https://youtu.be/4T7ymSI6DS4 Dwight Powell hasn’t been as good this season as he has been in the past. It would be extremely easy to blame his regression on the Achilles injury he suffered last season. I can easily imagine the so-called “experts” at ESPN claiming such a thing. But DownToBuck is not content with superficial explanations like…

Dwight Powell 21 Points/0 Missed Field Goals Full Highlights (1/14/2020)
With reverence, I recover the sacred stone tablet from underneath my bed. Fashioned from a slab of solid, indestructible rock, this tablet serves as a record of all those in the recent past who have made many field goals in an NBA game without missing one. As I hold it, I feel the significance of…

Dwight Powell is one of those players where their perception among their team’s fans and their supposed impact (as suggested by advanced stats) don’t quite match up. Mavericks fans don’t even like him that much. They don’t hate him, and they appreciate what he does for the team, but they are also very aware of…
Read MoreDwight Powell 24 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2019)
Dwight Powell had it rolling, scoring 24 points in the first three quarters of this game. He conclusively showed that KAT stands for “Kan’t Actually Tryondefense”. Not only did Powell terrorize the Timberpuppies with his scoring prowess, but his statline was overflowing with other stats that I was too lazy to show in this video:…

The lob connection between Dwight Powell and Luka Doncic grows stronger by the game. Doncic hasn’t quite mastered the art of putting the ball where Powell can really reach back and slam it hard, preferring to leave it right next to the rim (probably practiced too much with Dirk) so that anyone could dunk it….

Okay, I just for my last Maxi Kleber video made a list of possible Dirk replacements for the Mavs, in the event that Dirk retires which I absolutely do not believe but that’s neither here nor there. So I made a big list, but I forgot one of the most promising Dirk-esque players on Dallas’…

Just letting Kristaps Porzingis know, if he’s planning to come into next season and start taking minutes from Dwight Powell, he’d be well served to stop those plans and instead plan to take minutes from other players. Because no one messes with Powell’s minutes on my watch and gets away with it. They’re already too…
Read MoreDwight Powell Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
While expertly editing (actually, I prefer the term “composing”) this Dwight Powell highlights package for the consumption of the drooling YouTube hordes, I couldn’t help but wonder: is the pronunciation of Dwight a dialectical thing? The main Mavs commentator always calls him “Duh-Wight”. Meanwhile, I just call him “Dwite”. When Dwight Howard was still alive…
Read MoreDwight Powell 20 Points/6 Assists/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/4/2019)
This is a career high for Dwight Powell in the “assists” category. I put that in quotes because the first five of these assists range between “barely passable” (get it, passable????? hahahahah) and “Jokic-esque BS handoff that should never be an assist”. Luckily the final one is a nice spinning drop off to a Dorian…
Read MoreDwight Powell 24 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
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…
