With this seven three-pointer performance, Eric Gordon moves into first place in the NBA for threes made, with 112. Remember, this is an NBA with a healthy Stephen Curry playing in it. This isn’t some other NBA where Stephen Curry, who is going to go down as the best three-ball shooter of all time, isn’t…

Ryan Anderson 28 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/17/2016)
Someone tell me why Ryan Anderson isn’t averaging 20 points a game this season. He’s on the ROCKETS, for Christ’s sake! The Rockets with MIKE D’ANTONI as head coach! That’s the perfect storm for a three-point chucker to chuck as many three-pointers as he wants without any repercussions. But here we are, a third of…

Listen to what the commentator says after the basket at 0:48 of this video. Just listen. “That’s Rocket basketball right there!” Seem weird to you? At least from my point of view it doesn’t seem like the kind of thing you say during a game where the Rockets shot and made the most three-pointers ever…
Read MoreSam Dekker 19 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2016)
It seems like all I heard about Sam Dekker while he was playing at Wisconsin was how he couldn’t shoot, or how they wished he would shoot better, or why he wasn’t shooting it more, or why he wasn’t shooting it less. I don’t think I ever heard anything good about him, that’s for sure….
Read MoreEric Gordon 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/12/2016)
Eric Gordon is currently third in three-point percentage out of players who have attempted more than 100 threes. C.J. McCollum and Kyle Lowry are ahead of him; Patty Mills is basically tied and J.J. Redick is right behind. So, it is fair to officially say that, officially, with Gordon’s official current percentage of 43.9%, Gordon…
Read MoreEric Gordon 26 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (12/7/2016)
Quietly, Eric Gordon has become one of the very best three-point shooters in the league. Right now, I’d put him behind Stephen Curry and then… maybe also Klay Thompson? But that’s it. Definitely top three, maybe top two. For Eric Gordon. I considered him done after all those injuries, but here is, canning threes with…
Read MoreSam Dekker 17 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
DownToBuck as a rule does not divulge too much personal information about himself. The main two things that have been established are that I am white and I am from Wisconsin. Imagine my delight when I discovered that I would be able to make a highlight video featuring someone similarly pigmented and with a like…
Read MoreRyan Anderson 29 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2016)
In this episode of DTB’s Honesty Hour, where DTB sits in front down with his fans and only tells plain facts unmolested by lies or deceit, we’re going to talk about Ryan Anderson. Specifically, how good Ryan Anderson is supposed to be in the mystical D’Antoni system. Remember, this is Honesty Hour, so I’m going…
Read MoreEric Gordon 24 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2016)
Eric Gordon banks in a three in this video. That alone should disqualify him from ever being considered a good player ever again. Ever. And it’s not like it was a heave or an off-balance shot; he just squared up from the top of the three-point line and chucked it about a foot too far….
Read MoreClint Capela Career High 21 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (11/27/2016)
Clint Capela smiled as he talked into the phone. “Hey Dwight. I’m calling again even though you told me not to.” “Dude, give it up,” Dwight said in exasperation. “You’re rid of me. I’m not on the Rockets anymore to take your minutes or whatever weird conspiracy you’ve come up with.” “Oh, I’m past all…
