The dust has mostly settled after yet another chaotic trade deadline, one that featured some Wojnukes, a bunch of Wojbombs, and some Shamsretractions. Now that things are clearing up, I can say with about 80 percent confidence that Tyus Jones didn’t get traded. Even though you’d think the Timberwolves would want him back after they…

Ja Morant 21 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2020)
Interesting stat from the Grizzlies commentator (who I don’t remember the name of, the one who exclaims “BANGO!” every time his team makes a three, faithfully honoring the Bucks mascot): Ja Morant is second only to Giannis Antetokounmpo in made finger-rolls this season. I didn’t even know the NBA kept track of finger-roll stats. But…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 26 Points/5 Dunks/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/3/2020)
Jonas Valanciunas definitely has a future as an actor. That’s not to say that he doesn’t also have a future as a basketball player, because he obviously does, but I’m talking about after his playing days are over. He’s got the combination of imposing presence, barbaric character, and understated handsomeness that make him a perfect…
Read MoreJosh Jackson 13 Points Full Highlights (1/31/2020)
Josh Jackson is back! I was beginning to wonder if the ‘Zlies would ever bother to recall him from the G-League. If the pre-season projections for Memphis would more accurate (remember, they were supposed to be one of the worst teams in the league), yeah, there’d be no reason not to run Jackson out there…
Read MoreBrandon Clarke 17 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2020)
Brandon Clarke (whose last name will never not be pronounced “Clarky” in my head) hasn’t gotten a highlight video for over a month. I’m not apologizing for that fact, I’m just saying, that’s how long Clarke has gone without a video. The issue, if you can even consider it an “issue”, is that Clarke’s low-volume,…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 27 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2020)
I am completely out of things to say about Dillon “Dill$wag” Brooks. After having made ten highlight videos for him in the month of January (out of a possible fourteen), the well has completely run dry. He’s turning into a dynamic, exciting scorer right in front of my eyeballs, but all I can think about…
Read MoreJa Morant 18 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/29/2020)
This is the eighth assists-points double-double of Ja Morant’s young career. He doesn’t actually have any games of double-digit reboundso I didn’t need to make the distinction between the different types of double-doubles, except for the fact that Zion Williamson will probably be getting the other kind of double-double on a near-constant basis for the…
Read MoreDillon Brooks 24 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2020)
DownToBuck Is Losing Lucidity Over Neverending Brooks’ Repeated Onslaughts. Only Knicks Suck more than Brooks does in the grand scheme of all things that suck, and I really wish I didn’t have to upload his videos constantly. Also I’m sorry for using such strong language, but have you seen how many twenty-point games this dude…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 23 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2020)
Jonas Valanciunas will never get the full amount of minutes he deserves until the fans demonstrate their displeasure en masse to the coach of whatever team he happens to be on (at this moment, Taylor Jenkins of the Memphis Grizzlies is his coach). Attempting to do this via the internet is commendable, but ultimately fruitless,…
Read MoreJaren Jackson Jr. 20 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2020)
I’ve been making Jaren Jackson Jr. highlight videos with such tedious regularity this season that I’m considering spinning off these videos into a new, separate channel devoted solely to him. The tentative name for this new endeavor is Just Jaren Jackson Junior, or JJJJ. Sometimes I feel guilty about flooding my subscribers’ feeds with videos…
