    It wasn't a triple double. A near quadruple double though with 9 assists and 9 steals.

    He is going to be a great scorer, not sure what else he is going to be. He is 20 so he has plenty of room to grow in every aspect of his game if he cares enough to do other things then just shoot.

    I should have said a more efficient scorer since he is avging over 20ppg even though its on a lot of shots and not great %s.

    70 is impressive but it was from a horrible defender so it shouldn't be a big deal...

    (I could see some chumps on here saying this if Dame scored 70)

    I believe he had 12 assist, but only 7 rebounds (and yes I'm too lazy to check)

    People would be demanding Dame be the new NBA logo if he scored 70. Those same people still aren't sold on Booker cause he doesn't play defense. Oh the irony

    As long as his guy doesn't score more than 50 I'll take anyone scoring 70 at any time.

    Jimmy Butler (in a loss) 36 points, 11 assists, no turnovers, 7 rebounds, 3 steals. My oh my, wouldn't he look great in a Blazer uniform?

    Well, if his guy scores 50 but the 70 point guy needs help to keep him to 50 and the other guy's teammates score more and you lose then it isn't good. I hated watching those Spurs teams win 85-75 but a win is a win.

    Weirdest story of the NBA this season?

    The fact that Dion Waiters makes the Heat look like a top level eastern team when he plays and they look like a mediocre squad without him lol
