That may speak more to Boston's defense than to Booker.Can't believe Devin Booker of all players scored 70 points.

Maybe last year.I thought they had one of the better defenses in the league.

70 points on 40 shots is pretty efficient lol
I hope they figure out a way to fix this. Obviously, we have players exploding certain rules to get to the line and aren't even making legitimate plays to score. The ones from the 3 point line off the screen and the ones where the shooter leans in after pump fakes are the worst ones.Yeah if 24 of them hadn't come from the free throw line
70 points on 40 shots no matter how many came from the line is efficient
wat
You still lose the possession when you get to the free throw line. They aren't bonus points.
I'm not saying it wasn't impressive, but it's the same ratio as scoring 23 points on 20 shots haha
But free throw attempts are much better than FG attempts.wat

I get what you are saying, but he still made 21 FG on 40 shots, so he still shot over 50% WHILE taking 40 shots. That's good, especially for a guard.wat

That's a good one, I can see both sides of that. When he's on he's definitely not but he's not consistent enough to be rated as highly as he is IMO.To me kyrie is overrated to me.
I always see him in people's top 5 pgs list but I find it hard to believe he's better than Wall, Paul, Lowry, Curry, RUSS, Dame, and Harden if he counts. Lebron made Mo Williams into an all star. Granted, Kyrie is better than Mo Williams ever was but there is obviously a history of Lebron making players much better than they really are.That's a good one, I can see both sides of that.

I went to Pelicans-Nuggets last night and holy fuck it was horrible. Pelicans demolished them even though they sat out Boogie (that pissed me off, really wanted to see an ejection), Nuggets were sleep walking out there. The unibrow had 31 and 15 in 3 quarters but the game was so out of hand he didn't even play in the 4th, so I couldn't even see a 45 point game or something. Blazers definitely nabbing that 8 spot
6x since 83 a player has scored 30+ pts in less than 30 min...AD has two of those instances

It's so nice not having him here in Portland. Dude has a unique skill set, but he was an awful fit here.Oh yeah and fuck Mason Plumlee
harden would do maybe the same, maybe slightly worse. he benefits heavily from having shooters so it really depends on what his hulk out mode is.I pose a question to the finest basketball minds in this thread:
If Russell Westbrook and James Harden would have switched teams with each other at the beginning of the season, how much of a different impact do you think they would have had on their respective teams considering the personnel and coaching contrasts?
The reasoning for this question is because I continually hear James Harden being pretty much confirmed as a lock for the MVP even though Westbrook is going to average a triple double, something that hasn't been done for decades, while carrying his rag tag group of misfits into the playoffs. I wonder who is truly more valuable. Would Harden be able to do the same with that group on the Thunder, and if Westbrook was on the Rockets, do you think they win more games or less than they are right now with Harden on their team?
that's why the Cavs are so shitty on D. he's not that guy anymore outside of the playoffs, but he's old and doesn't have to beLebron is that guy still. The Spurs are still a playoff team that could compete without Kawhi, I don't think the Cavs are.
Lebron has missed about 20 or so regular season games in the three years that he has been back in Cleveland and the Cavs are like 4-16 in those games.
Nobody is on Lebrons level on a team wide scale.
The Sacramento Kings have expressed exploratory interest in former Philadelphia 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie, according to league sources.
Sources told ESPN.com that Kings owner Vivek Ranadive sought and received permission directly from Sixers counterpart Josh Harris to speak with Hinkie.
Sources say Hinkie has long intrigued Ranadive, whose franchise has been thrust into a rebuilding mode not unlike Philadelphia’s status under Hinkie in the wake of trading DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans.
