Attention to the cavemen inhabiting TNT headquarters: your underdeveloped brains might not realize this, but there are some plays that require replays and some plays that do not require replays. And during the Knicks-Bulls broadcast last night, your ignorance on proper replay protocol was exposed in the most embarrassing manner possible. Every Mindaugas Kuzminskas basket…

Brandon Jennings 20 Points Full Highlights (1/9/2017)
Brandon Jennings got a surprise starting gig tonight, after Derrick Rose failed to show up for the game and didn’t tell anyone about it. That’s why you have backups! As of this writing, Rose’s current whereabouts are unknown, so you know what that means. Speculation! Baseless speculation! I’ve got a few theories as to Rose’s…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 17 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2017)
Brandon Jennings got ejected from this game with 21 seconds left to go, but it happened in the backcourt while everybody else was busy playing basketball in the frontcourt, so there was no good video angle for it. It wasn’t even really a fight, anyway. Joe Young must have said something to him and he…
Read MoreMindaugas Kuzminskas 13 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2017)
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but as of last night, the stated goal of the DownToBuck media empire has changed. No longer is it my mission to showcase the unshowcased, to highlight the unhighlit. No, the new goal of DownToBuck is to highlight Lithuanian NBA players and Lithuanian NBA players only. I’ve seen the…
Read MoreMindaugas Kuzminskas 15 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2017)
I must extend a sincere apology to all of my friends in Lithuania and especially the residents of the beautiful metropolis of Vilnius. I did not mean to ignore Mindaugas “Mindingus” Kuzminskas’ new career high for so long. It was an oversight and I apologize. A weird-looking European hitting threes, dunking, and driving recklessly to…
Read MoreJoakim Noah 15 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2016)
Joakim Noah’s contract rightly catches a lot of heat for its length, its size, and its general awfulness. But we have to be fair to Noah: he’s playing better right now than he did last year, and he might even be better now than he was two years ago, so the contract could be worse….
Read MoreMindaugas Kuzminskas 14 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (12/31/2016)
I remain baffled by Mindaugas Kuzminskas’ continued presence in the NBA. How is even here? His stats in Europe were nothing special. He looks like nothing special. His game is nothing special. By all accounts, he is nothing special, but here he is, playing in the best basketball league in the world. If anything, he…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 32 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2016)
This was a great performance by Brandon Jennings. One could even say it was “vintage” Brandon Jennings. 32 points and 7 assists, it’s no 55, but it’s damn good. Tons of his swaggy midrange jumpers that usually don’t go in but did tonight. Add some swaggy threes and some drives to the basket after which…
Read MoreKristaps Porzingis 21 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2016)
21 points for Kristaps Porzingis, and I don’t even feel anything anymore. Well, that’s a lie. I do feel a little bit still. But not as much as before. I’m like a drug addict, my dosage has to keep increasing for me to experience the same euphoria. It used to be that if Krispy scored…
Read MoreJoakim Noah 14 Points/4 Free Throws Full Highlights (12/28/2016)
I don’t know why everyone is all of a sudden hating on Joakim Noah’s free-throw shooting form. I mean, they were doing it before, back when he was still good on the Bulls, but it seems like it has really ramped up lately. Just because Noah has a ludicrously huge contract with no hope of…
