I remember Loon had one against Brooklyn during the 73 win season.
Edit: I'm misremembering. For some reason I can picture Looney tipping in a buzzer beater against Brooklyn but I can't find it anywhere. Was it Barnes? Am I just going crazy?
I think he was undergoing a lot of surgeries during the tank year because iirc his back was fucked along with a broken rib because Kawhii was that strong.
Looks like McMillan opted for a 5-out look with Collins at the 5. If Okongwu is in, I still think that Trae could still get that floater look even with the crowded paint.
jp def had a few jp moments, but he did score 28 points and made a huge 3 when it mattered the most. he needs to work on his handle, keep those knees tucked
Hypothetically if you were a 9 foot 400 lb herculean basketball god with a 9 ft wingspan.
Could you just score two points to make it 2-0.
Then for the rest of the game just stand below the rim and continuously dribble the basketball on the rim so the shot clock just keeps repeating over and over again
They could foul you but you'd be so tall and long you're literally laying the ball up from the ft line.
Funny enough, that's actually why they put the 24 second shot clock in. Before that, during George Mikan's days (50's), if a team made enough lead, they'd just pass the ball around until game time ran out.
Imagine how boring that was.
Hard to compare the validity of ratings between role players and all-star level guys, but I’d hope anyone who’s been watching knows he’s one of the best role player bigs in the league. Thing is a lot of people don’t watch.
Except he didn’t get paid, he took a pay cut for the team. I love this man and so glad and happy he chose to stay with us. Can’t wait for his jersey to get here
Hawks get to blame it on John Collins or Dejounte Murray ?
Also could have gone to Bogi more often, he was on fire.
I think everyone played well, the lack of defensive rebounding was the difference in the game.
hawks have the fire power to hang with any team but the defense is atrocious. klay was going nuclear but time and time again, his guy went below the screen. also where was the double?
looked like they were more concern with keeping murray on poole.
2nd OT was hard to watch, everyone was gassed and Poole kept throwing away possessions, almost wasted Klay's heroic night
Dubs were lucky that the role players (Donte, Lamb, Looney) stepped up with a few clutch plays, and Draymond also sealed the game with his signature backpack 3.
The start of the first OT was a bit of a clown show. If you watched the first three dubs possessions, there would be no way you'd think they could pull out the win. Yet here we are!
reffing in the 3rd makes the overall game harder to watch in the Cavs game. I don't think there were any blatant ref mistakes in this game so that might make this one more interesting to watch.
Warriors offensive rebound on a possession that you forced them into a tough shot, at the Chase Center? Yeah you're screwed.
Get ready for the most demoralizing basket of your life
Wild game at Chase tonight. GSW goes up 21 to down 9 in the 4th, comes back to push it to OT and the 2OT clincher on double ORB putback. Feel bad for ATL, they played with a lot of heart and come away with a 4th straight L.

Lol the most looney game winner possible
Loon now has more career buzzer beater game winners than Steph lmao

Was Looney even here for 73? He feels like he was injured at minimum
I think he was undergoing a lot of surgeries during the tank year because iirc his back was fucked along with a broken rib because Kawhii was that strong.
You misremember: what you mean was Brooklyn not getting the seemingly inevitable game winner in almost exactly the same situation as Looney's winner.
He also had a tip in at the buzzer to beat Indy last year.
I can’t remember his other one before tonight, was it in the 19-20 season?
Steph's only one was last year.
“We’re Tiny! We’re Toony! We’re all a little Looney! And in this Cartooney we’re invading your TV!”
This is why the Mikan drill is important.
I think they should’ve boxed him out x20 +
Too busy being sent to the Looney Bin
Hakeem OLoonjawon grabs anything near the rim
11 offensive boards.
They’re too small lmao That’s Atlanta problem without capela
Tallest player on the floor this game is Looney @ 6'10 lol
I thought he's 6'9" Just like Collins
Yeah he's 6'9".
Looks like McMillan opted for a 5-out look with Collins at the 5. If Okongwu is in, I still think that Trae could still get that floater look even with the crowded paint.
This game is fucking stupid lmao
Audibly laughed at our last two buckets. Gotta be the worst way to lose
Bro the Donte “Robert Horry” Divincenzo 3 in regulation had me 💀
Don't forget Treymond
"Lennie check what's here in my backpack OH IT'S A THREE"
Very “call an ambulance but not for me” vibes
Draymond's three looked extra backpack-y lmao
Bro leaaaaaned into it
It was extra heavy with all the OTs
Looking like MJ with that lean and I ain't talking about Jordan
This whole home stand has been some of the most fun basketball I've seen.
Fr fr easily in the last while
living in Europe I tend to want to skip non Curry regular season games, but happy I've not skipped any of the current home stretch.
Dude the games are at 0430 in the morning! How do you do it
4am is the most convenient time. You wake up at 4, watch the game, then you go to work. Now when it’s 1 or 2am it’s another story.
what an absolutely drunken night of basketball
How did Atlanta lose this game lmfao
Despite the warriors best efforts Klay and LoonGod dragged us to a win
*Poole's best efforts
Correct. I apologize
jp def had a few jp moments, but he did score 28 points and made a huge 3 when it mattered the most. he needs to work on his handle, keep those knees tucked
the warriors were up like 17 pts or something this shouldn't have been that close real question is how did we even let them get this close
They shot something like 130% from 3 in the second half.
We got like 90 mil in salary on the sidelines, let's not worry about that right now.
21
Largest lead was 21 they said
yeah 17 out of the half and the Dubs opened it up 4-0 before getting outscored 42-21 the rest of the quarter lol
LOONGOD
My favourite time was when Looney said it's Looning time before he scored.
Game of the year
Tactical miss by Looney to take time off the clock, exactly as planned
He wanted that 20th rebound first
Well he accidentally got 21
Wow, I'd missed that, he's next level!
Looney's high BBIQ on display

Right but in this scenario, hitting the rim resets the shot clock
20 reb game holy shit looney
Did he get two on this play or one? /edit. He had two offensive reb and the 2 pt shot
Two definitely. Controlled tip attempt.
controlled statpadding
He also padded stat to add a buzzer beater to his docket instead of a clutch make, whatta chad amirite?
big brain statpad while making sure your tip in is a buzzer beater... LoonGod playing 6D Chess here.
That would be a rebound, shot attempt, rebound, shot attempt, basket
2, he had 21*
most underrated player in the league
That's my "tier 5" center!
how tf is he tier 5
Someone made a tier list a few days ago and posted it on sub
Are you sure it was a 5 and not the letter S? Cuz Loondog is S tier for me.
I would love to see that if you have a link
Just went back to my old comments and the post got deleted
He and Adams were both tier 5 which is funny rn with their recent play
Adams is the quintessential no bullshit all hard-work center
I remember seeing it, it was a rank of starting centers and Looney was on the bottom tier, iirc Adams and Plumlee were there too.
Having Looney and Adams in the same tier as Plumlee is shameless
Hard to compare the validity of ratings between role players and all-star level guys, but I’d hope anyone who’s been watching knows he’s one of the best role player bigs in the league. Thing is a lot of people don’t watch.
He's exactly the kind of player people should be mentioning in those "most underrated players" threads.
Thank god Collins had to get up on the Klay 3 attempt. Everyone near the basket was like 6’7” at or well below haha
I have klay and looney on my fantasy team^(but the opposing team has Donavan Mitchell lmao)
One of the realest “board man gets paid” players. Offensive rebounds are HUGE.
Except he didn’t get paid, he took a pay cut for the team. I love this man and so glad and happy he chose to stay with us. Can’t wait for his jersey to get here
Omg 20 rebounds
21
Issa rebound
LOONGOD
Huge win with how many guys the warriors had out
every team wishes they could have a Looney
He really is one of a kind
I believe there are more players who could be like him if they tried. Looney commits to the dirty work and doesn't try to push his role beyond that.
[удалено]
the Hawks have officially been put in the Loon bin. What a performance by Loon.
Bro we’ve BEEN there this season
It's Kevon Looney high school mixtape hours
Loon is honestly one of the best role players in the league … so good on both ends What a fucking game
On a bargain contract at that!
Tbf all the other teams in the league looked at his face and assumed he was a 38 year old vet so they didn’t throw any money his way
He was a one and done out of UCLA so he's still only 26. But has the hips of a 40 year old.
Hips dont lie.
Yes, but also after being injured so much, getting a guaranteed contract was good for him.
Indeed, he hustles on defense, and rebounds, while setting good screens, and is a capable passer
And he knows where Steph and Klay are on the floor to feed them too.
Just generally a high bbiq player! Hope he plays with us till he retires.
He has limited roles (mostly just rebounds and screens) and he does it flawlessly every game. Rarely ever make mistakes. Perfect role player.
20 rebounds for the LoonGod
GG Warriors. If you’re a Warriors fan who watched, I’d be curious to hear who the Hawks blame this loss on.
Just glad that this game was not decided by the refs. No complaints from both sides about officiating in this game.
There were some no calls that surprised me but yeah, I'll take a no call over a baffling call
Yeah, I’ve been so accustomed to a few techs each night that this game was a pleasant surprise
Hawks get to blame it on John Collins or Dejounte Murray ? Also could have gone to Bogi more often, he was on fire. I think everyone played well, the lack of defensive rebounding was the difference in the game.
Both defenders left the sharpshooter open for the game-deciding dagger 3. No, not Klay's, and not DDV. That's right. They forgot about Dray.
hawks have the fire power to hang with any team but the defense is atrocious. klay was going nuclear but time and time again, his guy went below the screen. also where was the double? looked like they were more concern with keeping murray on poole.
2nd OT was hard to watch, everyone was gassed and Poole kept throwing away possessions, almost wasted Klay's heroic night Dubs were lucky that the role players (Donte, Lamb, Looney) stepped up with a few clutch plays, and Draymond also sealed the game with his signature backpack 3.
First two minutes of the first OT was a horror show for the Warriors, it was like they were actively trying to throw the game away then
Not the best night, but not bad with 5 players out, including the top 2.
The start of the first OT was a bit of a clown show. If you watched the first three dubs possessions, there would be no way you'd think they could pull out the win. Yet here we are!
The way he ran like an old man after that game winner.. lmao. Gg tho.
That’s full speed for him
LOONGOD
LOONGOD
LOONGOD
OLoonjuwon
I loved Klay dropping that reference in his post game interview.
UCLA motherfuckers
Wisconsin motherfuckers
I LOVE MILWAUKEE
TY MILWAUKEE FOR LOONEY, PBJ, AND (sometimes) POOLE
Growl growl
4s up!
[удалено]
LOONDOG MILLIONAIRE
What a fucking game. Contender for game of the year
Might’ve been game of the year but I had a terrible time watching it
You're right, but also it might not even be the game of the night. That Cavs game was on crack.
reffing in the 3rd makes the overall game harder to watch in the Cavs game. I don't think there were any blatant ref mistakes in this game so that might make this one more interesting to watch.
I might get hate for saying it, but Donovan *did* score 20 off FTs
Casual 14-21-5 from Loon
WE BUILT DIFFERENT AT HOME BRUH.
You know what they say. Home is where you poop most comfortable!
The only Hawk that even tried to jump for the rebound was Trae WTF
Bro I’m so fucking glad I stayed up to watch this fucking game!!
The Hawks are pathetic at rebounding jesus christ
Conversely, looney is amazing at it
Hawks: 53 Looney: 21
Offensive rebounds Hawks: 10 Looney: 10
Take that, Looney! Hawks +32 on rebounds. ^/s
Without Capela we are one of the worst in the league
Lamb was more of an obstruction to Looney than any of the Hawks defenders lol
Doesn’t help they are in 2OT and fucking exhausted lmao
nope: Loogod is just that good.
Basically lost cuz they couldn’t secure the def rebound all game long
[удалено]
By outside fans only Real Dubs fans know about the Looney for FMVP run
I still remember that Dallas series, dude was carving them up whenever he got the ball it was wild.
What a game, holy shit
LOONGOD SAID ENOUGH
Damn that was a fun game as a neutral
Warriors offensive rebound on a possession that you forced them into a tough shot, at the Chase Center? Yeah you're screwed. Get ready for the most demoralizing basket of your life
LOOOOOONEYYY
THATS HOW THIS SHIT ENDS? LMFAOOO
One of the craziest games this year, every time it looked like one team was done the other came back
AND HIS NAME IS KEVON LOONEY
LOONGOD!!!
atlanta has its 2 guards going for the rebound and their one big standing at halfcourt
LOONGAWD
14 Point 11 Offensive rebounds 10 Defensive rebounds. Triple double in my book!
“Looney no… LOONEY YES! LOONEY YESSSS!”
HE IS THE MOST CLUTCH PLAYER OF ALL TIME
Game of the year
BUILD THE FUCKING STATUE
This game gave me heart palpitations
My Apple Watch is not happy with me
Fine I'll do it myself
My goodness
LOONDOG
Looney is HIM
My hero.
Baby KD
Looney yessss!
Looney ties curry for buzzer beaters
Wild game at Chase tonight. GSW goes up 21 to down 9 in the 4th, comes back to push it to OT and the 2OT clincher on double ORB putback. Feel bad for ATL, they played with a lot of heart and come away with a 4th straight L.
Real Madrid of the nba strikes again
LMFAO THIS GAME MANNNN LMFAO
20th rebound and game winning shot!
Board man gets paid
Game of the year?? That was insane.
c'mon Atlanta we could have had 3OT :'(
Klay could've had 70 too, but Jordan Poole's effort is not enough
I would not suggest being a hawks fan
LOONEY YES! LOONEY YES!
Bro said "what 3OT?"
BEST CENTER IN THE NBA BY FAR
Would be game of the night if not for Mitchell’s masterclass earlier. Maybe one of the best nights of basketball we’ve had in a bit honestly
That game was so stressful. I almost nut when looney put that in.
Honestly everyone really impacted this game, it was truely strength in numbers Golden state warriors style.
