Best part about the dunk is the sound of the rim. So violent.

It’s such a shame there was no audience to see that live. I love crowd reactions to those.

That's one of the most absurd dunks I've ever seen I think. Would have been funny if the ref just called him for stepping out of bounds. Do twitter videos suck for anyone else? It literally plays fine until Edwards catches the pass, then buffers for his entire drive, then it resumes after his dunk is finished.

Might be the best dunk of the last five years lol.

I'd maybe go as far as the past 8 years, ever since DeAndre jammed on Brandon Knight.

That was my thought too on the crowd. Building would have exploded. Poor Watanabe. Could have been known as a Japanese player who scratched and clawed his way to the NBA. Not anymore lol.

Lonzo with 21 and 12. He’s been absurd lately. Also has higher block % than Vucevic.

Wild those dunks were only a week apart. That was actually Jason Terry, for anyone confused by the title.

Rob had a hammer on someone in a game against the spurs but I can't remember if it was last season or this season. I really don't know how these guys recover when someone does them like that, that's why LBJ made them find and get rid of any footage of him getting dunked on back in the day. Remember that was Jordan Crawford's claim to fame? Sweaty giblets all on your soul!

Wow, Scary Terry with the buzzer-beating game-winner against the Warriors. He's been great all season.

Just looked up. Terry is shooting 46% from 3 but it may go even higher after his 9-12 from 3 tonight.

H Barnes not playing again and Sac on pace to lose 6 in a row. FWIW

I'm keeping an eye on Bertans.

He could be a potential trade target for the Celts.

You would think a dude who cost his team a championship by not keeping his emotions in check would have learned by now how to control his emotions in key moments. Watching Terry hit those two FTs and then drain the game winner was so satisfying lol

The Great Max Strus missing five open threes in the 4th as the Lakers make their comeback. 1/9 from the field. 0/8 from three. LOL.

Celtics fans would've fired Spo on the spot for not taking him out. Lakers defense ignoring Strus in the last couple of shots.

Meanwhile Struss is 60% and 50% in his last 10 and shooting 42 % for the year from 3.

Strus > Edwards Waters Green Teague :wink:

Meanwhile Herro back to the bench and only scored 5 points.

Of course that is 5 more than Romeo scored all season..

I kind of wanted him last season. Luke warm at best now.
