Your an embarrassment as a mod, with your goofy ass
:mjlol:

As talented as Portland is, they shoot too many fukking 3s, cot damn, drive the fukking ball :what:

Damn Blazers didn’t cover the spread :francis:



:mjtf:

You know their is something called a mid-range right, which GTJ, Hood & Melo are good at. Plus Kanter is a bucket in the paint.

I was referring to Dame settling for 3s dikkhead

:devil:
:evil:

Will be interesting how Denver performs this first half of February.

From tonight through Feb 14th they got Mavs, Jazz, Lakers (twice), Bucks, and Celtics.. plus some decent/scrappy teams like the Hornets, Hawks, and Spurs

I love how any time a current player breaks a record, it has to be because the league is watered down. Like they couldn't possibly be extremely talented in their own right :skip:

Also that's the most points in the shot clock era by a player that played less than 20 minutes total in a game. It's not like he's the first player to ever score that many points in 19 minutes of game time. Those guys just ended up playing more minutes by the end of the night.
Let's keep it real though. Its FAR easier to score in today's league. Thats why folks think its watered down. Jaylen is good, but in general you're seeing alot of average dudes put up superstar stat lines. 40 point games used to mean something. You could feel the difficulty now its like whatever.

Picking a random year, 24 players had a 40+ point game in 2005-06. Among those players are Mike Bibby, Jason Richardson, Michael Redd, Rashard Lewis, Richard Jefferson, Mike Miller, Gerald Wallace, Charlie Villanueva, Rip Hamilton.

Picking another random year, 27 players had a 40+ point game in 1995-96. Among those players are Juwan Howard, Acie Earl, Vernon Maxwell, Tracy Murray, Cliff Robinson, Bobby Phills, Todd Day, Rik Smits, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Robert Horry.

Now sure, you can say that the pace, 3pt attempt rate and defensive rule changes has made scoring going up. But at no point in NBA history has a player ever had to be some type of superstar or top 10-15 player to put up big numbers in a game. To believe otherwise is revisionist history. And that also doesn’t mean that any player that goes off today only did it because the league is “watered down”.
