LooseCannon Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 DOUBLE POST Add Trevor Ariza to the list. I went through box scores going back to just 2/21 and found this list of non-All Stars (not just this year, but any year so people like Deron are out) who have score 40+ and 30+. This list just goes back to 2/21: List of 40-point games this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thank you sir! So here's the list of people who have scored 40+ this season and never been an All-Star: Terrence Ross Arron Afflalo Marcus Thornton Gerald Green Trevor Ariza Al Jefferson Goran Dragic Rudy Gay Obviously Gay, Jefferson, and Dragic are no surprise but the rest of the list is really WTF. Arron Afflalo??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Arron Afflalo??? A guy scoring 19.6 ppg having a 40-point game is not unusual. Afflalo scoring nearly 20ppg is a bit of surprise, but he's playing on a crap team where someone has to take the shots. I don't know how you can be surprised by Afflalo but not Dragic.

DougN Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Cause Dragic is having a hell of a season to the point that he was a serious All-Star contender. You're totally right that it's not inconceivable that a 20ppg guy on a crap team can get 40 points, but I don't think anyone has been talking about Affalo as they have Dragic which is more my point.

supremebve Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Cause Dragic is having a hell of a season to the point that he was a serious All-Star contender. You're totally right that it's not inconceivable that a 20ppg guy on a crap team can get 40 points, but I don't think anyone has been talking about Affalo as they have Dragic which is more my point. Affalo, Lowry, and Stephenson were probably the three best guards in the East before the All-Star break. Affalo didn't make it based on where he played, Lowry didn't make it because everyone hates his guts, and Stephenson lost out because he is most likely a crazy person. I'm not really complaining because if I had to watch a basketball exhibition I'd much rather watch Kyrie Irving and Dwyane Wade, but those other guys were playing better, or at least more consistently at the time. Oh, and who knew that Thabo was such a big piece of what the Thunder do? People want to blame Westbrook fro their struggles, but giving up 40 to guys like Jodie Meeks and Gerald Green is a much bigger problem than Westbrook shooting too much. Thabo as a defensive stopper is a big part of what they do, and they really miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 So this happened: Rep. Pat Garofalo @PatGarofalo Let's be honest, 70% of teams in NBA could fold tomorrow + nobody would notice a difference w/ possible exception of increase in streetcrime 7:33 PM - 9 Mar 2014 God some people are dumb.

Burgundy LaRue Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Before Felton got cuffed, I can't even remember the last NBA player to get arrested. Whereas the NFL skims by on this sort of stereotype while becoming possible triple murderers, suspected serial rapists, and fiancee punchout kings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 With that said, the percentage of professional athletes that get arrested is far less than males of the same age range over the entire population. The only difference is that we know the names of the athletes that do crimes, and we don't know the names of the millions of people doing crimes day by day.

Burgundy LaRue Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Southern white people love college football. The NFL? Varies depending on exactly where you are in the South. Obviously, it's a multi-layered situation that comes into play with the NBA = TBA (Thug Basketball Association) with some people. But I don't think it's a case of regional bias that much. Southern whites never followed the NBA with any dedication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 So, if Marcin Gortat has a 20/20 game tonight against Miami can we add him to the WTF list of performances this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Why would it have been shocking if a player who has had multiple 20/15 games in his career had a 20/20 game against a team with poor rebounding numbers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Guessing PJ Tucker's gonna miss a couple of games for throwing that elbow at Blake Griffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The perception of a 20/20 game, mostly. 20/15 is exceptional but 20/20 is really eyecatching, like 35 points or 40 points and 45 points or 50 points. It's just the perception even though it's only 5 rebounds (or points). I knew the Heat were in the shit tonight rebounding when the Wiz had like 9 offensive boards in the first quarter.

Dolfan in NYC Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Phil Jackson will be named the new VP of Operations for the New York Knickerbockers by Friday. That sound you hear is the clock officially ticking on Mike Woodson's career as Knicks Head Coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'll LOL if he hires Kurt Rambis as head coach. In 3 years, we get another book from Phil about dealing with James Dolan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I think the last time I won this contest we got beat up by the Bobcats. And the game I got to go to was the rematch that we won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I really like Enes Kanter. Dude always brings it everytime I see him play. Not sure what the Jazz are missing really, since they have some really solid guys. Burke is going to be a great NBA PG in a year or two, Kanter is developing as a very good big man, and Hayward is usually reliable. Anyone who's seen more of them have any thoughts? I've honestly only seen them when they play the Mavs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Not saying the Heat or LeBron are in a slump and I realize that it was just a regular season game and it's not going to change anything come playoff time, but.......... .....I LOVE that Pierce is still giving LBJ grief in 2014.

Josh Mann Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 CBS and NBATV reporting that Phil as President of the Knicks is a done deal. Either he's about to Triple Crown his legacy or put a Willie Mays to the Mets asterisk on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
