One thing that struck me while watching this game was that Derrick White was being aggressive with his three-pointers. He wasn’t just standing around waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise before launching from deep. He was making his own opportunities by taking the ball and shooting in whoever’s face was there. This will not…

Keldon Johnson 15 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)
Repeat after me: KELDON JOHNSON GOOD. BRYN FORBES BAD. KELDON JOHNSON GOOD. BRYN FORBES BAD. KELDON JOHNSON GOOD. BRYN FORBES BAD. If you were able to successfully repeat the words that are currently on your screen, good job! You’re well on your way to being an authentic Spurs fan (complete with authentic ironic appreciation for…
Read MoreRudy Gay 24 Points Full Highlights (8/3/2020)
I can just hear the imagined utterances of the haters now: “DownToBuck didn’t make a Rudy Gay nineteen point highlight video because DownToBuck hates the Spurs.” “Rudy Gay scoring nineteen points is eminently worthy of a highlight video and anybody who thinks otherwise is being an ignoramus.” “My life revolves around consuming media featuring the…
Read MoreDejounte Murray 21 Points Full Highlights (8/2/2020)
With Dejounte Murray cutting his hair (among other Spurs players), and the general lack of names on jerseys, and my inability care about player’s jersey numbers, it’s very difficult to figure out who’s who on the court for the Spurs these days. Watching from a distance, Dejounte’ Murray could be DeMar DeRozan. He could also…
Read MoreDerrick White 26 Points/5 Assists/5 Charges Taken Full Highlights (7/31/2020)
In the pitch blackness of his hotel room, Derrick White opened his eyes wide. But why? What had so swiftly and decisively roused him from his sleep? He searched his mind for memories of a possible nightmare, but no such recollection could be found. All he knew was that he had just been asleep, but…
Read MoreLonnie Walker 16 Points Full Highlights (7/31/2020)
I gotta say, I commend Lonnie Walker for going out on a limb and telling us the real story of why he had that crazy haircut of his. The one that looked like a clump of tree stumps with one of them falling over. It took real courage to pour out his inner demons for…
Read MoreLonnie Walker All 116 Field Goals Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Bucketilation)
Lonnie Walker IV is, as far as I can tell, the player on the Spurs who is most beloved by Spurs fans. While every other player on the team ranges from completely reviled (Bryn Forbes) to begrudgingly tolerated (LaMarcus Aldridge) to fondly accepted (Dejounte Murray), none of them enjoy the universal fan support that Walker…
Read MoreLaMarcus Aldridge All 173 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Jumperilation)
LaMarcus Aldridge suddenly threw down his XBox controller, causing the player he was controlling in FIFA 20 to dive to the ground. “I just decided that I want a girlfriend.” “Now’s not the time,” Patty Mills said as he easily scored a goal. “We can talk about it after I’m done destroying you.” Grabbing the…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 16 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2020)
I love the way Marco Belinelli shoots the ball. Spurs fans might be totally done with him (and I don’t blame them, he hasn’t been great), but I don’t have to see all the times he took a horrible fading three for no reason and it didn’t go in. I get to see the times…
Read MoreBryn Forbes 19 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
If Spurs fans are to be believed, then the reason that Spurs are so disappointing this season is that Bryn Forbes literally does not play any defense at all, at any point, ever. No matter who he is supposed to be guarding, he just doesn’t stop them. No resistance at all. They do whatever they…
