Ralph Sampson 24 Points/22 Rebounds Full Highlights (6/1/1986)

Tonight in the latest episode of “What If with DownToBuck”, we analyze one of the most enigmatic talents of the last 50 years, Ralph Sampson. Tonight’s What If: What if Ralph Sampson had not developed the chronic knee problems that derailed his career? First off, it’s not exactly a surprise that Sampson had exploding knees….

Mitchell Wiggins 18 Points Full Highlights (2/1/1990)

It turns out that the summer was getting kind of long over here in DTB-land. Is there always such a long break between summer league and preseason? Damn. I was kind of losing my marbles a little bit, you know, with nothing to do but stare at my wall and wait for basketball to come…

Jason Terry 16 Points Full Highlights (5/27/2015)

Jason Terry, with the rest of his Rockets teammates, sat morosely in the locker room, not speaking. They knew that this was the end of their season. How could they forget? The time had now come. With no more basketball left to be played, there was no reason to postpone the inevitable. Grabbing the white…

Clint Capela 9 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (5/19/2015)

Clint Capela vs Festus Ezeli. Who ya got? A difficult question to be sure. Let me help you in your pursuit of the correct answer (Yes, there is a correct answer. This is not a matter of opinion). Clint Capela: just turned 21, which means that he can now legally imbibe alcohols and also has…

Trevor Ariza 20 Points Full Highlights (5/19/2015)

Earlier in the season I said some bad stuff about Trevor Ariza. Some stuff about contract years and shooting below 40% from the field and maybe even some worse stuff. All of those words were typed in anger. But I’m not going to take any of it back. Trevor Ariza has, in his own way,…

Donatas Motiejunas All 150 Post Moves Full Highlights (2014-2015 Season Post Move-ilation Part II)

The Schaub Memorial Orphanage was dark. Donatas walked the silent halls, halls which had been decorated by the children’s artwork. It was a much more modern place than the orphanage in Lithuania had been. There were just two children in each room, instead of twenty or thirty. There was no fireplace, and even if there…

Donatas Motiejunas All 150 Post Moves Full Highlights (2014-2015 Season Post Move-ilation Part I)

“I would now like to bring up to the podium Mr. Donatas Motiejunas, the new honorary director of the Schaub Memorial Orphanage!” To a rousing chorus of applause, Donatas sheepishly got up from his seat and walked up to the front. His dream was coming true. When he got to the podium and squinted through…

Clint Capela 8 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (5/12/2015)

This has been a tough series on Rockets fans, emotionally. After the game 4 loss where their team showed almost no resistance, they seemed ready to schlepp off to South America and drink cyanide-laced Kool-Aid in the Guyanese rainforest. It seemed a forgone conclusion that their favored team would lose the series, so why prolong…

Trevor Ariza 22 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (5/12/2015)

Trevor Ariza sat at his locker before the game. He thought about all the fans out there who wanted to see the Rockets win, not just this game but the whole series against the Clippers. But he knew it would be hard, and he tried to get himself in the zone. James Harden walked up…
