Here’s what I wrote when John Collins scored 24 points 2 games ago: “I’m willing to bet on the inevitability of a John Collins thirty-pointer if there is anybody out there stupid enough to take the other end of the bet. The terms are simple: John Collins. Thirty points. By the end of the season….

John Collins Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
DownToBuck is facing a trifecta of issues right now that may affect highlight uploadment tonight. The universe is conspiring against him and his agenda to free the role-players of the NBA from the cloaking blanket of obscurity by shining spotlights in their direction. Issue one: the people ahead of me in the drive through at…
Read MoreTrae Young 20 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2018)
It’s a good thing that Trae Young can kinda finish around the rim, because otherwise he’d be averaging, by my calculations, approximately 0 points per game. I wanted a puffy-haired version of Stephen Curry, not… whatever we got. So, yeah, the presumably hyped-up Curry-Young matchup was kind of a bust. Young scored a bunch of…
Read MoreJohn Collins 24 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2018)
This was a career high for John “The Baptist” Collins, but I didn’t bother to note the fact in the title of this video. Why? Because I am convinced that, by the time this season is over, he will have scored thirty points in a single contest, making 24 points seem like worthless, unnotable garbage…
Read MoreJohn Collins 19 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
You can tell that Hawks commentator Dominique Wilkins is a little bit agitated with John Collins’ role on the team. Multiple times in this video he opines that Collins needs more touches and needs to be emphasized more in the offense overall. The impact of that statement isn’t as hard-hitting given that Collins was tied…
Read MoreAlex Len 19 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (11/30/2018)
Alex Len has valiantly attempted to remain NBA-relevant by adding a three-point shot to his game this year. He sort of had one last year (wait, two years ago, and I’m totally exaggerating because he only shot 12 the whole season), but it seems like he’s being encouraged to shoot it a bit more with…
Read MoreTrae Young 17 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
It’s not a good thing when 4 games out of 20 account for two-thirds (20 out of 30) of your made three-pointers. We’re talking about Trae Young, of course, and I just can’t wait to diss him over and over again for being a chucky brickmaster these last few games. I actually like this dude….
Read MoreDeAndre’ Bembry 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/25/2018)
Let’s just get the truth out there for everybody to see: this video depicts the best game that DeAndre’ “Extraneous Apostrophe” Bembry has had in his professional career. Sixteen points, a career high, on efficiency that is relatively unheard of for Bembry (seven of ten from the floor). Not only did Bembry have his best…
Read MoreJohn Collins 23 Points/1 Block Full Highlights (11/25/2018)
Unstoppable force versus immovable object: can the Hawks’ tank, which never lets them win a game, be stopped by the Hornets’ total inability to win close games? We found out our answer tonight: the Hornets’ end-of-game brick stopped the Hawks’ tank dead in its tracks. Oh well, Hawks. Better luck next time. The Hawks could’ve…
Read MoreDeAndre’ Bembry 14 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/23/2018)
Two very notable things happened in this game. Notable thing one: DeAndre’ Bembry achieved the coveted “Scrub by Five” by recording two or more of each of the following stats: points (14), rebounds (7), assists (4), steals (2), and blocks (4). That’s a lot of stats for a guy like Bembry, who is not known…
