Shelvin Mack 19 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2018)

I just spent the last fifteen minutes frantically searching the Googs for phrases like “Do I have Alzheimer’s” and “early onset dementia” and “Alzheimer’s symptoms”. Now, thanks to all that Googling, I’m fairly convinced that I have the ‘Zheimers, and while I won’t let this be the end of DownToBuck, I’m sort of dreading the…

Ricky Rubio 22 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (11/2/2018)

The thing with Ricky Rubio is that his flat-ass jumpers never feel sustainable. They go in often enough, I guess, but do you ever see him put one up and think “oh yeah that’s definitely going in”? No. So when he has a good stretch of gametime where he’s line-driving them into the hole, you…

Jae Crowder 18 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (10/31/2018)

Jae Crowder is a theoretical 6MOTY of the Year candidate given that he never starts games but still gets around thirty minutes of on-court action. The only problem is, thirteen points per game isn’t really going to do it when the voters are only looking for the brainless chucker who chucked the most brainless shots….

Georges Niang 13 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2018)

I’m very impressed with Georges Niang’s ability to stay in the league. Normally dudes who barely play in their first year don’t get to come back. And normally dudes who barely played in their first year but then somehow came back only to barely play in their second year REALLY don’t get to come back….

Ricky Rubio 28 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (10/27/2018)

How much of Ricky Rubio’s offensive output tonight, in the form of both points and assists, could be attributed to the fact that Anthony Davis was out for the Pelicans? You could probably take away most of his layups, and forget about a bunch of those lobs to Gobert. New Orleans, very obviously, doesn’t have…

Joe Ingles Career High 27 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (10/19/2018)

Joe Ingles stood underneath the water of the shower, not making any effort to clean himself, but just standing there with his eyes closed. The water temperature was already as high as it would go, but he wanted it higher. He needed it higher. He craved the burning sensation on his sensitive white flesh. Not…

Joe Ingles 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (10/17/2018)

Given how good the Jazz looked and how utterly inept the Kings looked in preseason action, I was estimating that this would be a 50-point blowout in Utah’s favor. It wasn’t. What happened tonight? The Kings are bad. They have nothing but bad players on their roster, don’t @ me. The Jazz were coming off…

Donovan Mitchell All 187 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Three-ilation Part II)

The grounds of the SpaceX launch site were quiet. For a place that contained billions of dollars worth of equipment and materials, Donovan was surprised that there didn’t seem to be any physical security presence outside the building – just cameras. “Aren’t you afraid someone is watching us?” he asked in a whisper, pointing up…

Donovan Mitchell All 187 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Three-ilation Part I)

Hours passed. Outside the abandoned house that Joe Ingles and Donovan Mitchell had sought refuge in, Elon Musk was ranting and raving, becoming more deranged with each passing minute. What started with simple pleas for Joe and his “boyfriend” to come out of hiding had turned into threats of injury or even death for both…

Donovan Mitchell All 42 Dunks Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Dunkilation)

Standing on the observation platform with the rest of the spectators, Donovan Mitchell watched the SpaceX launch with a despair that was completely at odds with the rest of the group’s jubilation. His teammate and friend Joe Ingles was in that spacecraft, a craft that was headed for Mars despite its occupant’s total lack of…
