Forum Game Name the player matching the statistical anomaly

PtldPlatypus · Mar 9, 2017

Just a little afternoon randomness. I'll list several feats that have occurred once in Blazer history. Name the player who accomplished each in a Blazer uniform. Yes, the answers to each of these can be found via basketball reference--please have some integrity and make your best guesses without looking up the answers. No prize to the winner, just having a little fun. The first couple should be easy.

1. Only 5x5 game in team history
2. Multiple 50+ point games as a Blazer
3. Most 3PA (16) in a single game
4. Highest 3P% (80%) on 10+ 3PA
5. 20 rebounds, 5 assists, and 0 turnovers
6. 4+ reb/ast/blk/stl with 20+ pts (twice)
7. Most points (34) in a 20-rebound game
8. 7+ ORB and blocks in same game.
9. Triple-double without committing a foul
10. 18 made free throws coming off the bench

Little hint--there are no duplicates. Toss out your guesses and we'll see who gets the most right.

You must have missed the "no duplicates" part.

No matter. I'll tell you that you have exactly one correct. Care to try again?

He has number 1 correct.

A statement which, if accurate, dovetails nicely with my response.

But where are your guesses, Pruner?

Good man. You have exactly two correct, and two others that are on the list, just in the wrong spot (actually swapped).

LEADER IN THE CLUBHOUSE!!

I have Batum and Randolph right. I remember ZBO doing that against Memphis.

Are you certain? I believe you're referring to the game on April 11, 2003, in which Randolph had 31 points and 20 rebounds. However, another Blazer has done slightly better.

PDXFonz · Mar 9, 2017

1 Batum
2 LA
3 Stoudamire
4 Wes
5 ZBO
6 Clyde
7 Walton
8 Przybilla
9 Roy
10 Kerr

Oooooh, bit of a backslide from prior guessers. Only 1 correct, with 4 other names that belong on the list but are in the wrong spot.

And the BDSMFan pulls even with @Fonzthecpt1 by getting 4 correct, one of which nobody else has guessed yet. Well done sir!!

Got three, and I bet you know which ones too. Believe it or not, of the seven that are incorrect, none of them belong on the list at all.

Fantastic questions! Can you PM me the correct answers? I have a couple friends I want to quiz tonight, and I'm leaving work soon. They're Luddites, and if I ask the questions off of my phone they'll give me no end of shit, lol...

1. Only 5x5 game in team history
BATUM
2. Multiple 50+ point games as a Blazer
ROY? (I don't think Stoudamire got more than one.)
3. Most 3PA (16) in a single game
LILLARD? (they just didn't attempt that many in Porter's day) Maybe Uncle Cliffy...
4. Highest 3P% (80%) on 10+ 3PA
Okay, now you're getting obscure.
5. 20 rebounds, 5 assists, and 0 turnovers
SABAS?
6. 4+ reb/ast/blk/stl with 20+ pts (twice)
DREXLER?
7. Most points (34) in a 20-rebound game
Hm. Tough one. Brian Grant?
8. 7+ ORB and blocks in same game.
No idea. SHEED?
9. Triple-double without committing a foul
PORTER?
10. 18 made free throws coming off the bench
AINGE?

Here's some more total randomness. If you consider turnovers and personal fouls, there actually is at least one other 5x5 game in team history. Sabas put up 19/13 with 5 blocks, 5 turnovers, and 5 fouls 11/22/97.

And now you know...

You're right--I should have gone with "most 3's made in a game without a miss". Let's put that in as an 11th bonus question.

BTW, you have 2 questions correct, and 1 other in the wrong spot.

BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94 · Mar 9, 2017

I'm starting to think 6 may in fact be Kersey

Hmm, interesting theory. He could certainly fill a stat sheet.

Or perhaps he belongs elsewhere on the list...
