I always kind of assumed that Trevor Ariza was somewhere around 40 percent from three during his time with the Rockets. Just on the basis of how many games he had where he hit a bunch. Turns out I was being a really big dumbass, because he’s shot 35%-ish from three during those four years….

Jeremy Lamb 24 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
The problem with drafting project players, and the Thunder found out, is that they sometimes take a really long time to develop. You can devote all your resources, give them the opportunities, and sometimes it just takes them five or six years to contribute majorly to winning basketball. Often, you will have moved on long…
Read MoreDeyonta Davis 14 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
Much like the last (and only, before tonight) time I made a Deyonta Davis highlight package, the buckets contained within fail to elicit much excitement from me. Put more simply, they’re boring. All it is is Davis getting spoonfed looks right at the basket, finishing them in the lamest way possible. Can he create his…
Read MoreWes Johnson 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
In case you were wondering, no, I did not forget to put “Career High” in the title of this video. Apparently Wes Johnson scored 29 points his rookie year, somehow, even though he was even then a huge bust, and I even made highlights of him scoring 27 with the Lakers. That vid got only…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 40 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
Players in the NBA who have multiple 40-point games this season: James Harden Giannis Antetokounmpo Khris Middleton Players in the NBA who don’t have multiple 40-point games this season: All members of the “superteam” Warriors Jonas Jerebko LeBron James Everyone else Players in the NBA who have the most money midrange jumper in the league:…
Read MoreThon Maker 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
Defying the expectations of pretty much all Bucks fans, Thon Maker did not build on the “promising” playoff series he had against the Raptors. Notice those quotation marks? Those mean that DownToBuck did not think Maker’s play against Toronto in the postseason was very promising at all. He looked kind of okay, sometimes. Nothing that…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. Career High 38 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
Huh. Wow. That third quarter was sure something. The crowd at MSG was freaking out as the Knicks scored point after point, with no response from the Raptors except sad faces and one angry coach. I’m sure any Raptors fans who haven’t yet succumbed to the cold Canadian winter turned this one off after their…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 26 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2017)
While making these Aaron Gordon highlights, I couldn’t help but notice how similar he was looking to a certain Magic star from the past. Can you guess who I’m thinking of? Watch the vid first for clues. Hint 1: It’s not Shaq Hint 2: It’s not Scott Skiles Hint 3: Greg Kite? Nah. Give up?…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 22 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2017)
Twenty-two points for Kyle Kuzma is great. It’s nice. I like it. But after he had eighteen in the first half alone, I expected a little bit more. I’m not saying he has to set new career highs every game, but I am saying that he should score more points for my entertainment. The customer…
Read MoreDenzel Valentine 17 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2017)
Is Denzel Valentine a legit good three point shooter now? “Good” might not even be a strong enough word. “Elite” is pushing it, but we’re going with it for now. Is Denzel Valentine legit an elite three-point shooter now? He’s making 43% of his six threezone attempts per game, and we’re over a sixth of…
