Wesley Matthews – DownToBuck

Wesley Matthews 17 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2020)

The Bucks don’t especially need Wesley Matthews to be especially good. They’ve got a lot of talent arranged neatly on their roster, enough where any of their players (maybe even Giannis) could get in a month-long slump and they would just keep winning games. I say “month-long” because it feels like it’s been about a…

Wesley Matthews 19 Points Full Highlights (12/22/2019)

The opportunity for Wesley Matthews to get in a pair of REVENGE GAMES back to back was squandered when he was made inactive against the Knicks yesterday. His stint with the Knicks was short (two games) and rather pathetic (4-for-19 shooting), but it existed, and I’m sure he’s mad at them for waiving him so…

Wesley Matthews 19 Points Full Highlights (11/25/2019)

I’ve been fairly pleased with the acquisition of Wesley Matthews by the Bucks, but just for fun, check out some of these statlines: 0 points, 1 rebound, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 18 minutes 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks, 20 minutes 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal,…

Wesley Matthews 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/22/2019)

I understand that the Pacers acquired Wes Matthews because they needed a Victor Oladipo replacement. I fully understand that. He gives you like 40% of what Oladipo could, but he’s inexpensive and was good enough once upon a time that fans would approve of the signing. But put yourself in my shoes. Look at the…

Wesley Matthews 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/22/2018)

Does Wesley Matthews not realize that by scoring 25 points (by way of a bunch of attempted shots), he’s taking away valuable opportunities from Luka Doncic? Someone needs to tell him that the only purpose of Mavericks games right now is to increase the profile of Doncic. If you’re name isn’t Doncic, you’re not supposed…

Wesley Matthews 22 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2018)

It’s interesting that Wes Matthews is having, by far, the highest-scoring season of his Mavericks tenure while also shooting at the best efficiency of that same tenure. It’s inarguable that this is the best Matthews has played, from a raw stats perspective, since his Blazers days. Usually when I say “inarguable”, I’m being facetious or…

Wesley Matthews 23 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

Wesley Matthews is currently averaging 19 PPG, which would be the highest PPG total of his career by far if he finished the season at that mark (his previous high was 16 PPG back in 2013-14). For all my talk in the past few seasons of his achilles injury ruining his career, his career sure…

Wesley Matthews 23 Points/7 Threes/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

It’s sort of weird to think about, but Wes Matthews has only made more than seven three-pointers in a single game two times. He once made eight while playing for the Blazers, and back in December of 2015 he made ten of them for the Mavericks. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the Steph Curries and…

Wesley Matthews 29 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2018)

Wesley “Consolation Prize” Matthews may be getting paid a ton of money, but at least he can still sort of play basketball. There a bunch of players getting paid out there who can’t. And it’s not like he’s even getting that much worse; he arrived in Dallas an okay-ish player, and an okay-ish player he…

Wesley Matthews 23 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

Wes Matthews AKA “The Best Wes” was never the same after his Achilles tendon turned into Achilles spaghetti, but at least the Mavericks were nice enough to give him a contract that would allow him to comfortably live out the rest of his days. Matthews will definitely be picking up the $18 million player option…
