Derrick White’s 6 blocks in this game are the most in any single game by a guard this season, tied with Jrue Holiday. No other guard even has 5. Obviously, when it comes to guards and blocking shots, you’re getting a lot of strips and knockaways, which is a lot lamer than bigmen rejecting dunks…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 31 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
We are honestly way, way, WAY past the point of Luka Doncic being too good for my channel. That point was passed a long time ago. However, since he was not actually named an All-Star (except the All-Star of all of our hearts), my self-imposed rules say that I can’t remove him from my channel…
Read MoreJabari Parker 20 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
It worries me how little the Wizards broadcast seemed to care about showing replays of Jabari Parker. He had some really aesthetically-pleasing dunks, but the exact level of aesthetic pleasure they offered couldn’t be accurately determined because there weren’t enough slow-motion replays from different angles to get a real feel for the dunks. The in-game…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 28 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
I was wondering why I hadn’t made a Din-Dins highlight video in a while. It worried me because Din-Dins regularly has good games, even with the presence of D’Angelo Russell and Shabazz Napier on the team taking minutes that should be his. He has shown himself to be so resilient that nothing should stop him…
Read MoreDavid Nwaba Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
This is what I live for. Scrubs whose entire careers are just a singular parade of scrubdom, perhaps broken up by stints in the G-League or in weird countries that end in “-ia”, scoring amounts of points that nobody anticipated. Here, the scrub in question is one David Nwaba, and he scored twenty-two points in…
Read MoreDwight Powell Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
While expertly editing (actually, I prefer the term “composing”) this Dwight Powell highlights package for the consumption of the drooling YouTube hordes, I couldn’t help but wonder: is the pronunciation of Dwight a dialectical thing? The main Mavs commentator always calls him “Duh-Wight”. Meanwhile, I just call him “Dwite”. When Dwight Howard was still alive…
Read MoreJeff Teague 16 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (3/5/2019)
Jeff Teague is averaging 8.1 assists per game. If he hadn’t missed so many games this season, thus disqualifying him from the leaderboards, that would be good for third in the league. And heck, I think 39 games is enough, so let’s just say it: Teague is fourth in the league in assists per game…
Read MoreDarren Collison 22 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2019)
You know the league is full to the brim with premiere point guard talent when an extremely solid guy on one of the best teams in the league gets literally no attention whatsoever. And in case you were wondering, videos on DownToBuck’s Scrubarchive do not count as “attention”. They never did. I’m talking about real…
Read MoreRobin Lopez 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/5/2019)
Basketball-Reference currently has the Bulls at a 0% chance to make the playoffs this season. But Basketball-Reference doesn’t have eyes. Basketball-Reference can’t see what humans see, and what this particular human is seeing is an improved standard of play from this team. If they don’t resort to outright tanking, it’s possible that they’ll win quite…
Read MoreMaurice Harkless 20 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (3/5/2019)
Moe Harkless was uncharacteristically aggressive in this game. He was aggressive to the point where the aggression could not have solely come from within him; we know with certainty that he doesn’t have that extra switch inside him that would allow him to be so scoring-focused for an entire game. I’m thinking either Terry Stotts,…
