In The Air Tonight: Warriors unleash dunkfest on Timberwolves

dubnationhq.com

The Golden State Warriors ruined the game of basketball by mastering the art of deep shooting, revolutionizing the sport and warping the consciousness of hoopers around the globe.

But the Warriors also have a legacy of ferocious dunkers woven into their DNA, epitomized by Dub Nation HQ friend Jason Richardson.

The two-time slam dunk champion kept the Warriors relevant through the lean years with a nightly collection of jams that combined prodigious athleticism, daring creativity, and straight up disrespect. He was in Chase Center last night RANGING THE BELL, and boy did those Dubs hear the call to dunkery.

Let’s check the dunk buffet the Warriors fed the Minnesota Timberwolves last night in a thrilling 123-110 victory.

I did not see the angle for this alley oop real time because 1.) Steph already had the step on former teammate D’Angelo Russell (not exactly known as a elite defender) 2.) Gary Payton was the shortest man in the picture, normally this is territory for a 6-foot-7 dude to maybe dunk, not a lil’ guard!

I was wrong. KABLAM! Steph was so hyped he did a 40-yard dash after the play. He truly celebrates his teammate’s success more than his own #joy.

Can anyone stop this play?

Golden State seems to nail this action once a night, and each time the defense looks completely out of sorts. Probably because it involves THE SHORTEST MAN ON THE COURT GETTING UP LIKE PRIME DWIGHT HOWARD.

Our old pal D’Lo got us back with this nice lob to Anthony Edwards. The Ant Man deserves some love here for his insane scoring binge (career-high 48 points) and this crazy move. He’s eye level with the rim!! Minnesota sure knows how to draft some leapers.

Speaking of leapers who started as rookies in Minnesota, how about Andrew Wiggins, eh? Only Phil Collins can help me describe what Wiggins did to his former team last night.

IN THE AIR TONIGHT

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am

Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep this silence up
No you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and meeeee

Steph says he's going to text Wiggins the picture of him dunking on KAT before every game to "get the juices flowing." 🤣

Alright folks that’s my time, I gotta go hit the gym and work on my calf raises so I can elevate like what we witnessed together. If you say the magic word, we just might drop another E1P from the legend Eric Apricot today…

Hey, uh, Utah? Why are you losing to Indiana on your home court, with no injuries?

Exhibit A: Jordan Clarkson, 2-10 from three in this game, and this year 23% from three, down from 34% last year. Keep shootin' Jordan.

Now that the whipping boy Wiggins revived for one game, I will turn my wrath on Jordan Poole. We all know that Poole is a volume shooter and he has learned to do some other things in his 3 seasons here. But he has suffered from poor scoring efficiency in every season he has played in. Volume shooting and missing a lot has plagued him. It's improved so don't get me wrong, but he cannot be relied on to be consistent yet. He is now holding the worst scoring efficiency stat of all the rotation players. He will probably move to the bench when Klay reappears but starting is going to be a struggle for him. He is also not a great defender but he has quick hands. I like his Steph-like movement off the ball and this could be more useful off the bench. Both Porter and Bjelica are better spot up shooters so they could thrive with Poole's running around and being setup by Poole. Poole could develop to be our prime bench ball handler, facilitating the offense if he is focused not only on his own shot. He shoots way too much. With Iggy also helping facilitate, this could be a very powerful scoring bench and Poole could finally come into his own if he learns to play his role with more discipline.
