Wemby Was FRIGHTENING Last Night...

Wemby was absolutely frightening last night. Giannis also hosted a block party in Miami. And Jalen Duren showed us that he finally moved past the drama. So, let's start in San Antonio where the alien was doing some extra terrestrial stuff. Wemby dominated the paint on both ends against Maluag and the shorthanded Suns. Just throw it up there and he'll put it in the rim. Carter Bryant also impressed me with the locked down defense on Goodwin here, blocking him twice in 3 seconds. And he got rewarded for his hustle on the other end. The Spurs have so many options it's scary. So in the second quarter, things only got worse for the Suns. Oh my goodness, De'Aaron Fox explodes to the rack with a huge poster dunk, igniting the entire arena. And Dylan Harper wanted to do the same on this play, but… Maluag got him on this one, but the sophomore Dynamo was determined to rock the rim soon. Jeez, look at the arm extension on that angry putback jam. That was vicious. So, after Fox and Harper had their cool moments, it was time for Victor to take over again. After doing some light work with back-to-back dunks on the offensive end, Wembanyama extends as much as possible to finger block the three-point attempt by Fleming. That's amazing. But wait till you see what he did in the second half. After torturing Fleming in the first half, Wemby put Drop-Wreath in his little pocket in the third quarter as well. Dunk after dunk and another freakish block on a three-pointer. He's not fair. In 23 minutes of action, he put up 19 points on 9 of 14 from the field, 7 of which were dunks. Good luck to the rest of the league. And another superstar that's on a mission is Giannis. He was a beast last night against Brooklyn. Wow, check out the volleyball block on Clowney bouncing the ball off his head and then bulldozing through the defense for the finger roll finish, saying, I'm too strong. And a few minutes later, he was back at producing highlights. That was a ridiculous block right there, having to go under the rim in order to get the ball. while on the other end, he went above and beyond. One-on-one in transition, just forget it. The Greek freak is unstoppable. In 24 minutes on the floor, Giannis filled up the box score with 20 points on 80% efficiency to go along with 15 rebounds, 3 blocks and 9 assists. None more beautiful than this one. The end of the no-look lob to Nick Richards for the power jam. And while we're at bigs throwing lobs, here is Jalen Duren putting in the work on both ends in his first game back after the drama. Duren just He snatches the ball away from Rudy, runs the floor like a point guard and sets up Thompson with the alley-oop. That's a different element to his game, and Gobert had no idea how to stop him in the first period. Meanwhile on the other end, the 22-year-old All-Star continued to make an impact. But the real show started in the second quarter because… After trailing by 9 points in the first, the Pistons, led by Durant, totally flipped the script in the second with an array of rim-rocking dunks. He racked up 24 points on a blistering 8 of 9 from the field in just 15 minutes of playing time. That's outstanding. And speaking of that, this sequence by the Celtics made him look dangerous. First the alley-oop dunk for Mitchell Robinson and then the steal and the slick behind the back pass from PG to Tatum for the finish. Robinson had a rock solid game with 12 points, 7 boards and 3 blocks on a perfect 5 for 5 the field. And JT looked ready to lead his team. That fadeaway was smooth as butter. Jason Tatum had a nice overall game of 19 points, 8 boards, 6 assists, and 2 steals in an easy win over Charlotte. On the contrary, nothing came easy for the Nuggets in LA. went one of six from the field and the one crazy pass he threw to Gordon wound up as a miss. But that's nothing to worry about compared to this. Julian Strother fell down awkwardly on his knee and had to leave the game in obvious pain. He's having an MRI today and everyone's hoping for the best. In 4 games so far, Strother averaged 13 points on 46% shooting from the field and a great 43% from downtown. It's such a bummer for this to happen right before the season starts. And it sure is a bummer when you get a dunk, the ball bounces off your nose and on top of that it didn't even count. You gotta check out why that is right here in this video. Talk to you in the next one, peace out.
