A mere four days ago I wrote these words in the description of a Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk highlight video: “Is it wrong of me to feel like these middling scoring performances from Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk are no longer exciting me?” That sentiment still holds true today, except I have moved from simple boredom with Mykhailiuk’s underwhelming scoring…

Sekou Doumbouya 10 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (1/2/2020)
OFFICIAL REASONS TO MAKE THIS VIDEO POWER RANKINGS 1. Sekou Doumbouya is a fun name to say and to spell 2. Pistons fans have attached all of their hopes, literally all of their hopes, to this guy for some reason 3. Doumbouya had two dunks 4. As the Pistons broadcast helpfully reminded us, Doumbouya is…

Is it wrong of me to feel like these middling scoring performances from Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk are no longer exciting me? Sure, this game ties a career high in points, and sets a new career high in field goals with six, but, still…it’s just fifteen points. It’s not a crime to want a role-player who apparently…
Read MoreTim Frazier 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/26/2019)
I insinuated in a previous description that Tim Frazier was never actually good and was only putting up good stats because he was getting tons of playing time on bad teams that had no other choice at the point guard position. I actually didn’t just insinuate it: I said it straight up. And for that,…
Read MoreChristian Wood 22 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2019)
The state of scoring on the Pistons isn’t super great right now. They have a bunch of players (as do most other NBA teams), but none of them are really what you’d call a “first option” at this point, either because of injury or because of their general lack of scoring skill. -Andre Drummond: can…
Read MoreSviatoslav Mykhailiuk 13 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)
This highlight video of Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk hitting four three-pointers compares favorably to a classic DownToBuck highlight video which only true DTB acolytes will remember: Chris Johnson 12 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (1/28/2014). You don’t get to watch it because my whole entire old channel got deleted (god damn it), but I still have access to…
Read MoreTim Frazier 13 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I had an irrational bordering on rational attachment to Tim Frazier for the short amount of time he was on the Bucks. When he got cut after pre-season, I shed a single solitary manly tear. A tear of sadness. When he got signed by the Bucks after the Pelicans unwisely waived him, I shed a…
Read MoreMarkieff Morris 23 Points/7 Threes/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/21/2019)
I know what question you are asking to yourself right now, and no, this is not Markieff Morris’ career high in assists. He’s had multiple (is “multiple” too strong a word when the number is actually just two?) eight-assist games. It’s surprising, but a guy who is willing to have the ball as much as…
Read MoreThon Maker 15 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2019)
Remember when Kevin Garnett stated (with seeming confidence) that Thon Maker would be an MVP one day? Why the heck would he say something like that? I know that being an all-time great doesn’t automatically give your basketball-related opinions any credence (see Magic Johnson), but it should at least give you enough awareness that you…
Read MoreBruce Brown 20 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)
Bruce Brown was basically useless on offense last year. He started a whole bunch of games for the Pistons as a second-round rookie, which is actually pretty cool and a nice accomplishment (not even being sarcastic right now), but he didn’t DO anything. He played defense, which is technically something as opposed to nothing, but…
