Bbref says it's 14. Sounds like he could shatter that https://www.basketball-reference.co...=Y&c1stat=tov&c1comp=gt&c1val=11&order_by=tov
Looks like Rockets are up over 30 now, so no dice. Harden most likely won't play any 4th quarter minutes.
Blazers facing an interesting choice. A) Sell high on Whiteside and don't worry about the short-term impact. B) Try to keep Whiteside and sell low on Nurk. C) Do nothing and let Whiteside leave for a modicum of cap flexibility. (I'm assuming that nobody believes "D) Keep them both" is an option.) Your move Olshey!
You answered Prunetang's question, but just to remind any careless readers: 14 is the record for full games. Basketball-Reference can't calculate it for half-games. Harden probably set a record for a half.
Yeah it's weird. He has those stats and yet no one considers him to be even a candidate for the All Star game or DPOY. We talk about this on our podcast. Most empty stats ever?
It's not elusive. James Harden has already done it twice. Westbrook has done it 5 times. Barkley, LeBron, Magic, Drexler, Kidd, Blake Griffin have all done it once. https://www.basketball-reference.co...10&c4stat=tov&c4comp=gt&c4val=10&order_by=pts
Miami fans said he was Mr. Empty Stats and were delighted to see him go. Sometimes when a team has a vacuum cleaner rebounder, it just increases the careless shots put up by his teammates. The high rebound number may actually cause losses, not wins. Whiteside is visibly less active than Nurkic in creating his own shots, and thus getting fouled. He gets 2/3 as many FTA/minute as Nurkic.
Half of them are Blazers. I thought the Blazers were pretty much always terrible, or at least that's what I hear continuously in here. I've also been told over and over again that the Blazers can't attract a top quality player.
