I was actually getting significantly hyped when the Pelicans went on an 18-2 run in the waning minutes of the game to cut the Warriors’ lead to seven. Even reliving it while making this highlight video caused by BHL (Blood Hype Level) to elevate. I would have loved nothing more than to see an arena…

Ricky Rubio Triple Double 26 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (4/21/2018)
“Hey DownToBuck,” Ricky says as he walks towards me from a great distance. “Ricky,” I murmur to myself, quietly enough that he can’t hear it, and I know this must be a dream because there is no circumstance in my waking life where I would get to see Ricky Rubio in person. I try to…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz Triple Double 13 Pts/10 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (4/11/2018)
I held off on making Markelle Fultz highlights until he had a legitimately good game. That meant he had to score more than ten points. I did this because I have standards. Some might scoff at the concept, because I will gladly make a highlight video for some no-name scrub scoring twelve points, but believe…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 15 Pts/20 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (4/9/2018)
How many triple-doubles would Nikola Jokic have if the Nuggets’ (and others) scorekeepers weren’t insistent on putting the “ass” in “assists” and rewarding him with them at their own whim? Probably that game where he had 17 dimes would still make the cut, and maybe that 14-assist performance, but other than that, I don’t think…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 23 Pts/11 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (4/7/2018)
The Nuggets aren’t done yet! I’ve written them off approximately 50 times recently in various descriptions, but they’re still kicking. Not only are the still kicking, but they’re kicking other teams right in the SACK, this time divesting the Clippers of their earnestly-held playoff dreams. I’m still absolutely 100-percent uncertain of what they have to…
Read MoreGreg Monroe Triple Double 19 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (4/6/2018)
Thanks to the heroic efforts of two Celtics scrubs, Jabari Bird and Jonathan Gibson (basketball-reference, as of this writing, calls him “John Gibson”, but I’m pretty sure this is the same guy who played for the Mavs last season), Greg Monroe was able to secure the second triple-double of his career. Without Bird’s five makes…
Read MoreJrue Holiday Triple Double 21 Pts/11 Rebs/11 Asts/2 Blks Full Highlights (3/27/2018)
Jrue Holiday did a lot of great stuff tonight, accumulating enough units for what is commonly known as a “triple-double”, which seems to be some sort of statistical feat. I can’t figure out the exact specifics, but everyone seems to think they’re really good, so I’ll roll with it. But the best part of his…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell Triple Double 18 Pts/13 Asts/11 Rebs Full Highlights (3/23/2018)
Is the Spencer Dinwiddie show over? I was really looking forward to the double-length season finale where he got a 50-people triple-double that led the Nets to the playoffs somehow. The D’Angelo Russell show is fine, but it’s severely lacking in the afros department as well as in the area of big goofy smiles. Dinwiddie…
Read MoreNicolas Batum Triple Double 10 Pts/10 Rebs/16 Asts Full Highlights (3/15/2018)
This is the most assists by a player in a Hornets uni since Kemba Walker somehow also got 16 back in 2014 even though he doesn’t really want to pass the ball as a general rule. Also of note: Raymond Felton got 19 for the Bobcats once, and Brevin Knight got 20. That last one…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell Triple Double 10 Pts/11 Asts/10 Rebs/6 Stls Full Highlights (2/12/2018)
T.J. McConnell needed only four more steals for a quadruple-double tonight. He was not ridiculously far off a frickin’ QUADRUPLE-DOUBLE. Remember when MCW did something similar in his first ever game? Remember how hyped you were? That’s how hyped you should be now, except maybe tempered slightly because this was against the Knicks instead of…
