There are 23 games left in the regular season. Dirk Nowitzki needs 92 points to pass Wilt Chamberlain and secure 6th place in the career point total leaderboard (he also needs 191 to pass LeBron again, assuming LeBron dies right now and doesn’t rise again on the third day). The question on everybody’s minds: can…
Read MoreTrey Burke 20 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
Everyone knows that DownToBuck cannot resist a heaping platter of REVENGE, served cold. So when I saw that Trey Burke had 20 against the team that draft-and-dumped him, I was salivating. Some other videos had to get done first, and I’m sorry about that, but they were all just a prelude to the devastation that…
Read MoreKenneth Faried 20 Points/2 Threes Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
A whole bunch of narratives just imploded all at once during this Rockets-Warriors game. Let’s do a run down: The “James Harden needs to carry the Rockets harder than anyone has carried anybody since 2005 Kobe” narrative: SMASHED The “Chris Paul is washed” narrative: DESTROYED The “Stephanie Lurry’s name is actually Stephen Curry” narrative: OBSOLETED…
Read MoreIsh Smith 22 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
There was a time, a few years ago, where I was growing resentful of all the Ish Smith videos I was being forced to upload. It’s not like there was anyone standing behind me with a sjambok forcing me under threat of violence; it was my own sense of duty to role-players that compelled me…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 19 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
There are a lot of great things going on with this current Bucks season. Tons of tons of aspects, some of the greater than others, but all combining to make a season that has increased the amount of bandwagoners to never-before-seen levels, which actually isn’t so great. Attention bandwagoners: if you don’t remember and cherish…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 17 Points/1 Block Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
I watched most of this game live (“live” as in I was watching on my computer, not “live” as in I was at the game), so I was blessed enough to watch Anthony Tolliver completely erase Giannis’ dunk attempt in real time. When it happened I yelled “oh FRICK” out loud, but I used a…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic 17 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Normally, seventeen points is not enough for a Nikola Mirotic highlight video. However, I made this video anyway, for the following reasons: OFFICIAL REASON #1: I figured that people want to see Mirotic’s first “good” game with his new team. That would be something that I would want to watch as a…
Read MoreThomas Bryant 23 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
Does Thomas Bryant even qualify for the MIP Improved Player award? I know a lot of people say that you can’t give it to a second-year player because drastic improvement is expected from rookies. That’s not a codified rule as far as I know (it’s more like a “guideline”), but it seems to be one…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 24 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
Jusuf Nurkic moved quickly to the door leading to the 76ers’ locker room. It wouldn’t do to be seen by an arena staff member and have his carefully-plotted plan interrupted before it had even begun. No, it would not do at all. Opening the door, Jusuf slipped inside the locker room, half-expecting it to still…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 29 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
There is a fact here that I’m going to have to face even though I definitely don’t want to face it: Brandon Ingram has been playing pretty well lately. Stabbing pains are shooting through my entire body after writing that. I almost want to go back and delete it and tell the whole world that…
