That looked like an achilles for Adams just now, not an ankle. Aldridge is in MVP mode right now

I would trade Neil and Terry for Ainge and Stevens ten out of ten times. But I'd trade Dame for Kyrie zero out of ten times.

Kyrie is overrated. Good player but definitely overrated and it’s because of his popularity and being known for his handles.
 
Wow... that was a crazy game between SA and OKC just looking at the box score:

SA shot 16/19 on three pointers for an incredible 84%.

LMA had 56 points making all 16 of his free throws and shooting no three pointers.

Westbrook with 24 points, 24 assists and 13 rebounds for the insane triple double.

That is just utter insanity. I wonder if thats the highest % for a team that has shot over 18 3ps in a game.

OMG....The Celts have 1 less loss than us and they were the run away favorites the East, since James left.
They've had so much more tom work with the last 5 years than any team in the assoc. maybe they should consider that Ainge & Stevens aren't all that great as compared to mediocre guys like Neil & Terry.

Ainge and Stevens are definitely overrated. Why would anyone want Stevens over Stotts? Celtics are loaded with talent and they’re 5th in the East.

Apparently, the Spurs made their first 14 threes. Also- Aldridge scoring 56 without shooting a three must be a record in the modern NBA.
 
Spurs seem to be playing a very intelligent brand of basketball right now. The reason why they can go 16/19 from three is because they virtually do not take shots from bad positions. They only attempt threes when they are very confident they can make it.

Yet they got a 2-seed last year when Kyrie and Hayward were out, and you said they were better without them, but also said Steven's was overrated...

Compare their roster before IT and now... they have talent to contend with a lot of great young talent and many more picks coming.

Their record through half a season doesnt mean anything.

Most points without a three-point attempt since Shaq in March 2000 (61). Also the only 50+ pt, 0 3pa game since 2000 that wasn't also a double-double.

Because I only sought a relevant timeline, searching when 3's were commonly taken.

Also, I wasn't looking for the most without a 3pa, simply the most recent game above Aldridge's. My query was perfect for that for which I was searching.

And of course, I was first. :ghoti:

Actually Barkley made a comment on the halftime show. He said "The Spurs have a great plan on three point shooting. They don't let guy shoot them unless they can make them". Seriously at halftime not one starter had even attempted a three point shot. By the end of the game the starters only attempted 6 making 4 of them. Mills, Bertans and Belly Nelly attempted 13 and made 12 of them by the end of the game.

The Spurs are starting to look like a Pop coached team again. If you don't have them in the hunt this season you are not paying attention. LaMarcus is without question an All-Star. I have watched the Spurs play about 6 games this season. All of them against either Golden State, Houton or OKC with i think one of them against the Lakers. Without question in every game Aldridge was the most dominant player on the court. Say what you want about the Blazers but losing LaMarcus was a giant step back. If they had him on the roster the Blazers would be a contender.

I refuse to "like" this post, because I hate how dead-on accurate it is.
