The season may have just started, but DownToBuck is already in peak midseason form. Rodney Hood scoring 20 points? That’s perfect. An absolutely perfect DTB-style performance, captured absolutely perfectly by DTB. No rust here, folks. Just buckets. Does it matter that no one is going to watch this video? Of course not. The point of…

Anfernee Simons 15 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
It’s too early in the season to know how good Anfernee Simons is. Blazers fans have high expectations for him this season, but any fanbase, Blazers fanbase included, is usually optimistic about their young players. I take their expectations with a grain of salt. That said, Simons did dominate the last season’s final game with…
Read MoreSeth Curry All 113 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Three-ilation)
The Taco Bell drive-thru was empty at three in the morning. A hoodie-wearing man rode his bicycle down the empty lane until he got to the speaker. “Uhhhh,” Seth Curry said, starting his order very indecisively. All he knew was that he had stayed up too late grinding for VC for his NBA 2K MyPlayer…
Read MoreJake Layman All 58 Dunks Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Dunkilation)
As the 2019-20 NBA season approaches, the burning question that is tormenting the prefrontal cortices of everyone’s minds is this: what team is Jake “Lake Jayman” Layman playing for these days? Okay, fine, maybe not everyone is asking that. In fact, maybe no one is asking that. But I am. Because it turns out that…
Read MoreDamian Lillard All 237 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Three-ilation Part II)
Damian’s label contact, Travis, had given the okay to upload the new track, entitled “Portland Street Vapor 夢見る睡眠”, to the official SoundCloud page for Dame D.O.L.L.A. He appreciated that he was still allowed to promote his music on his own page, as opposed to the page of the label, but he was still worried that…
Read MoreDamian Lillard All 237 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Three-ilation Part I)
The apartment was dark except for the chilling glow of the laptop screen. A man sat in front of the laptop, leaned forward so far that his nose almost touched the screen. He clicked the mouse and hit keys on the keyboard with practiced skill, focusing intently on his task. All the other responsibilities of…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (5/20/2019)
Meyers Leonard opened his eyes from sleep, which was strange in the first place, because he didn’t remember having fallen asleep. He remembered the game ending, and thinking the season was over, and then…nothing. His last memory was of walking off the court. The second strange thing was that he was somewhere that definitely was…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard 16 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (5/18/2019)
Basketball is all about matchups. When the other team makes a last minute decision to start Damian Jones, you can’t just sit there and keep starting Enes Kanter like a moron. You have to react. You have to adapt. Remember: MATCHUPS. That’s what basketball is all about. MATCHUPS. In the immortal words of Billy Donovan,…
Read MoreSeth Curry 16 Points/4 Steals Full Highlights (5/16/2019)
When ESPN deigned to show us what we signed up for instead of full-screen shots of Dell and Sonya Curry getting interviewed by an insufferable Doris Burke for half an hour, quite an exciting game happened. Not as exciting as pondering the possibility that Seth Curry and Stephen Curry are somehow related, or talking about…
Read MoreMaurice Harkless 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (5/14/2019)
The problem, as I see it, for the Trailblazers in this series is that they have to start both Maurice Harkless and Al-Farouq Aminu. Mike Breen might call them “wildcards”, which is framing it in the best way possible, but if I were an elite playoff-caliber team, I’d want to replace one of those dudes,…
