https://youtu.be/Dn6yMLNYAss A quick look at Seth Curry’s career prior to this year would have quickly yielded a clear fact: that he can only play good if he’s on the Dallas Mavericks. He could play okay for other teams, but if you were acquiring him because you really wanted him to be a legit third-or-fourth-ish scoring…

Shake Milton 31 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/14/2021)
https://youtu.be/MNMlz2JEYig The 76ers are quickly becoming the team that holds the coveted status of “team who ruins DownToBuck’s life the most”. Even though I’m mostly retired and don’t do a ton of videos, I still get upset when one team starts to demand more of my time than they should. A lot of different Sixers…
Read MoreDanny Green 29 Points/9 Threes Full Highlights (1/12/2021)
https://youtu.be/L7FrbS4h8iI Danny Green attemped 21 three-pointers in this game. Twenty-one! To give you a sense of how anomalous this is in the context of his career, his previous career high in 3PA was 13. And it’s also anomalous in the context of the NBA as a whole: there are only seven instances of a player…
Read MoreIsaiah Joe 18 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2021)
https://youtu.be/U5YhPo5SiDo Isaiah “He of Two First Names” Joe had a rather rough go of it in the game before this one. You know, the game where the Sixers only had seven players and, like, four of them were rookies? Joe got 45 minutes in that one (props to him for not cramping up under the…
Read MoreTyrese Maxey Career High 39 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/9/2021)
https://youtu.be/11VlllK7TCU When I saw the seven-man rotation that the COVID-decimated Sixers were trotting out for tonight’s game, I thought to myself, there are two things that could happen here: Thing That Could Happen Numero Uno: The Sixers score seventy points in the game, shoot 29% from the field as a team, and lose by fifty….
Read MoreSeth Curry 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/6/2021)
https://youtu.be/NN-mSzMY8QY I don’t want to cause you any alarm, but Seth Curry (who, I should remind you, is an undersized shooting guard and isn’t even tall) is currently leading the ENTIRE frickin’ LEAGUE in true shooting percentage. Screw it, let’s all get alarmed right now. I am alarmed as heck. In fact, I am so…
Read MoreShake Milton 17 Points Full Highlights (8/20/2020)
Shake Milton went 6-of-18 from the field in this game. He had more field goal attempts than he had points, which violates the cardinal DTB rule: DO NOT MAKE A HIGHLIGHT VIDEO IF THE PLAYER IN QUESTION HAD MORE FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS THAN POINTS SCORED. However, he has been granted what is known as the…
Read MoreRaul Neto 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
According to Kyle O’Quinn (who has never shown himself to be anything other than a reliable source of information), Raul Neto is the best Monopoly player on the 76ers. Al Horford, meanwhile, is the worst. These tidbits of knowledge are the exact trivia items I need in my life. What could lend more humanity to…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 21 Points Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
While painstakingly crafting the thumbnail image for this video (a laborious process which sometimes takes up to 45 seconds), I noticed something: Furkan Korkmaz looks like a cartoon character. With his comically large hairdo which borders on caricature, his larger-than-average eyes, his strange lack of teeth, his pointed face, his dopy expression, and his picture-perfect…
Read MoreKyle O’Quinn 9 Points/10 Rebounds/11 Assists Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
With fifteen seconds left in this game, and with just one point standing between him and the fabled, glorious lands of the triple-double, Kyle O’Quinn had the ball. All he had to do was make a bucket (or get fouled on a shot attempt, but good luck getting the refs to call anything other than…
