Is this an NBA record for scoring in the Playoffs? Or anytime? In the last 4 min of WCF Game 4 in the 2nd Q, Meyers scored 2 swish3s in 20 sec, and scored 11 points with 4 of 4 FG shooting in 4 min! That's a new record! That powerful display of offense is remarkable--worth recognizing and repeating! Since the Jan 30 win over the Jazz after losing badly twice to them in Dec, I have posted in favor of relying on the demonstrated talent of Meyers to play a major role in optimizing wins for the Blazers. This game adds the exclamation mark! This burst of scoring in these 4 min shows the potential that is ready and waiting to help win the Championship next season. Let's keep this achievement in mind and increasingly call on Meyers to help us reach the 2020 NBA Finals!
In the 2016 playoffs Curry scored 17 points in a 5 minute overtime against us. In 1995 Reggie Miller scored 8 points in under 9 seconds. So no, neither are a record. Nice try through.
I wonder how many times Meyers stood there and flexed instead of running back on defense during that 11 point flurry in 4 mins?
I love that in the same thought he asks if it is an NBA playoff record and then emphatically declares it so!
Whatever it represents, I will take 2 swish3s and 6 points in 20 sec anytime and in every game! Yeah Meyers!!!
Yeah, 6 points every 20 seconds is pretty good scoring efficiency. I don't think it's very sustainable, though. Especially since Meyers Leonard isn't very good.
Basketball-reference statistics show that the leading Blazer scoring in the 2019 Playoffs is Meyers, with 14 of 33 (42.4%) swish3s, 34 of 65 (52.3%) FG, and an eFG% of 63.1%. Is this a Blazer Playoff record?
Probably would help his case if he was a rotation player....he waived a towel too much to get those stats much weight in Blazer lore...if he played all playoffs like he did the last two games, you'd have a case
Meyers led the Blazers in those 3 scoring categories, and did play well in the last 2 games. Next season let's play him at least 16 min in all of the games and rely on him for at least 16 points per game. Now that we have seen him score 25 points in 16 min against GSW in the Playoffs, I am persuaded that he can add the additional scoring sufficient for the 2020 NBA Championship.
