Somehow he was his team's leading scorer :lol:


When I first read this post I said no way.. I had to check out the box score myself.. :o

A player who is already known as a poor 3 point shot maker should no way in hell take 15 shots from 3.. That is absurd..

He literally may have just shot himself out of the NBA next year..


It's one for the record books -- no player had ever gone more than 0-12 from 3 before and he blasted past that. Too bad he got tossed as he only needed one more missed 3 to tie the record (held by Harden -- six times! -- and Damon Stoudemire) for most missed 3s in a single game.

There will probably not be a flood of posts about this like "DiD wE giVE uP oN hiM ToO sOoN?"

Interesting about the Lakers @ Pelicans. I guess people in New Orleans don't want to see the Lakers shooting FTs all night?

People already had high expectations for Cs coming into the season. They've exceeded them by a good amount, at least in the regular season.

Fighting to lock in a seed. Intentionally lose and you're risking not being in the playoffs at all.

You watch other teams and you realize how far the Cs have come in terms of shot selection and offensive execution.

Also, McCollum has been an absolute zero. Negative even. Pels need him to play well.

The other analysis is that the Lakers are up by 15 in points but by 14 in FTs.

Zion has been fantastic. Doing all he can to win this. He has little help though.
