Brandon Ingram 32 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2019)

This is like the best timeline for DownToBuck. It’s good for two reasons: Reason one: Brandon Ingram is playing well, which means I get to watch an exciting young player go out there and get buckets while making LeBron James look like LeDefer Blames. I’ve been hard on Ingram in the past, and I still…

Brandon Ingram 29 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2019)

There is a fact here that I’m going to have to face even though I definitely don’t want to face it: Brandon Ingram has been playing pretty well lately. Stabbing pains are shooting through my entire body after writing that. I almost want to go back and delete it and tell the whole world that…

Brandon Ingram 27 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2019)

I often come away from Brandon Ingram videos feeling like he’s some kind of midrange specialist who can punish players with his smooth in-between game. That just shows that even somebody like me, somebody who perfectly understands the power that a well-crafted highlight video can wield, will occasionally fall victim to the deceptions of the…

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…

JaVale McGee 21 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (2/10/2019)

Why do the Lakers keep bringing in replacements for JaVale McGee? First Tyson Chandler (who supposedly “defends” and “rebounds”, now Mike Muscala (who supposedly “shoots”). Here’s the deal: McGee doesn’t need a replacement. He’s a good, maybe even ideal, starting center for a team like the Lakers. And his whole asthma thing was blown way…

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…

Lance Stephenson 20 Points/1 Elbow Full Highlights (1/31/2019)

I wasn’t watching this game live, so I’m not fully aware of the ramifications of Lance Stephenson’s elbow to the face of Boban Marjanovic in the overtime period. All I know is he went up for a layup while swinging his elbow into Boban’s head, the refs blew the whistle, there was a lot of…

Brandon Ingram Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)

Brandon Ingram made 16 shots tonight, a career-best. His points were also a career-best, but everyone knows that it’s buckets, not raw points, that are the true measure of how good a performance is. That’s why no one actually likes James Harden (they pretend to, but the truth will be revealed when Paul George wins…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 24 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

Even when Kentavious Caldwell-Pope AKA Kentaviass Caldbrick-Poop has a good game, which is less and less often these days, I feel like Lakers fans couldn’t care less. I fully believe he is the player on the team that they are least hyped for. Every other player gives you a reason to be excited for them….

Ivica Zubac 24 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

In tonight’s much-vaunted battle of the Croatian centers, two third-year players battled it out for the title of Croat GOAT: Ivica Zubac of the Lakers and Dragan Bender of the Suns. Using mostly facts with a heavy dose of pure truth, I will, in this video description, attempt to figure out which had the better…
