Luka Don's heft, weight and skill were expected to overwhelm Andrew Wiggins. The finale of his jewel of a playoff series came during Golden State's win over Don.
They are inverses of one another. Luka could be the best player in The Association's history with a vertical leap that could be measured. That has been one of the questions he has been asked since he arrived. It should have been enough for Phoenix or Sacramento to not draft him, but his game has kept him from achieving legendary status.
His productivity has not been curbed by it. He is the NBA's leading playoff scorer. He plays All-Star Game-caliber defense, which results in teams hunting him through switches. Luka was attacked by Phoenix in the first round. Curry has eaten him as well. The bar is high when we are talking about becoming the best player on the planet. Thanks to his length, the likes of James, Antetokounmpo, and even Joki have unlocked a defensive fortitude that has elevated them to a higher plane of team basketball.
A cheat-code athlete and a hollow trick bag is what Andrew Wiggins was when he entered the NBA. He was proclaimed Maple Jordan before he was even a twinkle in Kansas. If his straight-line drives to the rim could not be denied, he would be completely stymied. He had the tools to be an All-NBA defender, which is why he was the No. 1 pick.
The scene of the crime. In an instant, the destinies of Don and Wiggins collided at the rim on Sunday night when Don missed a closeout by Reggie Bullock and Wiggins lifted off from just inside the free throw line. Luka tried to act as a deterrent, but he was phased through by Wiggins.
You can view at your own discretion.
The American Airlines Center staff is still picking up pieces of Luka as of Monday morning, despite the fact that Wiggins sailed past him and flushed it with one hand. The time of death for Dallas was 6:38 in the fourth quarter. Steve Kerr challenged the call and the charges were withdrawn.
Over the years, we have gotten used to the Warriors going nuclear. The detonation was personal. Oxygen levels inside the arena dropped after the third quarter and the series is now basketball death.
He should be on a wanted poster with the rest of Golden State's Death Lineup, who were on the floor for that dunk.
You could hit them all with a RICO charge for their willingness to help set up Luka's demise. Draymond Green set a screen at the top of the key that Curry used to blow past. Luka was dragged into the paint by Curry's drive. Curry kicked it out to the other player.
Curry had 31 points and 11 assists. In addition to his 27 points and 11 rebound, Wiggins also had six offensive boards.
Don reflected on the dunk and said that he got hit a little bit, but that was impressive. I saw the video again and I was excited. That was amazing. I would love to have those bunnies.
Draymond Green's smash mouth style of play and Kevon Looney's vertical defense are counter to the Splash Brothers' perimeter gravity. Since Robert Downey Jr. joined the Avengers, a team-up hasn't been this big for anyone.
The Death Lineup had a big run in the first half. Klay Thompson came in at 4:08 and Dallas was up by nine. They went on a furious run, taking the lead at the 1:51 mark, and never relinquished it.
Luka is working with European guards. If he is going to break through in the West, he needs better athletes around him. The Mavs team feels similar to the. They're led by a few overachievers such as Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie, but they're also on the bench mob in Miami, Golden State or Boston.
In the regular season and playoffs, Dallas attempted less field goal attempts than any other team, but they made more 3-pointers than any other team. In Game 3, all four of them missed all 14 of their attempts. The nail was hammered into the coffin with a corner 3 inside the final minute of regulation by Jordan Poole. The Mavericks have the seeds of a championship-caliber unit, but the Warriors are still a few years away.
