If Alex Len doesn’t watch out, he’s going to find his title of “Best Ukrainian in the NBA” taken away from him by Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk. He’s still got the lead by a fair amount, but Mykhailiuk (who has a way more Ukrainian-sounding name, by the way) is trending decidedly upward, while Len is trending in…

Damian Jones Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
If you’ve ever pondered the question “what is the most points a player with no basketball skills could so score in an NBA game?”, well, tonight you are slightly closer to an answer. The lower bound for that number is 20, because we just saw “NBA player” Damian Jones score that many tonight. Now that…
Read MoreCam Reddish 25 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
True DTB veterans will remember the early days of my channel, where I had way less of a filter for my criticism of players. You think I’m bad now? These days I temper all my honest criticism with soft words like “but” and “maybe” and “I don’t know” so that fanbases don’t turn on me…
Read MoreDe’Andre Hunter 18 Points/1 Injury Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
As far as I can tell, the injury that De’Andre Hunter suffered tonight is a career-ender. Sorry to be so blunt about it, but that’s how I see it. Hunter left this game in the fourth quarter, clutching his hand, and he didn’t return. And since the injury, he hasn’t played in a SINGLE game….
Read MoreDamian Jones Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
The early results of the Hawks’ “Damian Jones as starting center” experiment were good. In his first game as a starter, the Hawks beat the Nuggets and I assume Jones just absolutely manhandled Nikola Jokic with his superior athleticism and movement abilities. After that success, though, the experiment kind of went off the rails. Perhaps…
Read MoreJabari Parker 33 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
The way Jabari Parker played to start this game, I thought that he was going to score 50 for sure. If not more. 25 points in the first half, and I honestly believed that he was going to accelerate that scoring pace in the second half. He knew that he could get whatever he wanted,…
Read MoreBruno Fernando 13 Points Full Highlights (11/25/2019)
DownToBuck presents himself as the ultimate collection of NBA knowledge, a veritable walking encyclopedia on all matters of the league. His expertise and wisdom are unimpeachable. His reputation of devotion to factual accuracy is widely-known and widely-respected. So it may come as a disappointment to some of you out there, but I totally thought Bruno…
Read MoreJabari Parker 22 Points Full Highlights (11/25/2019)
The Hawks aren’t doing very well right now. 4 wins, 13 losses, and 2 of those wins came in the first 2 games of the season. They just keep losing. But who cares how the team is doing when you can care about individual stats? Coming into the season, it looked like it was going…
Read MoreDe’Andre Hunter 26 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/23/2019)
You know how annoying it is when a team is for sure going to lose a game but some jerk decides to keep hitting threes so that the game gets dragged out into infinity with free throws? Real annoying, for sure (especially when it actually results in a win like what Zach LaVine did to…
Read MoreDeAndre’ Bembry Career High 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/22/2019)
The fact that “Career High” adorns the title of this video is not going to be nearly enough to get people to actually watch it. For reasons that I can’t really discern, DeAndre’ Bembry has no fans to speak of. Didn’t he go to college? Normally, even the unpopular players have a small legion of…
