Trevor Ariza 24 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2016)

I haven’t made Trevor Ariza highlights up until this point. You may think that this a failure on DownToBuck’s end; that DownToBuck is purposely withholding highlights for some nonsensical reason. However, let it be known that any fault here lies squarely upon Trevor Ariza, and Trevor Ariza alone. Here’s a little tidbit that will illuminate…

Donatas Motiejunas 19 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2015)

I made a lot of sick highlight videos last year. A LOT. I also made some not-so-sick highlight videos, which have been now, appropriately, forgotten to the relentless march of time. Lost to all but the most ardent basketball historians, these videos will slowly decay into component bits and bytes, until, in hundreds of years,…

Corey Brewer 22 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2015)

DownToBuck is known for writing a lot of crap in these description boxes. Lots of it. A never-ending torrent of it. Which means, sometimes, simply by the laws of averages or something, he’ll end up being right sometimes! Like when he wrote these words near the beginning of Corey Brewer’s tenure with the Rockets: “Rockets…

Marcus Thornton 32 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2015)

Marcus Thornton is always good for one of these random super-hot games per season, it seems. Usually bookended by lots of single-digit scoring nights and straight up DNP-CDs. This is that game for Marcus. He will now, regretfully, be not that good for the rest of the year, just as he was not that good…

Clint Capela 18 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2015)

Clint Capela and Dwight Howard, in the midst of a rather vehement disagreement, approached their interim head coach, J.B. Bickerstaff. “Coach, Clint’s being a dummy. Tell him to stop being so dumb!” Dwight whined. J.B. sighed. This was not the first time in his short coaching stint that he had dealt with his team’s childish…

Clint Capela 16 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2015)

Conspiracy theory time: Kevin McHale didn’t get fired because he was winning too few games, he got fired because he was turning too many losses into wins through his above-average coaching. Morey realized that this year is not the Rockets’ year. He knows what it takes to succeed in the NBA, and he decided, correctly,…

Terrence Jones 23 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2015)

So, this is it. This is my fate. Cursed to make “Terrence Jones 23 Points Full Highlights” videos until my failing lungs push my last rattling breath through my gasping, toothless mouth. So it was yesterday, so it is today, so it will be tomorrow. Or the day after, depending on when the Rockets next…

Jason Terry 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/14/2015)

Jason Terry sat across the table from the old man. “One more year. That’s all I’m asking from you. One more year.” The old man retrieved a pocketwatch from his robe. He observed it for a long time. The only movement was the ticking of the second hand and the imperceptible progression of the hour…

Terrence Jones 23 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2015)

There must be something wrong with the Rockets. Currently at 4-5, they’re not meeting preseason expectations, or any expectations really. Terrence Jones is a certified baller so there must be other factors at play. -Harden has regressed. Two words: beard rot -Howard shows up to games about half the time. The other half he goes…

Marcus Thornton 21 Points Rocket Debut Full Highlights (11/1/2015)

The Rockets commentators were so happy during the first half of this game, I’m actually glad that I didn’t have to keep listening to them when they had given up their double-digit lead and gone down by double-digits themselves. They were so excited by Marcus Thornton’s apparent scoring prowess that their commentary in the second…
