The Houston Rockets seem to be a perfect fit for Chris Clemons. In retrospect, we could’ve seen this coming; what better place for a guy who loves nothing more than to shoot tons of shots, than a place where the coach loves to have his players shoot tons of shots? It’s a match made in…
Read MoreNickeil Alexander-Walker 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/16/2019)
Nickeil “Hell NAW” Alexander-Walker was, prior to this game, shooting a positively frigid 26 percent from the field. That’s like me, when I’m playing against people who can actually play and not just randoms at the park. I’m sure the issues currently plaguing Alexander-Walker are the same ones I face: the opposition is bigger and…
Read MoreNorman Powell 26 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019)
Raptors fans may be excited (at least for Norman Powell’s individual performance, not the actual outcome of the game), but I, DownToBuck, am thoroughly disappointed. Disappointment washes over my entire body, filling every crevice and orifice with its putrid stench. I had this game circled on my calendar, I was counting down the days, and…
Read MoreJake Layman 21 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019)
Timberwolves record when Jake Layman scores in double digits: 5-2 Timberwolves record when Jake Layman scores in single digits: 1-5 The conclusion is clear: the Timberwolves’ success is closely tied to Layman’s success. It cannot possibly be the other way around (where Layman’s success is tied to the Timberwolves’ success). Just don’t even let that…
Read MoreDevonte’ Graham 29 Points/9 Threes/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (11/16/2019)
Two games, two game-winners in a row for the Charlotte Hornets. The first one by Malik Monk, this one by Devonte’ Graham. The Hornets might not actually be a good team, but they sure know how to get it done in clutch situations this year. I don’t think the Charlotte faithful know how to react;…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 20 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2019)
There’s not much point in writing anything of substance in the description box of a Dillon Brooks highlight video. I’ve made three other videos for him this season, and not one of them has reached the mythical thousand-view threshold that basically informs me whether or not the video should even have been made in the…
Read MoreDevonte’ Graham 18 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/15/2019)
Devonte’ Graham might have gotten the double-double, and the Hornets might have gotten the win, but Graham unfortunately entered distinguished territory (and not the good kind of distinguished) by requiring 23 shots to score eighteen points in this game. Scoring fewer points than you take shots is bad enough. To have that difference be so…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes 17 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2019)
The Kings have rebounded from their slow start, and only lost this game to the star-studded Lakers by two points, but they’re still just 4-7 and playoffs are looking remote even at this early stage of the season. For a team that looked so promising last season, it’s hard to know exactly what went wrong,…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 20 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2019)
Terrence Ross has not been good this year. For a player who was getting ever closer to earning a place on my exclusion list (which will eventually get released I swear), his regression was both unexpected and disappointing. This is his first twenty-point game after doing it 21 times last season and his percentages are…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 18 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2019)
If the Pacers had any sense, they would play Doug McDermott thirty minutes per game and make him the number one option. Not only because he might thrive as a number one option (he’s never been that in the NBA, but in college it worked out well for him), but because he’s a very “Indiana”…
