I noticed this while watching last night...in the clip at like 11:32 in Q3, there's a graphic saying that the Dubs have been averaging 60.5 points in the second half. they ended up scoring 61, so although Wiggs ruined his 17-point average, the Dubs as a team kept it steady!
The psychological damage of watching the dunk dozens of times and then even being told it counts after all just demolished Dallas. I love it.
Also, I really liked that screen in the lane from Juan, but I was disappointed by several of his plays earlier—he had about two chances to dunk it where he kicked it out instead. And like, yeah, a wide open Moody or Wiggins is pretty good expected value, but the expected value of a dunk is still probably higher: both in terms of likelihood of points scored, and the intangible effects on morale. If OPJ is still out next game I hope Wiggins' play reminds OGJ of that. Or maybe he should have another look at his own poster signed by would-be WCF opponent and friend of the program Javale McGee earlier in the season?
The manner in which I have prioritized watching and and re-watching this dunk over cleaning my kitchen is truly unhealthy... so now I shall prioritize trying to find the clip of Wiggins' massive baseline rim attack at the end of the shot clock where he tried to end the lineage of Reggie Bullock. He was playing with tremendous aggressioniveness* all night and it was just a matter of time before he caught a body.
Maybe the Doncic "Ow! My eye!" could become part of the Warriors ever-expanding repertoire of bench celebrations...?
Luka is clearly and amazing player and generational talent BUT he also revealed a side of himself this series I don't love. Not only the instinctual mid-air BS flopping but in his postgame he was all excuses "I'm only 23!" . I didn't hear any of that from Ja. Kid still has some growing up to do.
"How do you like them Bunnies?!" Wiggins new posterize taunt 😤

I remembered something late last night.
When the Wiggins trade went through, a guard that had been on Minnesota's team (Tyus Jones, maybe?) said something like (paraphrasing):
Wiggs is going to be lit. It's [ Golden State ] the perfect spot for him.
Boy was that right.
The coaching staff has had quite a series.

"and it was all going so well..." LMAO
If we have "Klaytheism", can we also have "Apric-quotes"?
Draymond yelling "AND 1!" at the birth of his children is killing me from inside.
You have upped your game again sir.
These videos- hard as fudge! Love it.
"European...flop technology...because of all the soccer." A hysterical observation. Love it!
