Keldon Johnson Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2021)

https://youtu.be/suGfB1CCwaY I would say that, most of the time, fanbases are decidedly inaccurate in their assessment of their own players. Putting on the homer goggles will usually present your eyeballs with a wildly distorted vision of reality, and the problem with all fanbases is that the homer goggles are permanently attached. There’s no taking those…

Otto Porter 28 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2020)

https://youtu.be/tbLSwI3HtoU With the way the Bulls got boomed in the first two games of the season, I was starting to have my doubts at to whether they’d win a game this season. They might not have egg-man as their coach anymore, but even without his malign presence causing everything to be roughly 50 percent worse…

Thomas Bryant 28 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/31/2020)

https://youtu.be/-NUMPHJXoCo New Year’s Eve is not normally a big deal at the DownToBuck household. The most exciting thing I do is I go the supermarket, pick out a random flavor of juice-from-concentrate, and then mix it with Fresca to make a big bowl of punch. Then I sip the punch (which is decidedly non-alcoholic, by…

Dejounte Murray Career High 29 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2020)

https://youtu.be/gGvl5wOhHjw Sometimes new eras sneak up on you without you realizing that you’ve transitioned from on era to the other. For example, the industrial revolution represented a bold new era of human productivity, but the people who made the first crappy steam engine hooked up to a janky loom probably didn’t realize they were in…

LaMelo Ball 22 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2020)

https://youtu.be/LzRpLYNwoZE Imagine, if you will, a universe where the incredble hype surrounding LaMelo Ball does not exist, where the attention paid to his family is minimal, where there has never been any such concept as “Big Baller Brand”, and where there is a special machine that lets you to mix and match Pop-Tart flavors, allowing…

Isaiah Roby 19 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2020)

https://youtu.be/sF5B0NBdjF8 OFFICIAL DTB CONFESSION: I almost added the descriptor of “Thunder Debut” to the title of this video. The only reason I didn’t was because I went to Isaiah Roby’s basketball-reference page to verify some information. It was on that page that I saw that Roby isn’t even a rookie. I’m just going to pause…

Monte Morris Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2020)

https://youtu.be/iEvCAMzS-x0 The last time Monte Morris set a career high, back near the end of 2018-19 season, my senses were so clouded by my #hypedforgaryharris that I almost neglected to make a video for the performance. Can you believe that? My lack of hype for Morris was so profound that I saw that he had…

Kyle Anderson Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2020)

https://youtu.be/5WhHb4pnklQ In honor of Kyle Anderson’s newly-minted career high, which completely blows past his previous career high of twenty and makes it almost all the way to thirty, I will revisit the things that I said in my previous video description for him (written two days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBEP8wGrVAo) to see how prescient I really am….

Gary Trent Jr. 28 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2020)

https://youtu.be/iifdMwkyIHU It must be a unique kind of pain for LeBron James, who has always needed “shooters” put around him, to look over at the opposing bench and see a shooter who is way better than any shooter on his own team. To get beat by a Blazers squad let by off-the-bench sharpshooter Gary Trent…

Luguentz Dort 26 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2020)

https://youtu.be/bpDd5ZgRIp0 I’m looking at the Thunder roster right now, and I’m just coming to the startling (perhaps even disquieting) conclusion that Luguentz Dort is their third option on offense. When you frame things in that context, 26 points from isn’t even really a surprise. Third options on teams score 26 points all the time. A…
