Often times, I will see y'all posting gifs and twitter links to a play and seriously overreacting at how good it was.

This is not one of those times. Gotdamn that made me get outta my seat. I was really not liking Edwards cause of the draft interview, but I dont give a poo poo what he says if I get to see one of those a year.

This year's rooks have been pretty impressive honestly, for rookies.

He remains so goddamn frustrating. Putting up his stupid 18ppg. And then bubble Murray shows up once in a while and lights the whole state on fire from all over the court.

Edit: Granted he has been banged up.

if you dunk a dunk as hard as ant and land on your feet you didn't dunk hard enough

nothing cooler than not being able to handle the magnitude of your own dunk

I disagree. Not landing on your feet should never negate a sick jam, but it does represent points left on the table. Nothing completes a monster dunk like standing over the body you just caught. That Kemp dunk on Lister is as beloved as it is because Kemp stuck the landing and pointed right in Lister's dumb face.

The Raptors were stuck in the 50s for the entire 3rd quarter.


And that Nate Duncan tweet is Rovelian in its commitment to the gimmick. It'd be one thing if this was a game people actually cared about (actually it would still be dumb) but going to check the boxscore of a Raptors-Wolves game in February to "contextualize" an all time dunk is a truly weird way to engage with basketball.

I mean if you can find a way to both acknowledge that dunks are cool and good and that also nerdy lame stats tell another story power to you, I think this duality can only be achieved via dick graphs myself.

pointing out that Ant kind of stinks (thought he has actually been very good over the last like month, at least on offense) is fine but prefacing his stats with "everyone on Twitter is talking about this dunk" is obnoxious and makes it sound like you are scolding people for liking a cool dunk for the sake of a cool dunk, and also fits with his general vibe of only appreciating basketball players as cap numbers
