https://youtu.be/znlJyFs385U The old Kenrich Williams, the Kenrich Williams of last season, the Kenrich Williams who averaged six points per 36 minutes, would never have put on a scoring exhibition like this. But this is not the old Kenrich Williams. This is the NEW Kenrich Williams. And the new Kenrich Williams is not only able to…

Darius Bazley 21 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2021)
https://youtu.be/HTC2Vaol-rc OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Darius Bazley needed 21 shots to score his 21 points in this game. Any time the amount of field goals attempted is equal to or greater than the amount of points scored, you know you’re looking at an inefficient scoring performance, and the numbers bear this out: Bazley was 7-of-21 from…
Read MoreMike Muscala 22 Points/1 Half Full Highlights (2/6/2021)
https://youtu.be/b7CFhHVdDls Mike “The Musky Minnesotan” Muscala made mince meat out of the Timberpuppies in the first half of this contest, dropping in 22 points on a combination of outside splashmastery and tough inside bucketage. Muscala probably grew up as a fan of the Timberpoops, being from the twin cities suburb of Roseville, so there was…

https://youtu.be/2TvwTYWhBec Let it be known that DownToBuck actually watched some of this contest between the Thunder and the Rockets, and let it also be known that DownToBuck was surprised and, honestly, dismayed, to find that Kenrich Williams was actually doing a few productive things on the court during that span of time. This is dismaying…
Read MoreTheo Maledon 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/29/2021)
https://youtu.be/bEuzrQFLS8U The Thunder are done trying to win games. What they did last year was fun and all, but even a maximization of the potential on that particular roster was unlikely to result in anything more than a second-round exit before the rotting corpse and gigantic contract of Chris Paul dragged them back into the…
Read MoreMike Muscala 23 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/25/2021)
https://youtu.be/EUz79mtzPcg I just got to thinking, will NBA players ever consent to going back to those cramped pre-social-distancing benches? I’m looking at this footage of Mike “Muscy Stench” Muscala stretching out in his own personal chair with his own personal Gatorade cooler (probably stocked with all manner of refreshing beverages) and I’m thinking about how…

https://youtu.be/nLcD_vWeBRc I know I’ve said it repeatedly (tbh every NBA-related thought I’ve ever had has been said repeatedly just because of how many descriptions I’ve had to type over the years), but I really, REALLY don’t care about the Dunk Contest. I don’t watch it, I don’t watch replays of the dunks, I don’t remember…
Read MoreIsaiah Roby 19 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2020)
https://youtu.be/sF5B0NBdjF8 OFFICIAL DTB CONFESSION: I almost added the descriptor of “Thunder Debut” to the title of this video. The only reason I didn’t was because I went to Isaiah Roby’s basketball-reference page to verify some information. It was on that page that I saw that Roby isn’t even a rookie. I’m just going to pause…
Read MoreLuguentz Dort 26 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2020)
https://youtu.be/bpDd5ZgRIp0 I’m looking at the Thunder roster right now, and I’m just coming to the startling (perhaps even disquieting) conclusion that Luguentz Dort is their third option on offense. When you frame things in that context, 26 points from isn’t even really a surprise. Third options on teams score 26 points all the time. A…
