Nick Young 26 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2017)

On this night of insane statlines (Draymond Green still counts as a role-player, right, RIGHT?), it would have been nice to see Nick Young drop 40. He was well on his way, with 23 early in the third quarter, but then, I don’t know, he stopped scoring or something. You think I was watching? After…

Ivica Zubac 15 Points Full Highlights (2/10/2017)

OFFICIAL NBA PLAYERS POWER RANKINGS* 1. Alex Abrines 2. Quincy Acy 3. Steven Adams 4. Aaron Afflalo 5. Alexis Ajinca —POWER GAP— 408. Down ToBuck —POWEREST GAP— 459. Paul Zipser 460. Ivica Zubac Sorry Lakers fans, this official ranking of NBA players doesn’t look good for your man Ivica Zubac. Nothing to be done about…

Brandon Ingram 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2017)

Alright. This is good. Everyone calm down. This is something you can build off of. He’s not a bust yet! 15 points on 6 of 10 shooting, that’s something that a normal non-bust player would do. 5 dimes, a couple of them to Tarik Black which increases their value. A dime to Black is not…

Ivica Zubac 10 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/6/2017)

Man, you gotta feel for Timofey Mozgov. He goes from not playing on a really good team because the team is too good to play him, to not playing on a really bad team because the team is too bad to play him. Maybe that sounds like I’m saying Mozgov would make the Lakers better,…

Brandon Ingram 14 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2017)

“Hack-a-Ingram” is officially a thing. Note: it’s not “Hack-an-Ingram” because that just sounds weird. “Hack-a-Ingram” is the official name for the thing that officially happened to Brandon Ingram tonight. This isn’t a good sign, when your supposed sweet-shooting prospect is getting purposefully fouled because he has trouble making free throws. He made them both in…

Larry Nance Jr. 18 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2017)

I’m going to be forthright with you all: this video contains three dunks, but it contains zero DUNKS. You know what I’m talking about. With Larry Nance Jr., there are two types of dunks: there are dunks, and then there are DUNKS. This video has all of the former and none of the latter. You’ve…

Brandon Ingram 14 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2017)

https://www.youtube.com/user/DownToBuck/videos Man, Hubie Brown was going IN on Brandon Ingram tonight. Aren’t these national commentators supposed to be as positive and nurturing as possible when it comes to underperforming players? I couldn’t believe my ears, some of the things I was hearing. I was expecting stuff like “he’s young, but give the guy some credit,…

Tarik Black 13 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2017)

Tarik Black would definitely rank very highly on a theoretical “NBA Players You Don’t Wanna Mess With” power rankings, were I to make such a power rankings. His listed position is center but he’s only 6’9″, so you know he’s developed a lot of toughness due to constantly battling dudes taller than him. Plus, you…

D’Angelo Russell 17 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (2/2/2017)

As far as I can tell, this is the first game of D’Angelo Russell’s career where he had a high total of assists while not riding a ridiculously hot three-point shooter. Sweet! Now this is something I can get behind. 11 assists, a career high, and not all of them were to Nick Young! Some…

D’Angelo Russell 22 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/31/2017)

This is a milestone for D’Angelo Russell: his first game with double-digit assists. If humans evolved to have four fingers on each hand instead of five, or counted the spaces between their five fingers instead of the fingers themselves, he’d have gotten double-digit assists a couple times by now. But that’s neither here nor there….
