Derrick Jones can slam the basketball good. And that’s it. Of course, the ability to slam good is one of the more desirable traits that a basketball player can have, and if you can slam it good enough, you don’t need to do anything else to secure a spot in the league, at least for…

Doug McDermott 16 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
There is no reason to discuss anything about or anyone on the Thunder unless it is as it relates to Russell Westbrook’s quest to average a triple-double. Has there ever been a team where one player so thoroughly dominates his team’s narrative? Even Jordan had Pippen. Westbrook has… Oladipo? And Doug “Dougie McThunderBuckets” McDermott. McDermott…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
Jusuf Nurkic had 19 points and 5 assists tonight, which you can tell from the video title. What you can’t tell, and what you can only get a glimpse of in the thumbnail, is that he also set a new career-high in facial expressions, with 53. Only a small handful of the very best ones…
Read MoreMarcus Morris Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
Once again, this sick scoring performance by Marcus Morris doesn’t even feel THAT sick. Objectively, I know it’s a sick performance. A career-highs for a role-player is sick. 37 points for a role-player is sick. That’s all there is to it. If a 37-point game by a player wasn’t sick, it would mean that player…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 19 Pts/16 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
It’s okay everybody. Calm down. Everbody calm down. Calm your tits. Nikola Jokic is still good. He can still play basketball. Rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated. Admit it, you were freaking out when Jokic had that post-All-Star-break streak of low productivity performances. You read the news blurbs where he claimed he was…
Read MoreRakeem Christmas 10 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
DownToBuck is a man who always searches for answers. Not just ANY answers. Answers that contain within them the very essence of truth. That is why, for the past week, I’ve been trying to answer the question: is Rakeem Christmas the same person as Dionte Christmas, or are they different people? I started simply enough…
Read MoreMalcolm Brogdon 20 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
I’m so tired of Delly. I liked the signing at the time, and maybe it can still work, but it’s seeming more and more likely that the only offensive system he can thrive in is the “Have LeBron On Your Team” system. Why he keeps getting minutes over Malcolm Brogdon is baffling to me. I…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 14 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
It’s so nice of LeBron James to offer his career-resuscitation services to all these unwanted vets. Derrick Williams, Deron Williams, Andrew Bogut, Channing Frye, Richard Jefferson, Kyrie Irving, all these players were facing the ending of their NBA careers before LeBron and James Jones scooped them up and turned them into primo role-players. All Derrick…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 15 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
If you’re a Sixers fan, you have to look at the silver lining of the injury cloud that obscures every aspect of your favored franchise. It’s there, believe me, it might be razor-thin, but that god-damn silver lining is there and you have to look at it, otherwise you end up staring into the black…
Read MoreZaza Pachulia 16 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2017)
Not to turn this into my own personal blog (oh, who am I kidding), but based on the rancid -ass burps I’ve been ejecting into my highlights-cave, I think figured out the source of my gastric distress: that iced coffee I had from Starbucks. Note to self: coffee doesn’t even taste that good, so why…
