Did we break some sort of record for missed dunks this year? I'm amazed that a 7'0" guy could miss an uncontested dunk.
How many missed dunks?

Mahmoud is an oddity in that regard. He MUST have really tiny hands. But that still doesn't explain his missed two handed dunks. Sure is puzzling.
The missed dunks have been frustrating to watch all season. Jaylen missed several this season as well as Anas.
I'm going to have nightmares about the two missed dunks from Anas today. You have to finish those.

Same here. Then Anas compounded it by hanging on the rim. I think even he was like how did I miss that?
I don't think you can question anybody's coaching in regards to players missing dunks. The player simply has to know HIS limitations better. I think Padgett's influence can be seen in Mathiang and Johnson developing inside moves. They both use that jump hook in the lane effectively that was a trademark of Padgett's game.
You think Padgett is to blame for 7 footers missing dunks? Just curious - how does one teach dunking?
That was weird today. Mahmoud has no trouble getting up, I've seen him block shots well above the rim - but on those 2 missed dunks today it was like he got just the bare minimum elevation to get the ball over the rim. Jump 3 inches higher and he makes both.
Goes back to toughness. A 7 footer who can dribble like a guard, pass behind his back, and wink while swishing free throws - yet he fails to go up strong around the rim. He'll learn from it.
If you don't have the intention of breaking the backboard, that's something that can happen.
Anas' dunks are like overhand finger rolls.
Correct. Shouldn't have to. BUT, you do not have to bring them back on their free ride.
