It did cross my mind that I needed to punish Luka Doncic for going 5-of-20 from the field in this game. Not only did it cross my mind, but it stayed on my mind, and I dwelled on it for some time. I even withdrew into my little-used “highlights hermitage”, which is located high up…

Ryan Broekhoff 12 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2019)
Hopes were high for Ryan Broekhoff to set a new career high after scoring 12 points in about 5 minutes of game-time. At least, my hopes were high. I don’t know how time zones work, but I’m assuming that any Australians who would have a vested interest in him succeeding were asleep. But I was…

Luka Doncic paced impatiently in the hallway in front of the locker room door. The team bus was going to leave for the airport soon, but his food delivery from GrubHub hadn’t arrived yet. After checking the time on his phone for the tenth time in the past five minutes, he glanced up and saw…
Read MoreDirk Nowitzki 14 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2019)
It took a long time, a really long time, almost two whole decades worth of time, but Dirk Nowitzki is finally slowing down. Last year he looked like he could go for a few more seasons, he wasn’t amazing or anything (unless you consider his age), but he was still good. Now, I feel like…

Attention Wojarooski: you have to wait until DownToBuck is done uploading videos for the day before breaking the news of a blockbuster trade involving many good players. Otherwise we find ourselves in the awful situation we currently find ourselves in: a video getting uploaded for a player who is no longer on the team depicted…
Read MoreLuka Doncic Triple Double 35 Pts/12 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (1/27/2019)
The mood in the locker room was subdued after the loss. Even though his teammates had been telling him that he had played a good game, Luka Doncic wasn’t convinced that the loss wasn’t somehow his fault. Trying to think of something that would lift his spirits, Luka’s mind landed on his trip to Taco…

“What did you say this place was called again?” Luka asked, looking around curiously at the restaurant’s decor, which seemed like it had been ripped straight out of the 90’s. He shifted his legs uncomfortably in the too-small plastic booth, then decided to prop them up on the seat opposite him for maximum comfort. “Taco…

After the untimely death of one Jose Juan “J.J.” Barea, the more casual members of the NBA fandom may have wondered to themselves “who on the Mavs roster could possibly step in to fill the small-statured, but big-hearted hole that Barea’s departure has left in the team?” However, the more erudite NBA fan will have…
Read MoreLuka Doncic Triple Double 18 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
Luka Doncic is now the second-youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double. He is 10 days older at the time of the triple-double than Markelle Fultz was. Now, I’m just saying, if Thon Maker can pretend to be like three or four full years younger than he actually is, it shouldn’t be too…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/16/2019)
This game marks a very important milestone for Luka “Lukadris” Doncic. No, not that he became the first rookie since Steph Curry to score 25 points in five consecutive games, although that is a fun and cool stat (one could even call it a “fun fact”). No, the real milestone is that Doncic had a…
