Kyle Kuzma – DownToBuck

Kyle Kuzma 39 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2019)

Your old pal DownToBuck has a long history of suffering medical conditions when something cool is happening in the NBA. Most commonly I am afflicted by an elevated BHL (Blood Hype Level). All it takes is a player to score a bunch of points in a short amount of time and my BHL spikes. Symptoms…

Kyle Kuzma 25 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2019)

Who even wants Anthony Davis? Not the Lakers, not the Pelicans, nobody. Maybe, MAYBE, the Celtics, but only because they lost to a chemistry-deprived and still-worried-about-getting-traded Lakers squad. AD is the unwanted man in the NBA. Personally, I would only take him on the Bucks if it was a straight swap for Thon Mak… oh…

Kyle Kuzma 32 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2019)

New rule: when an NBA player scores more than 16 points in a first quarter and doesn’t end up with 40 for the game, they get sent back down to the G-League immediately at the conclusion of the game. While they’re there, they’re getting real G-League checks, barely any money at all, while the money…

Kyle Kuzma 32 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/17/2019)

Imagine how mad LeBron would be if, in addition to Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball being underwhelming components of the Lakers’ young core, Kyle Kuzma where also an underwhelming component of the core. He would probably demand a trade to the Pacers so he could win uncontested championships in the East with little to no…

Kyle Kuzma 29 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2019)

The Lakers just lost to the Cavaliers (something that should never, ever happen), but whoever you blame, it shouldn’t be Kyle Kuzma. He had eighteen points in the fourth quarter. While his teammates choked and floundered, Kuzma was a steady and confident scorer who had to put the team on his back. Among the teammates…

Kyle Kuzma Career High 41 Points Full Highlights (1/9/2019)

This game was totally a REVENGE GAME for Kyle Kuzma. But it wasn’t revenge against a former team that he has played for. No, it was revenge against the favored team of his childhood growing up in Flint, Michigan, the Detroit Pistons. “Wait a minute, Dee Tee Bee,” you howl in bewilderment. “Why would Kuz…

Kyle Kuzma 33 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2018)

Wow, what a brutal loss for the Lakers. Kyle Kuzma did his part by hitting a few clutch buckets, and also did his part for the Kings by fouling a three-point shooter with a minute left (I didn’t see the clip, but I bet he looked SO incredulous), but on the whole, he was not…

Kyle Kuzma 24 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2018)

If LeBron can take this Lakers team to the Finals (which would be a miracle, but bear with me), people will talk about it like those Cavs teams he dragged to the finish line early in his career. “Yeah, MJ was great, but LeBron took a team with Kyle Kuzma as the second best player…

Kyle Kuzma 33 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2018)

The question of “is LeBron holding Kyle Kuzma back” can now be definitively answered, and the answer is a definitive “no”. In a similar amount of minutes as last season, Kuzma is scoring more points, more efficiently. We are seeing right now how a player like Tristan Thompson was being held back by LeBron, and…

Kyle Kuzma 27 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

By my (biased) count, out of Kyle Kuzma’s twelve made field goals, eight of them were floaters. Some of them were more like hook shots than floaters, but the way he shoots them is like a hybrid of both, so I counted them. And, honestly eight floaters is just way too many floaters for me…
