For what seems to be only the second or third time this season, Wayne Selden’s good play led to a Grizzlies win! I don’t know how they managed it, even Marc Gasol playing shouldn’t be enough to take down the Timberwolves, but they did, and Selden played a big part in it. He had 14…
Read MoreLonzo Ball 15 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2018)
I truly believe that a large part of Lonzo Ball’s popularity is due to how fun his name is to say. “Lonzo Ball”. “Lon-zo. Ball.” “Ball” It’s great. Just a really great name, both in print and vocalized. Distinctive, too. The kind of name you can easily build a brand off of. There’s a reason…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 27 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2018)
I wish I could say this was a revenge game for Michael Beasley, but, in what seems like a major career oversight, he hasn’t played for Charlotte, either as the Bobcats or Hornets, at all during his decade-long tenure in the NBA. He probably could’ve scored 30 a game on that one really bad Bobcats…
Read MoreTrey Burke Career High 42 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2018)
In the process of doing research for this description, I was forced to search “Trey Burke dick pic” to see if he did, in fact, send someone an image of his dong. I did not see the pic in question, luckily, but now Google thinks that I am interested in the genitalia of NBA players….
Read MorePau Gasol 22 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
DownToBuck doesn’t go to too many live NBA games. It’s not convenient for me because it usually conflicts with my highlight-making schedule. However, I did happen to attend this game live in the flesh at the Bradley Center, and here are some of my observations: -Concession prices are way out of control. A chicken tenders…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 21 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
Right now me and my 12-foot-fall purple 3D-printed statue of Buddy Hield are laying low for a while. There’s still a lot of news coverage about how they found a dead guy in our neighborhood, and I’m constantly afraid that they’re going to figure out that it was actually my sentient Buddy Hield statue who…
Read MoreDante Exum 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
If Dante Exum turns out never to be a star or even close to a star like most people expected when he was drafted, that will be a damn shame. For most people, the “shame” part will be that we missed out on what could have been a special player. For me, the “shame” part…
Read MoreQuinn Cook 17 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
Right now I’m feeling sad because Quinn Cook is hitting all these pull-up midrange jimbos and they’re very aesthetic in quality and he would be a perfect subject for a midrange-ilation, but he’s only been getting consistent minutes within which to hit these shots for, like, fifteen games. If he had been doing this all…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 22 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
Thaddeus Young is one of those good players on a playoff team who you never, ever hear anything about, ever. No articles, no tweets, no social media antics, maybe something in some rinky-dink local media outfit but who cares, and definitely no Zach Lowe. I could be wrong about that last one, because I lost…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 16 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2018)
I need to write an app or something (or have someone else write it for me) that automatically subtracts points scored in the last however many minutes in blowout games from player point totals in the NBA boxscores. I need to do this because I am sick, and I am tired, of embarking on what…
