Zach LaVine is rapidly approaching the “too good for DownToBuck’s Scrublights Archivium” threshold. He put up decent stats last year, but there were still arguments to be made that beneath the flashy exterior of dunks and threes there was a player who wasn’t actually all that good. Maybe those arguments still exist. Inefficient, not a…

Joel Embiid 18 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
Let’s just ignore those turnovers that Joel Embiid had late in the fourth quarter that hurt his team’s chances at winning their first game of the season. Just straight up ignore them. Instead, we can blame the loss on Hollis Thompson. Yeah, that sounds good. Frickin’ Hollis, sabotaging his team yet again with his antics….
Read MoreDeyonta Davis 17 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
One of the saddest things about this year’s draft was Deyonta Davis sitting there sadly as team after team passed on him. He was projected to be a reasonably high first-rounder, and as the night grew longer, so too did his face. Seemed like after every pick, after the producers got done showing who was…
Read MoreDario Saric 21 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
It’s too bad that Dario Saric’s first good performance as an NBA player had to end up in nothing but another 76ers loss. And not just any 76ers loss: this one could even be called “heartbreaking”. Or maybe it can’t. Is it even possible to break a heart that has already been trampled and trod…
Read MoreIsaiah Canaan 15 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (10/31/2016)
I made highlights of this performance because I fully believed that six assists would be Isaiah Canaan’s career-high in that category. How foolish of me to assume that a midget shooting guard like the Canaan-Ball (because he’s ball-shaped from being fat ROFL) wouldn’t be able to rack up a larger amount of assists when unwisely…
Read MoreKyle Korver 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (10/31/2016)
I’m really getting sick of these damn kids ringing my doorbell and interrupting me from my work. It’s like, you can see my hunched over form through the blinds, illuminated only by the harsh glow of a computer monitor. You can just assume from that fact that there won’t be any candy handed out. I…
Read MorePatty Mills 18 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2016)
Patty Mills checked his reflection in the rear-view mirror one more time. Seeing that his blond wig had come slightly askew on the drive over, he adjusted it until it was perfectly in place. His lipstick had fared better, and was just as garishly red as it had been when he had applied it thirty…
Read MoreSteven Adams 14 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (10/30/2016)
Last year it was proven conclusively that Steven Adams can catch lobs from Westbrook all the time if he wants. You can refer to Adams’ 2015-16 dunkilation for proof. This year should be no different, except it should be better since Durant is no longer there to take possessions away from the unstoppable pick and…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 19 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2016)
It is well-known among NBA fans that if you have a good game against a subpar defender or subpar defensive team, the good game doesn’t count. Taking that into account, Austin “Save Me from the D-League Daddy” Rivers’ efficient 8-of-11 shooting night is made null by the fact that Slow Joe Ingles was guarding him…
Read MoreVince Carter 18 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2016)
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the official NBA YouTube channel has stepped up its game this season. More player performance highlights à la DawkIns, some full game highlights à la Ximo Pierto, even a single-day dunkilation à la nobody, because that’s never been done before. They’re still lacking in scrublights à la DownToBuck,…
