It’s good to see that Dwight Powell is building some chemistry with Luka Doncic. Or maybe it’s more the other way around, with Doncic building the chemistry with Powell, since Powell is more of a chemistry receiver than a chemistry creator. In any case, it’s clear that whatever marginal success that the Mavericks were going…

Luka Doncic Triple Double 28 Pts/10 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
Luka Doncic is a Euro rookie, so maybe he gets a little bit of a pass on this one, but someone needs to tell him and I’ll be the one to do it: Luka, you smile WAY too much on the court. This is the NBA. We take this seriously. The game is meant to…
Read MoreDirk Nowitzki 15 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
There are 23 games left in the regular season. Dirk Nowitzki needs 92 points to pass Wilt Chamberlain and secure 6th place in the career point total leaderboard (he also needs 191 to pass LeBron again, assuming LeBron dies right now and doesn’t rise again on the third day). The question on everybody’s minds: can…
Read MoreTrey Burke 20 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)
Everyone knows that DownToBuck cannot resist a heaping platter of REVENGE, served cold. So when I saw that Trey Burke had 20 against the team that draft-and-dumped him, I was salivating. Some other videos had to get done first, and I’m sorry about that, but they were all just a prelude to the devastation that…
Read MoreDwight Powell 20 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
Over the offseason, Dwight Powell came up with a (pretty decent, in my mind) plan to get DeAndre Jordan off the Mavericks. It involved serving Jordan a chocolate cake laced with marijuana that would cause Jordan to fail the routine drug test that’s part of his physical. The plan didn’t go according to plan because…
Read MoreJalen Brunson 22 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
First off: I’m really sorry to the handful of you viewers out there who saw this video posted as “Jaylen Brunson” highlights. There are just way too many Jaylen/Jalen/Jaelynnes out there for me to be expected to keep track of them all. For the record, when I made the mistake in the video title I…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 21 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/11/2019)
Luka Doncic has taken the next step in his evolution as a basketball player. Most players, they never take this step, and if they do, it takes them several years of NBA experience before taking it. The step I’m talking about is the “put up good numbers while having a not-so-good game” step. This is…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 28 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/10/2019)
“Hey Dave.” Dave, one of the Dallas Mavericks’ lead nutritionists and the formulator of all the players’ individualized meal plans, looked up from his computer to see Luka Doncic standing in front of his desk. “Hey Luka. It’s cool that a star like you can lower yourself to associate with us commoners,” he joked. “I…
Read MoreTrey Burke 18 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2019)
I am considering this game to be Trey “Treyburkulosis” Burke’s debut with the Mavericks. He only played four minutes in his “real” debut, which isn’t really enough time to start even thinking about making a shot. There’s no point playing a player you just acquired so few minutes, so I’m choosing to believe that it…
Read MoreDorian Finney-Smith 15 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (2/6/2019)
Fifteen points might not seem like a whole heck of a lot for a guy who has now been an established role-player on the Mavericks for three seasons. However, if you actually bother to look up his game logs, you would see that fifteen points is the third-highest scoring game of Dorian Finney-Smith’s career. (I…
