But he did not have a 60/21/10 game.

But he apparently did have a 50/30/10 game, so I think I might elevate that over Luka.

 

[MickZagger]

I believe Nate is in the hall of fame sir.

He was aiight. But is a top 75 of all timer?

 

[MickZagger]

I don't want to nitpick a great performance but it was the Knicks without Brunson or Barrett and they took him into OT where Luka gets 7 points and 2 rebounds. Just some context. The Knicks didn't have their two best perimeter players and Doncic got a stat boost from OT against that roster.

Brunson one of their best perimeter defenders? He’s probably one of their worst. He’s been a complete liability defensively since he joined the league.

Correct. Most triple doubles have come in different forms and fashions.

To judgmental in my view. I don’t care who was out there. That was one of the best performances we’ve ever seen. Luka is an amazing player.

Ja is a great player no question but he probably should just let his play do the talking.

LOL...yeah, the Portland stuff starts at about 5:55 and all three guys are laughing about that contract in disbelief...after all these years

 

[THE HCP]

March 18th, 1968, Wilt put up the following
-53 points
-32 rebounds
-14 assists
-24 blocks
-11 steals
Amazingly the league didn’t count blocks and steals back then, but these are unofficial numbers by the sideline stats crew that night.

But Dwight Jaynes said that contract wasn't a bad deal because it would have a bunch of value at the end. Who do we believe? Jaynes or the guy laughing about the contract?

Aaron Fentress continually made the same claim not just about that deal, but all the 2016 contracts.

Book out for 4 weeks. They've got a brutal schedule stretch ahead. Anything above .500 will be pretty solid for them.

Just suffered a wire-to-wire loss to the Washington Wizards with a final score of 127-102.

Miami tried to give the game away.......horrible rebounding in the 4th.

Dang. That has to be the worst game of all time. Negative 53 points? Negative 11 steals? Was he just handing the ball over on purpose? How do you even get Negative 24 blocks? Did he block his own shots with his off hand?

Ohhh, so you sat down at your computer video game table, brushed off the dust from your Cheeto stained fingertips, and said to yourself that since Luka is putting up historic numbers, our star can’t continue to do what he does on the regular…. Then hit POST REPLY while attempting to pat yourself on your back in acknowledgment of these words you stumbled thru typing. Nice work kid.

This would be funny, but there probably is like 15-20 of these dorks who thinks that’s what actually happened.

 

[Strenuus]

Can the triple double police let us know if he was “stat chasing” what ever that means?

That'd work as an argument if they aren't down 9 with 30 seconds left.

This doesn't even make sense. At all. Even if you tried to make it make sense, it wouldn't make sense.

 

[blazerfan11]

It took a career high by Zion Williamson for the 2nd place Pelicans to beat the 11th place Timberwolves in New Orleans. The game was close the whole way.
The distance in the standings is misleading this season.

It’s becoming clearer and clearer that Brooklyn’s problem was having Steve Trash as coach. They’ve been incredible since he was fired. 10 straight now, climbing the standings from play-in to #2 in East.

Let’s see how many people remember HOW they got the W April 9th, the last night of the season. Because we all know a CLOSE win doesn’t count as much as a blowout win right.
