Maxi Kleber 11 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)

This video gets off to a bad start when one of those dopes that ESPN employs to commentate games said “Kebler” instead of “Kleber”. At least he didn’t say “Keebler”, like the brand of cookies, but still, you gotta put some respeck on that name. Maximillian “The Wurzburg Wiener” Kleber, as a player, is basically…

Dennis Smith Jr. 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/25/2017)

I don’t really get the impression that the Mavericks have a “core” of players that they are definitely trying to build around long-term. A “core” has to include at least three players. That is the minimum amount for a core. A player is disqualified from being part of the core if they are older than…

Dennis Smith Jr. 16 Points/10 Assists Mavericks Debut Full Highlights (10/18/2017)

You know, I kind of thought, deep in the cockles of my heart, that Dennis Smith Jr. was maybe getting a little bit overrated by not only Mavericks fans, but by the entire NBA cognoscenti. Not super overrated, mind you, but enough that I kept thinking “who are these people who keep thinking that a…

Nicolas Brussino 15 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

Nicolas Brussino probably needs to work on some things in the off-season. His shot is there, the passing is there, but the consistency isn’t. I’ll let Mavs fans and Argentinians worry about those things, though. I’m not a player development coach. I’m just concerned about one major thing: Nico’s ability to grow facial hair. A…

Nicolas Brussino 11 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Nicolas Brussino has certainly showed some flashes of skill in his rookie season. He can shoot sometimes and lately he’s been passing a little bit too. He went undrafted just like me so there weren’t a ton of expectations placed on him, other than me expecting that he would be the next Carlos Delfino on…

Yogi Ferrell 21 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Believe me or don’t, but this is Yogi Ferrell’s second-best scoring game after that 9-triple outburst he had on national TV. That game really messed with people’s perceptions of him, maybe irreversibly. And who can blame them? Unless you’re a Mavs fan or a ravenous highlights-consumer or a fantasy-fanatic, literally the only thing you’ve seen…

Jarrod Uthoff 12 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Several months of highlights, over 1500 vids worth, featuring endless career-highs and season-highs and actually mostly just a whole bunch of crap, it’s all been leading up to this. Jarrod Uthoff scoring 12 points in the NBA. This is why DownToBuck exists. Do you feel it? The feeling of a brand-new scrub asserting himself in…

Dwight Powell Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Dwight “Dwight Power” Powell, as the season had gone along, has been attempting to make the difficult transition from “big guy who can only dunk” to “big who can dunk but also shoot long jumpers”. Until tonight, I wouldn’t say that his attempts had been met with much success. He could hit the jumper, sometimes,…

Nicolas Brussino 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/4/2017)

The Mavericks, in all their tanking glory, just ran a lineup with Nicolas Brussino as the point guard for a big chunk of the fourth quarter tonight. Him being the PG probably wasn’t even the biggest detriment to the lineup: that would be Jarrod Uthoff and A.J. Hammons. They ended up losing, of course. Can’t…

J.J. Barea 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/19/2017)

Now that J.J. Barea is back in the lineup, there’s no need for the Mavericks to continue cycling through D-League point guards on ten-days. A point guard rotation of Barea/Ferrell/Harris kind of sucks a lot, but it at least has guys who can play enough minutes where you don’t need to go out and grab…
