Around the NBA - March 2017

[KingSpeed]

Curry could have easily drived to the rim if that dumbass wasn't so locked on taking a 3 tho

But he took and made that shot all season long.

Did you know that the Suns fielded a starting five that was younger than some of the sweet sixteen teams?

Umm, Alex Len is almost 24. Did BYU make the Sweet 16 this year?

Thanks, interesting data.

With so many of the "best" college players going one and done, I'm surprised the best teams aren't younger. Is this a one time anomaly? I wonder how the average age of this year's Sweet 16 teams compares to the Sweet 16 teams from the recent past.

Yes, it was very surprising for me also.

Devin Booker scored 70 tonight. He's 21 fucking years old.......21!!!!!

Wow. Holy shit.

 

[Strenuus]

Devin Booker scored 70 tonight. He's 21 fucking years old.......21!!!!!

Holy shit. That's fucking nuts. AND THEY LOST.

 

[Strenuus]

If someone can link Giannas' Antentakumpos Dunk from tonight... holy shit...

 

[Strenuus]

Also... Bookers' game.. They were down 22-3 at one point:

With 4:45 seconds left in the 1st quarter.

THREE points for the team to start the first 7 minutes and change.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Holy shit. That's fucking nuts. AND THEY LOST.

Ya, they are garbage. He's pretty good though

 

[Cippy91]

Looking at box score. How did he get 26 shots at the free throw line?! 24 of his 70 came from the line. Crazy. Put up 40 shots in total.

 

[Strenuus]

Ya, they are garbage. He's pretty good though

He did it all... even posted someone up.

He'll be good in a couple years - hopefully he doesn't have the MCW downfall when he got his double nickel in Milwaukee .

I counted 4 and ones by themselves.

You're thinking of Brandon Jennings.

70 is amazing considering he was only 4/11 from 3. But as Strenuus said, I can't believe they lost!

One is from Syracuse, and one is Devin Booker. He will be fine

He just dropped 70 and he'll be good in a couple of years? You don't drop 70 unless you are a stud.

I am. Good call. I was thinking of MCW's Triple Double against the heat in the opener - my bad.

 

[Strenuus]

LET ME UNDERSELL A MAN EVERY NOW AND THEN....

Out of context - that sounds really bad.

 

[KingSpeed]

I am. Good call. I was thinking of MCW's Triple Double against the heat in the opener - my bad.

It wasn't a triple double. A near quadruple double though with 9 assists and 9 steals.

 

[KingSpeed]

But they lost. I'm not totally sold.

 

[Rhal]

He is going to be a great scorer, not sure what else he is going to be. He is 20 so he has plenty of room to grow in every aspect of his game if he cares enough to do other things then just shoot.

Again, "going to be"?

 

[Rhal]

Again, "going to be"?

I should have said a more efficient scorer since he is avging over 20ppg even though its on a lot of shots and not great %s.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

70 is impressive but it was from a horrible defender so it shouldn't be a big deal...

(I could see some chumps on here saying this if Dame scored 70)

 

[SIeepwalker]

It wasn't a triple double. A near quadruple double though with 9 assists and 9 steals.

I believe he had 12 assist, but only 7 rebounds (and yes I'm too lazy to check)

[julius]

He's a 20 year old who just scored 70??!

has that ever been done??

Wilt scored 71 points his rookie year I believe. But he was 22 or 23 yeas old.
