When was the last time a Blazers starting backcourt combined for 72 or more points?
 
The closest since then was January 10th, 2010 when Andre Miller and Jerryd Bayless combined for 69 against the mavs

Again, nice find and I would have never guessed that.

Is that when 'dre went for 52pts?
 
Chris, are you using statmuse? I can't get the question to register correctly.
 
Wow... Dame didnt go on the right side much. lol. Wonder if that was matchup involved?

I love that one in the top right, though. The "fuck you" shot.
 
Excuse me forgot bout Roy's 52... On December 18th, 2008 He combined with Blake for 74...so that was the last time...then Damon and Nick

Clyde the Glide Drexler and Terry Porter combined for 72 on January 6th, 1989 vs sacramento
 
From there Geoff Petrie and Rick Adelman combined for 65 on March 16th, 1973 against the rockets
 
59 combined for Geoff Petrie and Charlie Daniels on January 20th, 1973 and for Lillard and Matthews on December 19th, 2014 against the rockets and spurs respectively.
 
So 72 + for our backcourt has happened less then a handful of times...rare
 
With 61 combined points, Lillard and McCollum have the 5th best game for a Blazers backcourt

Yeah I was surprised to look at the box score; saw in the broadcast how Lillard has his 4th game of 30 or more. Then see CJ outscored him with 31.
 
72 and 61 coming back to back against 2 of the best defenses in the league is pretty darn impressive.

I wonder where 133 points combined over consecutive games ranks for NBA starting backfires backcourt tandems.

Never mind: Curry/Thompson have probably beaten that this year...

They haven't actually...but they have gotten close. In consecutive road games vs Charlotte and Toronto on December 2nd and 5th they totaled 131 points...and 130 points Jan 31st and February 3rd against the Knicks and wizards.

But they have reached at least 112 points in consecutive games 12 times this season which is pretty impressive...

Still the Blazers 133 stands as the highest points from a NBA backcourt in consecutive games this season

I assume you mean for this season, right?
 
Kobe Bryant and Smush Parker combined for 141 points in consecutive games on January 22nd, 2006 and Jan 27, 2006...of course that is only because Kobe scored 81 points on the 22nd against the Raptors...Kobe and Smush were not really a great backcourt duo...
 
Pistol Pete Maravich and Mo Howard combined for 137 on 2/25/77 and 2/27/77 aganst the Knicks and Spurs respectively...though again that one rides on Maravich's career high 68 and an encore of 40...
 
So so far, you can't find an instance of a backcourt duo combining for more than 132 points over consecutive games without one of those guys having at least 100 of those.

So far I cannot

Now go to the next level--find a backcourt duo who has scored over 200 points in 3 games? CJ/Dame have combined for 201 points over the past 3.
