    the NBA is smaller and faster. The era of dominating big men no longer exists. Blazers should focus on drafting more guards this summer.

    I think KAT ran out of gas or they're subbing him out for defensive reasons. They're behind against the Hornets and KAT's been on the bench 4 of the last 5 minutes. I think he's going back in for the final offensive possession but they're down by one.

    But weren't you the main clown on here cracking on them last season about the trade with the Jazz?

    Wow. KAT ran out of gas and the Wolves blow it... to get us to 1.5 games behind the Hornets for that 4th lotto spot. Keep winning Hornets, just keep on winning.

    If it means anything.....KAT got absolutely murdered on the last play of the game. Should have been shooting FTs. Wasn't HIS fault they lost.

    I know I thought it was a terrible trade. I didn't think KAT and Rudy could play together and I didn't think Luka and Kyrie could make it work either. That's why the guys who made those trades are GMs and I'm just some dude who sits at home watching the games.

    Safe to say Embiid and KAT combined for the most points ever from two players on a single night?

    Yeah he got contact from three different guys... I think one of the guys didn't necessarily foul him but the other two mugged the dude. Definitely should have gone to the line and that would have put the Hornets behind by one.

    I have a really hard time when fouls are so blatant and at least two of the refs have to be watching that because KAT was the guy with the ball taking it to the hole. Just don't understand how these guys can miss some of the calls they do.

    4th time a pair of players scored 60+ in the same night so 132. I feel like there might be one of the other 3 that's higher?

    Not safe. Wilt scored 100 and Richie Guerin scored 39 in the same game! March 2, 1962.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about the famous Thompson (73)-Gervin (63) games on the final night of '78 when both were chasing the scoring title.

    And it looks like Wilt (78) and Baylor (63) combined for 141 on 12/8/61.
