RIPPA Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Kyrie just scored 41 points in the first half Quote Irving, 29, set a variety of records with the outburst in the first half. It was the highest scoring half of his career and the highest scoring half for any player all season. The last player to score as many as Irving was Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker who scored 51 points in the second half of a March 24, 2017 game against the Boston Celtics. Booker finished that game with 70 points. Irving's 41 points was also the most one player has ever scored in one half against the Magic in franchise history. The Nets' 86 points are a franchise record for most in any half and it is most the Magic have ever given up in one half in franchise history. The Magic scored 56 points in the 1st half and were losing by 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Kyrie ended with 60. He left the game with 8 minutes to go and the Nets won by 42. It's the first time in NBA history that two teammates scored 50+ in consecutive games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Lot of big scoring nights recently. Also, while I think Kyrie is a dumbass and should've just gotten vaccinated months ago, I think I'm on his side in regards to it being utterly insane that he's not allowed to play in home games, or sit on the bench, but he can be in the stands unvaccinated and unmasked. If the mandate no longer applies to the packed crowd, it's pretty silly to apply it to the players (and I know it applies to them because they are at work, but it doesn't really make any logical sense anymore.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Lebron passed Malone for second all-time in regular season points. Is there any player ever with a bigger gap between how good his career stats say he was, and where people generally rate him all-time than The Mailman?

Walton in the opposite direction, too. He routinely shows up on 50 greatest lists and the like but: started 60 games in a season ONCE, played just 468 total, never had a season of 19+ points a game, and finished at just 13.3 for his career. Even if he WAS that good, the stats sure don't show it. Edited March 20, 2022 by Tabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, even when healthy, he didn't put up eye-popping numbers. Even in college, he averaged 20/15 and his numbers actually dropped as he got older.

Zimbra Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Jamal Crawford has officially announced his retirement from basketball. Kinda thought he had retired already since he's been calling games on league pass, but was apparently still trying to catch on with a contender. The Blazers announced that Lillard will miss the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he could do is flop and take 45 minutes to shoot free throws. And he is a grade a horrible person. Fuck him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some light digging shows me that he fathered children that he abandoned. Is there more than that? Not saying that's not bad enough to warrant your comment, I'm just wondering if there's more.
