C.J. McCollum 15 Points/3 Assists Full Highlights (2/11/2014)

I’m writing this description from a coffee shop in Portland. I’m not in the city for a visit, though. I’ve moved here. The amount of hype I have for CJ McCollum dictated that I come here to worship at his altar. I sold all of my possessions, bought a warehouse-turned-loft in one of the hip…

C.J. McCollum Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)

Be honest. How many of you get CJ McCollum and Ray McCallum confused? Because before I made these highlights they were basically the same player in my mind. Don’t lie. DownToBuck knows when you are lying. Unless you are a Blazers or Kings fan it’s unlikely that you’ve seen either play at all. I watch…

Wesley Matthews 24 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2014)

For a guy who scores a fair amount of points on a very good team, and who makes and takes a bunch of threes, it seems like Wesley Matthews doesn’t get the attention he deserves. I don’t understand. He’s the kind of player the people should love. He’s efficient. His advanced stats look good. His…

Nicolas Batum 21 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/18/2014)

How are the Trailblazers so good? All they did in the offseason was replace JJ Hickson with Robin Lopez. I get that Hickson wasn’t really a center and that having a true center in his place is better, but still. Maybe it’s because Damian Lillard graduated from being the next Brandon Jennings to being the…

Wesley Matthews 25 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2014)

“Defense wins championships” – Everybody ever This antiquated wisdom might have been true in the old days. But no longer. Not when a team like the Trailblazers is a threat for 20 threes on any given night. Who needs defense when the offensive spacing is so good that even Robin Lopez looks adequate? It is…

Robin Lopez 16 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2013)

The Portland Trail Blazers are the best team in the NBA right now. Let that sink in for a bit. They went 33-49 last year and the only major change to their roster was replacing J.J. Hickson with Robin Lopez. It follows logically that Robin Lopez, and Robin Lopez alone, is responsible for the elevated…

Wes Matthews 24 Points Full Highlights (11/18/2013)

Wes Matthews and DownToBuck. Both went to high school in Wisconsin. Both went undrafted in the NBA draft. Both can shoot threes. But only one of them got a 32 million dollar contract from an NBA team in order to play basketball as a full-time job. You can guess who. I’ll just go back to…

Nicolas Batum 24 Points/1 Poster Slam Full Highlights (11/17/2013)

–Nicolas Batum, Age 3.5– “Nic, I got you a new toy! Look!” Nicolas’ mom said, bringing out an inflatable rubber ball from behind her back. “You’ll have so much fun!” Nicolas took the ball from his mother’s outstretched hand. He looked at it, not with delight as his mother suspected, but rather, with mistrust. “You…

Robin Lopez 17 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2013)

Robin Lopez is one of the more underrated players in the league. He started all 82 for the Hornets last year and was consistent. He may be half-retarded, but he know what he can do on the court. Rarely does he shoot a jumper. Sometimes he tries sky-hook-like things, which is awesome and should be…

Wesley Matthews 21 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2013)

Last time I made a Wes Matthews highlight video I ended up getting a comment on it a few months later that intrigued me. “Like if your a laker fan!!!” Typical Lakers’ fan, not knowing the difference between Wes Johnson and Wes Matthews. Here’s a hint for those still confused: Wes Matthews is actually good…
