73 points in the 1st half, 19 in the 2nd. And I thought the Blazers had some wild swings! That's an nba record.

That record is not going to be broken for a long time. Both scoring stats are incredible feats on their own, let alone to occur in the same game by the same team.

Almost unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it in an NBA game. It's not like OKC played lights out on defense, either.

Howard has become a non-factor.

11 points and 8 boards? Wow.......

The refs were pretty much fucking him all night, though. He was in foul trouble from the get go.

Um, no.

Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

Amazing. Missed the game. 19 in one half?? Details!

Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

Okay, wrap your head around this:

Omar Casspi: 0 points, 1 rebound, 0 assists... hell, he didn't even put up a shot. Only guy in the + side of the +/- for Houston at +11. In 6 minutes.

We need PHX to force OT. Down by 3 to DAL, 6 mins left.

The David Stern method of increasing scores isn't as much fun as ours.

On a related note, Melo had 26pt/20reb tonight. He was 4/23, and 16/16 from the FT line.

There was only 3 fouls in the first quarter.

Then Tony Brothers decided to take over the game.

Fucking Tony Brothers....

Hes making a case to dethrone Violet Palmer as the worst overall official I've ever seen in my entire life at any level in any sport.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

the average Tony Brothers game has 4.1 more FTs than the rest of the officials this year
