One of the main things that Serge Ibaka brings to the table in this series against the Warriors is bigness. He’s just a big dude at the power forward position, and the Warriors have very few big dudes to match up with him. Not only that, but the Warriors’ bigs are usually playing center because…

Pascal Siakam 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (6/5/2019)
We are now facing the actual real possibility of the Raptors (the Raptors) winning the NBA Finals and thus, the “championship”. I don’t have a very clear idea of what winning a championship entails other than that each player (even Eric Moreland, apparently) gets a “ring”. Whether this is a physical or metaphorical ring remains…
Read MoreDanny Green 18 Points Full Highlights (6/5/2019)
Ever since his first NBA Finals with the Spurs (where he legitimately looked like he could have been finals MVP until he wet the bed in games six and seven), I’ve had this conception of Danny Green where he totally steps up in Finals games and makes everybody into his bitch with his three-point shooting….
Read MoreFred VanVleet 17 Points Full Highlights (6/2/2019)
We are currently living in a world where Fred VanVleet not only gets minutes in the NBA Finals, but a world where Fred VanVleet gets almost forty minutes in the most important game in Raptors’ franchise history to date. It’s also a world where Fred VanVleet takes seventeen shot attempts in that game. And a…
Read MorePascal Siakam 32 Points Full Highlights (5/30/2019)
Pascal Siakam didn’t play particularly well in the series against Milwaukee, scoring fourteen PPG per game on 40% shooting, a far cry from the 17 PPG per game on 55% shooting that he displayed during the regular season. I was thinking to myself “The inexperienced Siakam is not yet ready for the biggest stages that…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (5/23/2019)
Contrary to your expectations, your old pal Dee Tee Bee is not even mad right now. In fact, it may surprise you how incredibly not mad I really am. Normally, a certain (former) scrublord named Fred VanVleet hitting 7 of 9 from deep in a pivotal game 5 win would cause much consternation for certain…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 17 Points Full Highlights (5/21/2019)
It’s a shame that a channel with the name “DownToBuck” is forced to do endless highlights of Raptors role-players kicking the Bucks’ booty. I’ve had my share of fun this series, with George Hill and Ersan Ilyasova and Brook Lopez, but that fun is over now. This game was the game where all the Raptors’…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 13 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (5/21/2019)
Normally a mere 13 points and 6 assists wouldn’t be enough for me to be compelled to make a highlight video for Fred “Vleet of Voot” VanVleet. But there are extenuating circumstances here. Those circumstances being that he has been TOTAL and ABSOLUTE booty FLAKES during these playoffs. He had a good opener, scoring 14…
Read MoreNorman Powell 18 Points Full Highlights (5/21/2019)
Tonight, Norman “Bucks Killer” Powell once again made good on the promise of his nickname by KILLING the BUCKS. Sometimes players get a reputation for playing well against certain teams without really deserving it, but Powell definitely deserves his reputation. Because, every time he plays the Bucks, he plays like a beast. P.S. I really,…
Read MorePascal Siakam 25 Points Full Highlights (5/19/2019)
Since the point of this channel is highlights (it says right there in the banner “NBA Highlights”) and not lowlights, you don’t get to see Pascal Siakam pulling a [INSERT PLAYER WHO EVER MISSED CLUTCH FREE THROWS IN THE PLAYOFFS] at the end of regulation. I can describe it to you, though. That’s not against…
