I have to thank the Memphis Grizzlies for crapping the bed so thoroughly that the Warriors were able to give Ian Clark an entire quarter of playing time. Without their cooperation and support, Clark might not have even seen the court in this game, much less scored in double digits. The Grizzlies have shown that…

Al-Farouq Aminu 17 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2015)
“And this will be your locker,” Neil Olshey said. “It was actually the one LaMarcus used last season, but we don’t talk about that.” “Sure,” said Al-Farouq. It looked a lot like any other locker in any other locker room. In fact, it was exactly the same. He looked back over at Neil to see…
Read MoreKevin Martin 24 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2015)
Normally I don’t like to make highlights where a lot of free throws are taken. Plays where fouls are drawn are not usually the most fun to watch, and often the ratio of buckets highlights to non-buckets highlights gets skewed within the video. I’m making an exception here. Watching Kevin Martin draw fouls is watching…
Read MoreKarl-Anthony Towns 11 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/2/2015)
Oh damn. Karl-Anthony Towns can shoot threes now? Damn. Damn damn damn. I’ve already forgotten about Andrew Wiggins, henceforth referred to as “Second Banana” or just “Banana”. With Karl-Anthony adding a long-bomb to his repertoire, he is officially the completest offensive talent on the Timberwolves. What can’t he do? Crossovers? I bet he could if…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 6 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (11/2/2015)
Steve Nash. John Stockton. Mark Price. These are all names that come to mind when you think of T.J. McConnell. Bonus comparison for fans of more obscure players: Brad Davis. These players all have two things in common: they all were/are point guards in the NBA, and they all have a distinct lack of melanin…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 15 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2015)
All good things must come to an end. That’s what my grammy told me once, and guess what, she ended up dying. She was a wise woman. In this case, I’m not talking about my impending mortality or the end of my Halloween candy or anything like that. I’m talking about my carefully crafted nickname…
Read MoreKristaps Porzingis 13 Points/1 Poster Dunk Full Highlights (11/2/2015)
I’m not a conspiracy theorist at all. Chemtrails, 9/11 controlled demolition, moon landing hoax, Tupac is really alive, all that stuff is just loony tunes. Makes no sense. Anyone with a critical bone in their bodies sees right through that wonky junk. That said, the circumstances around Kristaps Porzingis’ injury tonight are very suspicious. Is…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 17 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2015)
Did Marcus Smart and Jared Sullinger coordinate their hair or something? Both of them are sporting some kind of bleached mohawk. I’m not hip enough to know whether there is a different name for that hairstyle but I am DEFINITELY hip enough to know that I am smhing every time one of these dudes shows…
Read MoreJoffrey Lauvergne 11 Points/2 Threes Full Highlights (11/1/2015)
Stepping into the Nuggets locker room must be like stepping into the United Nations. They’ve got representatives from pretty much every country that matters and a few that don’t: Joffrey Lauvergne (France) Danilo Gallinari (Italy) Emmanuel Mudiay (Democratic Republic of the Congo) Nikola Jokic (Serbia) Jusuf Nurkic (Bosnia) Mike Miller (South Dakota) So when Mudiay…
Read MoreJulius Randle 22 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2015)
Advanced stats are all the rage nowadays. Simple box-score stats like points and rebounds are of little use to the modern NBA fan, who prefer inscrutable formulas and high-level analytics when determining the worth of a player. DownToBuck is no stranger to these concepts. Hence, I decided to cast my own hat into the ring,…
