Game 23. GSW 114, SAS 91. Dubs stop punching selves in face, win with big Q3 run

The game started like a slog, then the Dubs hit their flow in the third and the team filled their chakras and it was all love. Yes, this summary was written by Kelly Oubre.

In-Game Ranting

  • Oooh, I like Wiggins going for the huge dunk. I know that Wiggs gets 50% more mana from a made mega dunk, but maybe the attempt is good for extra mana too

  • Our Guy Juan getting a bit of the Tony Allen treatment. Drives, almost gets a layup to go. Good strip on the other side.

  • Oh, I love that play. Steph entry to Oubre, goes to screen for Dray, Oubre drives, using Dray as a screen. Dray called for a foul though.

  • I like that play out of HORNS, Our Guy Juan gets free from the Steph back screen, almost stopped by a GREAT rotation. Run something for him to get him going.

  • Feels like Dray forces that pass to the paint cutter a lot

  • Wow, that give and go play with Steph was outstanding. Except for the missed point blank layup

  • OUR GUY JUAN. Ok I was going to write about how posting him up is not playing to his strengths (I guess they’re experimenting), and then he pulls that corner 3 out of his butt. Then a steal.

  • Juan fumbled catch, not sure if it was the pass or Juan

  • I’ve never liked that 2-3 zone. But maybe this is the long game and we need to get better at it to have in the toolbox.

  • Baze went to the wrong corner, it’s the LEFT corner that he’s unstoppable from

  • All these passes to the cutters are right on the feet, which is good for soccer but

  • Wait wait wait

  • Steph just ran through the entire Spurs team, and I mean, THROUGH. Like he passed between the molecules

  • Two for one time, so you see Steph in his fully feral form

  • Mills taking incidental contact to a new level there

  • A lot of home cooking on these calls I must say

  • Paschall has lost some of his swagger. He had a mouse in the house and passed out of the post up

  • At least we seem to have eliminated the fouling of three point shooters? No jinx

  • Interesting double team of DeRozan, who handles it very poorly

  • NIce switch by Oubre on that drive Q2.0.50

  • Right before halftime… Great pass from Steph. Juan... we’re gonna delete that from the tape.

  • [On Juan’s overuse of the reverse layup] The puyal

  • Juan has been doing a lot of work organizing the defense and doing the little things, but... gotta dunk that.

  • Game has the feeling of another weird ending incoming

  • Pretty much every close game has a weird ending, so it’s not much of a prediction. But when I tell you that Wanamaker wins it with a buzzer beater dunk, then you have to take notice

  • Haha Oubre was so chill about that steal, no one realized the ball was free

  • Yeah it was a cross court nutmeg

  • [On Steph’s 3 at start of Q3] Yes that’s what I’ve called HORNS Short, but he’s not usually open so early

  • OUR GUY JUAN running the short roll to perfection. Dish to Oubre corner 3

  • Dejounte missed a midrange???? Hacking

  • Our Guy Juan... Steph collapses the D, OGJ converts it into a lightning relay to Oubre in the corner.

  • Look at Curry man so inspirational

  • OUR GUY JUAN KNOWS HOW TO RUN A FAST BREAK

  • Remember when we went the whole first month without a properly run fast break?

  • Klay wants to play soooooooo bad

  • Bazemore from that specific spot, the left corner, is shooting 137%.

  • Spurs are now Tony-Allening Our Guy Juan while trapping Steph. OGJ will have to either hit the open 3 or drive to punish.

  • I don’t trust this lead. It’s a trap

  • [On someone trusting the lead] You’ve fallen into the trap, poor soul

  • Oubre does seem to be trying to keep the ball moving in the O and not force shots unless he has advantage

  • Wanamaker stuffed about four bad plays into a ten second span there

  • I can only watch the game out of the corner of my eye right now, but it looks like the Dubs are permanently on offense. Spurs O collapse?

  • Garbage time is Paschall revitalization time

I love that we have not been swept in a miniseries yet. Even better that we got the sweep over the T-Wolves when some other decent teams like San Antonio could only manage the split vs them. (Though, I would also be happy with the Spurs sweeping the Wolves given the draft pick situation.)

That close Raptor win is looking a lot better now that they are the 6th seed
