I don’t understand why the 76ers felt the need to try and destroy Nik Stauskas’ career by not playing him at the beginning of the season. He’s not great or amazing or anything, but isn’t another shooter just the thing to put around Embiid and Simmons? And not just any shooter, but a young shooter,…

Jarrett Allen 12 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2017)
I don’t understand how NBA players can perform when their parents are in attendance. Don’t they get nervous? Knowing that they’re up there, judging everything you do, wishing you were doing better? I know, for me at least, I can’t do anything if my parents are watching. On one occasion when I had them over…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 18 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2017)
Astute viewers of this video may note that there is something missing from it: there are no lobs to Jarrett Allen! I basically only made this video because Caris LeVert had five assists, and I figured all of them would be alley-oops that Allen could crush through the hoop. Turns out I just wasted my…
Read MoreDeMarre Carroll 20 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)
DeMarre Carroll was quite clutch in the Nets overtime loss to the Pacers, but I can’t help but think about how much more awesome it would have been if he had been playing against the Raptors while doing his clutch things. Remember, Raptors fans will forever hate this guy for stealing money from the team…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie Career High 26 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2017)
What’s up with all these second/third-tier point guards getting career highs tonight? Spencer Dinwiddie, Dennis Schroder, Elfrid Payton, Austin Rivers. I only ask because those types of vids are about my least favorite to make. Mostly because they also rack up a bunch of assists, too many to ignore, when what I really want to…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 17 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
Yes, I know that Caris LeVert had three assists in this game, and yes, I know that one of them was an alley-oop to Jarrett Allen for the sweet stuff. The thing is, three assists is never enough to include in a DownToBuck-provided highlight video unless one of the assists is a no-look behind-the-back (or…
Read MoreRondae Hollis-Jefferson 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2017)
I’m struggling to decide whether Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has an attractive, chiseled-from-marble face or if it just looks like he got hit with a shovel several times over. Settling this issue once and for all will have the secondary benefit of providing a final determination on whether “Ronbae” is a good nickname for him or not….
Read MoreQuincy Acy 14 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (12/17/2017)
I was just talking about how Domantas Sabonis needs to start taking more threes, but Quincy Acy has the opposite problem: he takes too many threes. Way too many. Before tonight, he had made a grand total of SIX two-point shots over 400 minutes of gametime. That’s mindblowing, to me. You’re a forward! Haul your…
Read MoreNik Stauskas 22 Points/5 Threes Nets Debut Full Highlights (12/15/2017)
“Trust the Process!” slurs the drunken Philly resident, having just finished throwing snowballs at Santa and vomiting on little children. “Joel Embiid is my favorite player! Hinkie died for our sins! We traded Stauskas? Good!” he yells as he takes another swig from his flask, and makes sure the batteries he will use to pelt…
Read MoreRondae Hollis-Jefferson Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2017)
Both Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Spencer Dinwiddie ended up with career-highs tonight, and still the Nets lost. It would be easy for me to go “LOL Nets” and leave it at that, but tonight, we will find the real reason as to why never before seen performances by two of their most important players resulted in…
