It's wild how infrequently I see someone dunk on someone in the NBA nowadays, the dunk is practically reduced to an open court thing now.

I'm thinking a UConn fan would note that the Blazers were down 66-62 with 6:05 remaining in the 3rd when Clingan came in. They scored 26 points in those 6 minutes and were up 8 when the 4th started. That is some mighty fine joggin', imo.

That said they could have benefited by having him on the floor during the last possession as there was no one one out there that could guard Wemby.
I’ll be the first one to high five a UConn guy in the NBA for the positive +/-. Not a lot of the + with him on the floor was because of Cling, it was because Grant couldn’t miss. Cling looked sluggish similar to November last year.

It’s weird, he broke up a lob, and based on the timing, I thought it should have been recorded as a block. I guess the official scorers disagreed. Oh well.

Kind of funny that if there's a deflected shot and someone else catches it, the deflector gets credit (a block), but if there's a deflected pass and someone else catches it, the catcher gets credit (a steal).
Speaking of not showing up in the box score, Andre Jackson getting some good run to start the NBA Cup semis for Milwaukee. He was a tremendous boon to my parlay involving 1st quarter Unders (both sides!). Then he went out and everyone started scoring. Nice to see Doc trust him in a big game and with a tough matchup like Trae Young.

Doing this in the NBA at 20, even if it’s on limited minutes, is absurd. No wonder our interior defense has suffered so much this year.

Just AJax in the NBA last night with 5 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals on 2-4 FG (1-1 from 3). He’s shooting 46% from 3 in the month of December and is at 38.1% on the season, higher than teammates Dame Lillard/Bobby Portis/Brook Lopez/Khris Middleton/Pat Connaughton although on much lower volume
Calcaterra got 8 G League minutes and had 5 points and 4 rebounds on 2-4 shooting. I lost track of which roster all the 2 Way guys are on, but Newton, Sanogo, Tyrese, Bouknight, and Joey’s teams all play today

With McCain’s injury, Castle is the now the odds on Rookie of the Year favorite on DraftKings at a tight +125.
Very encouraging for those of us holding juicy bet slips

Light day yesterday. Drummond with 9 points and 15 rebounds (throwback), and Tyrese had 3 points in 17 minutes. Andre plays today in the NBA Cup finals

Really there are monster dunks happening every day in the NBA. I watch the NBA Show on ESPN and see them every day. Dunks are still a big part of the game and posterized ones are still there.

Most of it was. All of sudden the other team couldn't score for some reason. And for some reason everybody on that team shoots better when Clingan is in the game. It's uncanny. It must be all luck.
UConn bruthas stick together. I love it.

Andre’s defense on SGA has been absolutely relentless. He can’t get a shot to fall, but Doc has been smart enough to leave him on the floor.
