DownToBuck can be somewhat of a hype junkie. I admit it. When I see good performances in progresses I just can’t help myself. I get hyped very quickly with little provocation. Here’s the hype timeline of my experience watching Marquese “Markweezy” Chriss against the Knicks last night: First Quarter: I get hyped when Chriss scores…

Dennis Schröder 19 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (12/13/2016)
Maybe there’s something fatally wrong with the Hawks, maybe there isn’t, but we all can agree that giving up 131 points to an offensively-challenged-and-that’s-putting-it-lightly Magic team is not a good a sign. At what point do you stop saying “they just keep hitting shots” and say instead “why does our defensive concept allow for so…
Read MoreKyle O’Quinn 22 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2016)
Forget about Porzingis vs. Chriss. The real fight I wanted to see this game was Kyle O’Quinn vs. Alan Williams. Two undersized centers, who know how to use their size to their advantage, trading blows while standing on the scorer’s table? That would be a must-watch. You could sell tickets for a fight like that,…
Read MoreKristaps Porzingis 34 Points/1 Fight Full Highlights (12/13/2016)
Kristaps Porzingis vs. Marquese Chriss: who ya got? I’m talking about if they actually fought with their fists here. Not what really happened, which wasn’t indicative of anything except that NBA players don’t, when it comes to down to it, actually want to throw down. Let’s take a look at the facts, shall we? MUSCULATURE:…
Read MoreElfrid Payton Career High 26 Points/Career High 14 Assists Full Highlights (12/13/2016)
This is just way too much Elfrid Payton highlights. I defy any one of you to watch this whole honkin’ vid in one sitting. It cannot be done. I edited in one sitting, sure. But that’s a whole different matter. I can zone out really easily while editing one of these suckers, I’m like a…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 29 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2016)
Man, I just issued a retraction on the whole Wesley Matthews deal with him not being so bad after all. I really don’t want to do the same for Serge Ibaka. The world can handle only so many DTB OFFICIAL RETRACTIONS before all confidence and trust in DownToBuck is eroded. Ibaka may not be as…
Read MoreMason Plumlee 18 Points/6 Assists/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/12/2016)
In my not-very-humble-at-all opinion, Mason Plumlee should not be allowed to shoot jumpers in-game. Ever. You will see a few successful attempts in this video, but they are vastly outnumbered by the jumpers you didn’t see because they didn’t go in. Here’s a truth bomb for you: Mason’s free throw looks like absolute garbage. Just…
Read MoreEric Gordon 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/12/2016)
Eric Gordon is currently third in three-point percentage out of players who have attempted more than 100 threes. C.J. McCollum and Kyle Lowry are ahead of him; Patty Mills is basically tied and J.J. Redick is right behind. So, it is fair to officially say that, officially, with Gordon’s official current percentage of 43.9%, Gordon…
Read MoreDorian Finney-Smith 13 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (12/12/2016)
I’m sitting here making highlights of this person, this “Dorian Finney-Smith”, and I don’t even know where Dirk Nowitzki is. Where is Dirk? I want Dirk. I don’t want a thing called Dorian Finney-Smith. Is he even a real person? I don’t know. I don’t care. Dirk is what’s real to me. What did they…
Read MoreIsaiah Whitehead 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/12/2016)
How many times do you think Isaiah Whitehead is going to get mistakenly referred to as “Whiteside” this season? Zero? Ten? A hundred? A thousand? It’s already happened once for sure, and by a Brooklyn commentator no less. Even I had to rewrite the title for this video three times before I correctly typed Whitehead…
