonstrates why I need to implement some kind of system where I use basic box-score stats modified by a predefined “scrub index” to generate a “video suitability score”. I literally spent an hour mulling this one over….
Read MoreFred VanVleet Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)
Check out these choice quotes from my latest Terrence Ross highlight video: “My absolute burning hatred for free throws.” “…My highlight videos are repeatedly getting ruined by players and their stupid tendency to get fouled and shoot free throws.” “…Some way to play the game of basketball without free-throws.” And yet, here I am again,…
Read MoreJerome Robinson 17 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Jerome Robinson needed to take eighteen shots in order to score seventeen points. There is an old adage that goes, “Show me a man who attempts more field goals than scores points, and I will show you a man who had a detrimental effect on his team’s chances of winning.” I think…
Read MoreThomas Bryant 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (8/3/2020)
Okay, so it turns out that “Bubble T.J. Warren” is totally a thing that is totally happening right now. But you know what else is totally a thing that is totally happening right now? “Bubble Thomas Bryant”! Note the inclusion of the exclamation point in the preceding paragraph. That exclamation point indicates how HYPED and…
Read MoreJa Morant 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (8/2/2020)
Fourth quarter Ja Morant does it again. At this point, I’m not even sure that he’s aware of the existence of the other three quarters. He must think those are all just warmups/shootarounds for the twelve minutes of “real game” that happen during the fourth quarter. With eleven points in the fourth quarter, after scoring…
