The league has really been feeling the lack of AJ’s since A.J. Price washed out two years ago. It has also been feeling the lack of Purdue Boilermakers, with only E’Twaun Moore carrying that torch before A.J. Hammons showed up out of nowhere to put some mega amounts of hurt on the Warrior’s third-stringers. Now…
Read MoreJared Dudley 19 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
“Dear DTB, I would greatly appreciate it if you could refrain from insulting my weight in your video descriptions this season. I know I have not had much on-court impact yet, but my recent nineteen-point game deserves respect, respect that is erased when you repeatedly demean me for my alleged fatness. I am not fat….
Read MoreRobert Covington 23 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
Robert Covington is who comes up when you type “slow start” into the Googles. Check out these three-point shooting lines from the first few games of the season: 0 of 4, 0 of 5, 2 of 8, 1 of 9. Those lines are pretty awful, awful enough where you could make a case that if…
Read MoreDario Saric 14 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
Who in Croatia even cares about Mario Hezonja right now? Do his parents even care about him? I can imagine Hezonja’s dad sitting in his living room in Croatia, watching shady internet streams of 76ers games at four in the morning, getting hyped every time Saric does something good on the court. I can imagine…
Read MoreJake Layman 9 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
Jake Layman had easily located the home locker room in the Staples Center. By pretending to be a new member of the Clippers’ training staff who had gotten lost in the arena, a security guard had given him step-by-step directions. Now, he pushed open the door and went inside. The main locker area was empty,…
Read MoreJustin Hamilton Career High 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
I’m going to just go ahead and put “Career High” in the title of this video even though it’s obvious, by this point, that’s Justin Hamilton is going to score 30 at some point this season, rendering this video no longer a depiction of his true career-high in NBA points. I don’t care. It’s a…
Read MoreZach LaVine Career High 37 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
Does anyone else remember that pre-draft workout video where Zach LaVine was practicing his stepback jumpers, and they were all totally blatant travels? Just wondering, because these were the most ridiculous travels ever, like, did no coach ever pull him aside and say “what are you doing out there you’re walking all over the place!”?…
Read MoreThabo Sefolosha 20 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
Thabo Sefolosha: roiding or nah? Here are the facts: he’s scoring at a rate not seen from him since his first few years in Chicago. He’s doing this scoring at the age of 32. He just put major hurt on the Bulls to the tune of 18 points in 6 minutes. Steroids are easily acquirable…
Read MoreWilly Hernangomez 14 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
I have an ongoing (for not much longer) bet with my local bookie on who DownToBuck will make highlights for first: Juancho Hernangomez or Willy Hernangomez. I put 5000 smackers on Willy on 2-to-3 odds. I could have angled for better odds, but I don’t want to bite the hand that feeds. That’s wise wisdom…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 27 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2016)
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has a really sweet-looking jumper. It doesn’t go in an extraordinarily large amount of the time, but it still looks absolutely perfect. Even his bricks have a certain aesthetic quality to them. See that above paragraph, Pistons fans? See that? That means I don’t hate KCP, and I don’t hate the Pistons or…
