    Jabari Walker can shoot from everywhere, so can Little. Walker's shown to have some very nice skills around the hoop too.

    Little is not a PF in my opinion. Walker could play PF, but it's a big jump going from 2nd round 12th man to starter.

    It's funny that it feels the way. I looked into this once and it didn't appear we were abnormal in giving up career highs.

    season high, not career high?

    Maybe Hart will shoot more?

    Obviously not a Yogi Ferrell performance, but it definitely had that kind of feel in the first half. Could also point out Strus in the first Heat game, Huerter in Sacramento, maybe Damion Lee a couple times, Jon Konchar in the Grizz game...there's usually someone on the opponent who surprises early.

    And I'm not saying it's someone who's going to go off for 4 quarters--just someone who will earn the forum's vitriol after hitting a few shots.

    Never mind--clearly nobody (except @theprunetang) wants to play. no worries.

    FTR, my guess would be Theo Maledon.

    The Blazers get up to first place with a Jazz loss in Atlanta . Would a Denver loss also be required?

    Chauncey resting Grant, Nurk and Keon...man I love the way he handles load mangement....one of the perks of being a deep team.

    No, because Portland has the tie-breaker over Denver by virtue of a H2H win.

    Espn had Paul George and Russell Westbrook featured in 2 out of 3 spots on their Power Rankings. They are delusional and have a double LA and double NY games tonight. Dumpsterfire meet trainwreck.

    Couldn't find a data set for that. Though it's probably safe to say most players will have anywhere from 3-10 season highs a year, and given that each roster has 12 players on it, I would say it's not as rare as one might think. Now if we're giving up a season high in the majority of games in April. then that would be odd.

    Against the Kings this year we gave up 10 season highs (at the time) and then 5 against the Suns (at the time) the next game.

    For a real comparison, you'd need to look at how many seasons highs did we give up when the season is over, not at the time, which is when most people react to it.

    Michael Holton was the original starting guard for Charlotte back in the day according to Travis

    This hornet court is hard on the eyes. Looks awful.
