Remember that awesome dunk by Alex Poythress in the second half? It was so awesome Poythress got his too stuck on the net on the way down:

All I can say is maybe he should start dunking with his mouth closed. Alex does have a knack for power slamming dunks.
 
That's crazy...i'm glad he was all right. Did not notice it at the time. It was good to see Alex start to elevate higher and higher with each jump.

I saw it when it happened. Made his landing really anticlimactic because he was trying to see if he'd lost a tooth, poor guy! The pictures are hilarious though!!

Also...can someone post the GIF of Poy punching I-zack in the stomach? I laughed so hard at that. Humphries does something good, Poy gives him a punch to the chest/stomach and Humphries gives him the WTF face because Poy apparently doesn't know his own strength.

Viscous Dunk!

Equally as impressive is how Murray set it up with the behind-the-back dribble splitting two defenders. You hear Bilas using Cal's catch-phrase, "Are you kidding me?"

That was hilarious. Humphries was obviously in a bit of pain after that.
 
That was an impressive dunk. I actually thought his athleticism was a little down on a few plays when jumping straight up...shots that he has typically dunked in the past he didn't really finish very strong. Hopeful that this will improve with time to pre-ACL level.

We he is running or slashing to the basket, as he was on that dunk, his lift seems just fine (obviously).

Where he seems to lack explosion at the moment is on the second jump. So, when he would get a rebound and then try to elevate again immediately, he had trouble getting the ball over the rim sometimes. Any doctors, or anyone suffer an ACL tear and know why that would be?
