    Which transitions to a 2020 Second if we somehow get a top 15 pick in 2019

    I have it all planned out

    Must have. I mean, we all know that Paul George deserves to have the longest 20ppg streak.

    Gonna be hard for Terry to beat his mentor Carlisle twice in a row. Especially in Dallas....

    Non mediocre teams roll over the Dallas Mavericks, so I expect it will be a close one.

    That's sad. No one else can score 20+ that often? Did Jordan ever score less than 20? I'm sure his streaks were longer than 8.

    Giannis had a 28-game streak broken earlier this month. He's been under 20 just once in like 12 weeks.

    Yes, because sometimes one Nurk just isn't enough!

    I don’t think starting 2 soft centers is a good idea.

    Not sure what his longest streak was, but I remember at the start of his third season, he scored 20+ the first 20 games of the season (including nine straight games of 40+ points), was held to 11 points and then immediately went on another streak of 41 consecutive 20+ point games. That was followed by a more modest streak of 18 games, before being held to 17 points in the season finally. For the season, he ended up scoring 20+ in 79 of 82 games.

    Well, you know how Terry tends to let other coaches dictate the match ups...

    DAL starts Dirk at center and Maxi Kleber at PF. So, maybe Terry counters with two big softies of our own.

    Man, I'd really love to finally see the Nurk/Collins/Aminu front court tonight with Turner out. With DAL also starting a rookie at PF, this would be the perfect opportunity to start Collins.

    I remember with Jordan how if you held him under 30, you did a good job defensively. 26, 27 points was considered a bad game for him. Crazy, right?
