Marcelo Huertas 10 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/7/2016)

I miss the curly mop of hair that Marcelo “Hurtass” Huertas was sporting last year. It made him look like a Hobbit and it opened the door to Lord of the Rings-themed descriptions, a door which I only tentatively placed a single toe through. I would love to step more boldly through that door and…

Julius Randle 21 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2016)

I’m sure you’ve seen (or even participated in) those internet discussions where greasy nerds discuss hypothetical animal battles. Stuff like 5 gorillas vs. 50 angry wildebeests or a trillion bees vs. 1000 highly trained military personnel. No one ever gets anywhere, because obviously you can’t test that kind of stuff out, but it’s still kinda…

Brandon Ingram 12 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2016)

DownToBuck is proud to present his latest thumbnail pop-art masterpiece: “Brandon Ingram in Crimson”. I don’t want to give too much away, since art is a very personal thing, viewed and interpreted differently by each individual viewer. Explaining too deeply the mysteries entwined within the thumbnail would ruin the experience. So I’m just going to…

Lou Williams 38 Points Full Highlights (12/5/2016)

The lights dimmed. The audience, which had up to this point been chattering happily, quickly quieted, the only sound being the thudding of glasses as drinks were put down upon the rickety tables they sat around. They gazed towards the front of the club, where, in the darkness, several musicians had silently approached their instruments:…

Lou Williams 40 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2016)

When I saw that Lou Williams had 28 in the first half against the Grizzlies, well, you know what I was thinking. You know what record I thought was going to have its owner stricken from the Guinness World Record book and have Williams’ name placed beside it instead. No, not Wilt’s 100. That would…

Brandon Ingram 17 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)

The prevailing narrative around Brandon Ingram said that he was a raw rookie who would not be able to contribute meaningfully right away. And, if you ask Lakers fans, they would echo those sentiments. They would claim that his current production is what they expected, maybe even that he is surpassing their expectations. I have…

Brandon Ingram 16 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2016)

Pop quiz time! Get out your pencils, kids, and make sure they’re sharp, because this one is a real doozy! Question one: What kind of an omen is the Warriors dropping 149 points against the Lakers in Brandon Ingram’s first NBA start? A. A good omen. B. Deadly… OMENS! C. A bad omen D. An…

Larry Nance Jr. 18 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (11/20/2016)

Larry Nance needs to watch some footage of first-three-seasons Blake Griffin and take copious notes on how to dunk in-game. Griffin was (and sadly is no longer) amazingly talented at dunking with fury EVERY TIME. Not just sometimes. Not just when he felt like it. Not just when Timofey Mozgov was in the vicinity. No,…

Nick Young 22 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2016)

Zach Lowe made some waves recently by stating that Nick Young is playing defense this year, which is apparently surprising because he apparently hasn’t played defense at any point in his career. I wouldn’t know. DownToBuck does not care about defense. Still, I’m going to challenge Zach on this. How on earth did he figure…

Timofey Mozgov 20 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2016)

In perusing my large collection of Timofey Mozgov closeups for the perfect thumbnail image, I’ve noticed something: Mozgov has the greyest eyes ever. They are greyer than grey. The are both gray and grey simultaneously. Unlike some special snowflakes who characterize their eye color as “hazel” or “green” (both being made-up colors), Mozgov’s are legit…
