I knew I was in for some punishment when I saw that Alex Len made ten free throws in this game to just five made field goals. And when Len made three of his five field goals before even taking a free throw, I had to resist the urge to unplug my computer and throw…

Willie Reed 15 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
There is a certain amount of shame I have to endure when uploading a video that is less than a minute long. Presenting a video of such length is like an implicit admission that the video in question is of little entertainment value. And, in the case of this Willie “Not Willis” Reed video, there…
Read MoreManu Ginobili 18 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
“Dear Mr. Ginobili, My name is DownToBuck and I make NBA highlight videos which get uploaded to the popular video-sharing website YouTube. This introduction is likely to be unnecessary; I know that you, like every other NBA player, are a man consumed by his own vanity, and you cannot resist the allure of watching your…
Read MoreKent Bazemore 22 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
Kent Bazemore’s singular greatest career accomplishment might have been turning his experience as the seventh man on that 60-win Hawks team, then being the starter next year on a 50-win Hawks team, into a big-boy $70 million deal that pays him like a primary scoring option. Whoever his agent is, I want to hire him…
Read MoreJonathan Isaac 11 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
You can kind of see why Jonathan Isaac went 6th overall. He’s basketball-player-looking as heck! Just a jet-black supertall dude who is made out of arms and legs and hairs. If you did the draft based only on how much the draftees looked like Harlem Globetrotters, this dude would go first overall. No doubt. For…
Read MoreAlex Abrines 14 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
The Thunder are a superteam now. A superteam of superfriends where Alex Abrines gets to not be included along with almost everyone else on his team. I can’t be the only one who misses the old Westbrook one-man-show, can I? For one thing, it meant more touches for Abrines who now finds his touches somewhat…
Read MoreJohn Collins 16 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
I truly think that right now, the thing holding John Collins back from greater things, or at least more general hype, is his name. John Collins. I’m trying to think of a boringer name, and it’s hard. There are definitely no first names as lame as John. Collins isn’t as lame as like “Williams” but…
Read MoreShane Larkin 16 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
Shane Larkin is back! In the NBA! This will surprise a lot of people, because a lot of people thought he really sucked, but it doesn’t surprise me, because I didn’t think he was that bad. Not exactly “good”, but far from “go to Europe and never come back”. I mean, if he had gone…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 21 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
Jusuf Nurkic sat basically the whole 4th quarter tonight. I don’t really see why the Blazers coaching staff would do that. Ed Davis, his replacement, is more of a “solid” player, I guess. If you can live with the lack of offense he provides. But the real reason you don’t bench Nurk is because last…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 22 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
Sometimes I like to go back and watch the old HoopMixTapes of current NBA players and think about how, when the vid was made, that no one knew they would be dominating in the actual big leagues. Yeah, a lot of people assumed, but they assume that about every player that has a hype-video made…
