https://youtu.be/RiLo1pRcbH8 The prevailing narrative surrounding this game is that Joel Embiid exited with a minor knee injury prior to the end of the first quarter. Of course, the undiscerning sheeple which comprise the NBA fandom as a collective are eager to lap up this explanation with nary a second thought. Only DownToBuck and his faithful…

Daniel Gafford 15 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (5/20/2021)
https://youtu.be/Ptw5z8urhLk Daniel Gafford went from not really playing on the Bulls (who are, it should be noted, a WORSE team than the ‘Zards) to being one of the most vital role-players on a ‘Zards team that won fifteen out of their final nineteen games and have now sneaked into the playoffs. I don’t consume very…
Read MoreRaul Neto Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (5/6/2021)
https://youtu.be/QeFqBnfS8uM At the risk of sounding like I’m focused on irrelevancies rather than the actual sport of basketball, does anybody else share my opinion that Raul Neto is the most attractive guy currently on the ‘Zards? Scrolling down the list of players that comprise the ‘Zards roster, I can easily picture these dudes in my…

https://youtu.be/jBkvXuDVClE Daniel Gafford and Russell Westbrook is like a match made in basketball heaven. Westbrook gets somebody to feed for easy baskets, and Gafford gets a point guard who will feed him easy baskets. Not only that, but Westbrook will hog the ball so that Gafford doesn’t ever feel pressured to shoot a shot that…

https://youtu.be/txAkcs2dPFw There were probably ten or so individual scrub performances from last night that were statistically more impressive than this one, but I don’t want to make any of those videos. I’m semi-retired and I reside in a plane far above the endless wailful din of plebes demanding this video or that video. Their tears…
Read MoreRaul Neto Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2021)
https://youtu.be/wjmzs6tMyko When it comes to Brazilians in the NBA, there isn’t a whole lot to work with. Despite Brazil’s history of producing good NBA players, the current list is rather short: -Bruno Caboclo -Cristiano Felicio -Raul Neto And you can actually take Caboclo off that list because he was waived by the Rockets back in…

https://youtu.be/lltiq0aMvpE In the interest of full disclosure, just in case you were thinking “yeah, 8 hook shots is cool, I guess, but I’m not going to watch a Robin Lopez highlight vid unless he makes 9”, the one non-hook shot that Lopez made in this video was actually a really slick post move with fancy…
Read MoreRui Hachimura Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2021)
https://youtu.be/MpS1tdwfooE Thirty points is Rui Hachimura’s career high. However, it’s not a new career high, it just ties a career high that he set in his rookie season. That means, for all the true DTB acolytes who were hoping for a “Hall of the Thirty Point Scorers” video description where Hachimura enters a mystical realm…
Read MoreRui Hachimura 26 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (3/29/2021)
https://youtu.be/dtwE01KkqIM In between bites of Pop-Tart, I’ve been doing some major thinkage this morning. And after all that thinkage combined with entirely unhealthy amounts of sugar, I’m sort of thinking that Rui Hachimura might have to be excised from my channel in the near future. What follows is a forbidden glimpse into my genius-level thought…
Read MoreChandler Hutchison 18 Points Wizards Debut Full Highlights (3/29/2021)
https://youtu.be/0Q7wvLzkNv4 Chandler “The Flying Hutchman” Hutchison is still a bit of an unknown quantity at this point. Over the course of three seasons, he’s appeared in eighty games, which is not even one full season’s worth of games. His career has been disrupted by injuries a few times, and he’s also had stretches where he…
