Here’s a question: if nobody but stars have good performances on a given night, do I have to make highlights? I decided that yes, I do have to make at least one highlight video. So I picked the most impressive scrubformance (that’s scrub performance for you plebes out there) out of the three games that…
Read MoreTony Snell 16 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2015)
“Why do scrubs always go off on us?” Wail the fans of every team ever in history. “This guy sucked the whole year and now he says ‘oh I think I will dominate this team even though I am not even good at my particular sport’, well screw him!” You can bet that Bucks fans…
Read MoreMichael Carter-Williams 19 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/23/2015)
In my last Michael Carter-Williams video, I commented on the fact that his jumper was totally borked, an uncontrollable mess of flailing limbs that was just as likely to bank in as it was to airball. Good news! Looks like someone told him to shoot it better/different, because it doesn’t look AS screwed up anymore….
Read MoreRyan Anderson 26 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2015)
Ryan Anderson, Devonte, and several of his gang members rode in Devonte’s beat-up car towards the Smoothie King Center, home of the Smoothie King himself. Turning the flamethrower over and over in his hands, Ryan was lost in thought. How did he know that the Smoothie King wasn’t controlling his own thoughts right at this…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 12 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/22/2015)
It is mildly concerning to me that the Hawks aren’t winning their games by more points than they are. How is the German Rondo supposed to get his ring when the Hawks can’t even curbstomp the Nets by thirty each game like they’re supposed to? Is it because they’re not giving enough minutes to the…
Read MoreCourtney Lee 18 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2015)
It’s a known fact that everybody on the 2009-10 New Jersey Nets, the team that went 12-70, is cursed. Many of the players on that team are out of the league, and those that are in the league have yet to find sustained success on good teams. Devin Harris is doing good on the Mavs,…
Read MorePatty Mills 18 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2015)
Patty Mills was convinced of it: this place was hell on earth. First of all, he was surrounded by depraved sickos. What else would one expect from a place called “San Antonio Paraphilia Rehabilitation”? As he sat in his padded cell, he tried to remember all the crazies he had been forced to talk with…
Read MoreJarrett Jack 23 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2015)
DownToBuck does not love all role-players equally. Like a biased parent, he picks and chooses his favorites, showering special attention on some while neglecting others. DeMar DeRozan watches sadly as endless highlights get made of Donatas Motiejunas. Jarrett Jack is one of the ignored ones. I just don’t like him. I can’t explain why except…
Read MoreKyle Korver 17 Points Full Highlights (4/22/2015)
Allen Iverson and Kyle Korver were teammates back in the old days before dress codes and advanced statistics. Young Korver was just a rookie, eager to be tutored by one of the greatest scorers in the game. Sharpen your pencils, kiddos, it’s quiz time! How much of the future All-Star Kyle Korver’s All-Stariness can we…
Read MorePatrick Patterson 15 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2015)
The Raptors have to wonder what’s going on right now. The only team to lose a playoff game at home so far, and they’ve lost two of them. What’s the deal? I thought Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan were the best backcourt in the east, that combined with top-3 center Jonas Valanciunas and 6th Man…
