Another great breakdown. I definitely took note of that savage Wiggins dunk and thought, "Oh, he's having a game now!" Funny thing is Wiggins "having a game" is almost indistinguishable from how he always plays. He's always going to do that exact crossover rhythm dribble into a contested 3 (or long 2!), and end up scoring about 18 points in total. (Readers: do you remember him having a 40-point game at Memphis last March, or a 38-pointer against Phoenix at the end of last season? Me neither.) But his rebounding feels stronger this year, his defensive improvements are still holding up to the eye test, and I'm loving what I'm seeing on the drive-and-kicks in this video. Soooo glad he just went and got vaccinated so he can play and we can cheer for him without a big cloud hanging over the team like what's happening to some east-coast teams right now.
"people are a little confused about how Wiggins did not score exactly 17 points" Cogent. Very cogent. (madly checks dictionary for definition of cogent, which helps...not at all. Decides to leave it as is cuz it makes him seem smart.)
Yeeesh, I took the liberty of watching the LAL-OKC highlights. Lots of pain for everyone including those ending airballs and RWB getting chucked and then snapping at the ref when he wouldn’t go (fine?). The icing on the cake is the final margin of victory came off a completely lucky 3 pt chuck by SGA to end Q3.
I was on my way back from work jamming to Mrs. Officer, which is a catchy Lil Wayne song about him having a . . . ahem . . . "relationship" with a female cop.
While, I was bumping that at a stop light, a police car rolls up next to me . . . with a female police officer. Lil Wayne was singing "wee uh weeh uh" in the background and we locked eyes. 😂
My light turned green, but before I turned, I very calmly stated . . . "Gives fuck the police a whole different meaning", and drove away. I heard her cackling behind me as I made the turn.
OKC young guns bringing it on. SGA is a star in the making. Teams with good pace are giving the Warriors problems.

This is their Championship. They’re getting blown out by 35 next game.

The Lakers shoot a blistering 17-for-25 (66.7%) in the 1st Q and lead OKC 41-19 after one. AD has 12p; Russ has 5p 6r 6a.
What’d I’d tell you. It’s been like this since 2015. Most of these teams want to measure themselves against Curry and the Warriors thinking that just because the dude is of average NBA height and athleticism they can match up well if they go hard then don’t have the legs the following game
Ok, watched the vid, my first actually, love the breakdowns. Best shot, all 5 warriors in the lane with SGA, while 4 other okc outside 3 point line. Amazing what you see when you slow shit down. This really shows what connectivity means in the NBA. Defense is all about staying connected, everyone on a string, rotations are everything. It's hard to really get until you freeze frame it.
Lakers so old they're asking that all games be played half-court.

The one year I won't be rooting for Steph for MVP. Let's go HBBBB

Upset night! Lakers, Nets, Bucks, Celtics, Suns all lose. And Clips are headed that way as Cleveland leads by 14 with 4 minutes left.
Harrison Barnes for the win! So given the events of tonight, we should be more impressed by the Dubs squeaking past both the Kings and Thunder.
1st Q: Lakers 41-19
2nd-4th Q: Thunder 104-74
Funny story time!!

04:20 "I don't know if you can hear the shark music". Yeah. Juan Tiburón-Anderson.
Staunch defender. Unshellfish passer. Scorer in the post.
Andrew Wiggins: so much more than a tuna sandwich.
