Brandon Clarke is leading all 2019 draftees in the enigmatic and impenetrable stat known as “Win Shares”. If you want more details on what a “Win Share” is, I urge you to find someone who isn’t me to talk to, because I don’t have any. All I know is that it’s a stat, it’s on…

Ja Morant 19 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (11/25/2019)
It’s unlikely that the NBA will go back and look at this “double-double” performance from Ja Morant, since they really only care about the veracity of assists when it comes to triple-doubles. They have no respect for the quality of stats that their scorekeepers generate, and that’s fine. As long as the point totals are…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/25/2019)
It has come to my attention that Jaren Jackson’s rebounding numbers aren’t all they should be. It’s not, like, a Brook Lopez situation where they’re comically low and pathetic (don’t even talk to be about how he “boxes out” I don’t want to hear it), but for a 6-11 dude with intact knee ligaments, it’s…
Read MoreJae Crowder 21 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2019)
You know the phrase “exercise in futility”? It refers to more than just your lazy, practically non-existent efforts to keep yourself in physical shape, you disgusting mound of sedentary blubber. It also refers to the act of DownToBuck going through the effort of making a Jae Crowder highlight video and then uploading it to his…

I forgot how much I loved teal. Actually, no I didn’t, because the Hornets have been rocking teal for a few years now and they’ve proven that it’s STILL the raddest color out of the whole god-damn palette. But I did forget how much I loved the Grizzlies wearing teal. Bryant Reeves would puke if…

Read MoreJa Morant 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/19/2019)
Ja Morant didn’t play particularly well this game. That’s fine; rookies have bad games pretty much all the time. If anything, we should be encouraged by this performance, because he did something that many players never figure out how to do. Which is: put up a good statline while sucking. Most players, when they suck,…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 22 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/17/2019)
Jaren Jackson Jr. just set a career-high in three-point makes with five of them in this game. His shooting form still doesn’t sit right with me, but if your unorthodox shooting form allows you to shoot almost 38% from the deepzone, then I suppose you should keep shooting it that way and not try to…
Read MoreBrandon Clarke 19 Points/0 Missed Field Goals Full Highlights (11/17/2019)
Brandon Clarke’s 8 field goals without a miss in this game is tied for second most this season. When you see that stat, the guy in first place, with 9, should come to mind IMMEDIATELY. If this player does not come to mind IMMEDIATELY, you are not a WORTHY DownToBuck viewer and you should remove…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 20 Points Full Highlights (11/15/2019)
There’s not much point in writing anything of substance in the description box of a Dillon Brooks highlight video. I’ve made three other videos for him this season, and not one of them has reached the mythical thousand-view threshold that basically informs me whether or not the video should even have been made in the…
