150?! With out SGA?

[meter-man]

^^^DAMN! That's insane. Third highest ever? [Checked stats: nope. Didn't know about the other 70-plus pointers, except Wilt and Kobe's 81.]

Luka's streak at the end of December was bananas: "Doncic has now scored 50 points three times in the past five games in what is fast becoming one of the best scoring streaks of the modern era. Before this 51-point, six-rebound, nine-assist effort against the Spurs, there was the 50-point outing against the Houston Rockets on Dec. 23, and the historic 60-point triple double in the overtime win over the New York Knicks on Dec. 27. "

Giannis with 55 tonight!

My Bulls look sad and unable to fully dominate. Oh well. More like, willing to be dominated! See: Donovan Mitchell.

Fun year, other than that!

That Pistons v Warriors game was entertaining, two clutch threes providing the back and forth to end it. I’m pretty excited about the future of the Pistons. They’ve got a nice mixture of young talent and a few veterans to keep them in check. I’m hoping they keep Bogey and Alec past the deadline and see what the full team can do when Cade comes back next season.

Duren is a stud, he’s perfect to pair with Cade as a rim running lob threat. He’s going to be an automatic double double with some assists and blocks thrown in. Ivey has been having troubles with shot selection and getting caught in the air with no plan. Once he figures that shit out he’ll be deadly, he’s got the quickness and athleticism of Ja or Westbrook.

Bring on Victor or Scoot!

Donovan Mitchell scores 71 points in win and validates everything about trade for him.

What a player and what a guy. Love how he’s bought in so hard with the team and city.

That was pretty special. He's a great basketball player. Not only did he have 71 pts, he also had 11 assists so he was directly involved in something like 99 of the 145 pts scored that night. Jarrett Allen is also a beast and looked great in that Cavs v Bulls game. Fun team to watch!

I think it's pretty safe at this point to put the Gobert vs. Mitchell debate to bed.

[Adolf Allerbush]

The Blazers have entered the point in the season where they are extremely frustrating to watch and also very disappointing.

[plugboots]

It doesn’t matter how this game ends up there’s no way in hell the Celtics beat the Warriors four games out of seven.

[ötzi]

I dunno, the Celts played pretty shitty and still pulled it out.

[plugboots]

I think the W’s are in their heads.

I have no idea what the hell is going on with them and I think Steve Kerr feels the same. Never seen a team so good at home and so bad on the road before. A Finals re-match seems highly unlikely at this point... although it is a long season.

If the W’s get to the playoffs, and right now I think it’s actually a pretty big if, they’re gonna be very difficult to beat in a series. That’s why I said what I did during the Celtics game. They seemed to be toying and/or fucking around. They just don’t keep up the intensity.
They play intense defense for stretches, and then Steph or Jordan throws the ball to no one on 3 consecutive trips down. Kerr seems to watch in bemusement. So weird.

[TahoeJ]

I don’t think it’s a big if. Despite Curry missing all that time they’re currently the 6 seed.

[cat in january]

What’s going on with Philadelphia, are they a real title threat? Been on a serious heater. I don’t watch their games, but Tyrese Maxey is balling

Glenn will fuck it all up.

The Embeast went off last night...nice W.

He clearly wanted to make a statement against the reigning MVP. I’d say he made a good one with 47/18/5. PJ played some good D on Jokic in the 4th too. As much as you can shut a guy of his talents down, he did.

Hit him right in the draymonds!

Draymond isn't a nut puncher, he's a nut kicker. The GOAT nut puncher is CP3. It's kind of his thing.

[BmillsSkier]

Was CP3 that blatant?

[teleee]

In my mind draymond will always be associated with opponents nuts, CP3 is just an all around dick.

Anyone else surprised that Wiggins didn't make the all star game this year?

Better stats than last year, weird he didn't make it lol
