Game 23. GSW 114, SAS 91. Dubs stop punching selves in face, win with big Q3 run
Steph phases through humans for many layups, tosses in 32 points in 32 minutes.
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 theyβre 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
Iβve 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, itβs the LEFT corner that heβs 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 halftimeβ¦ Great pass from Steph. Juan... weβre gonna delete that from the tape.
[On Juanβs 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 itβs 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 Stephβs 3 at start of Q3] Yes thatβs what Iβve called HORNS Short, but heβs 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 donβt trust this lead. Itβs a trap
[On someone trusting the lead] Youβve 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
Game 23. GSW 114, SAS 91. Dubs stop punching selves in face, win with big Q3 run
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
