    Seems like you attempted to do what you expect someone else to do..

    Anyways, shooting 10-11 in a gym alone is amazing, let alone being in a real NBA game.

    You really think what is happening now was readily available when he was drafted? And when you reply yes for your pride, elaborate why.

    He was raining in a lot of those threes from well-beyond the 3 pt line.

    He should not have shot the last three, even though the crowd wanted him to. I don't think he was aware he actually held an NBA record for most consecutive threes (10) before he heaved the last one up.

    Maybe he's not a stat w****? But on the other side, his team was winning big...

    I think what's also crazy is that the most he's even made in a game in his career is 3. He also shoots it 40% which, even though he doesn't attempt many, is still a good percentage. He's still young and could be a big part of the "rebuilding" effort in Denver.

    Yup, more or less. This season has sucked about 50 times more than the Rockets' season, and watching the PG we traded away set a record like this ( because Kurt Rambis doesn't seem to realize that 3 point shooters need to be guarded this whole season).

    And to make things even better tonight:

    If James Johnson had been available, we wouldn't have traded. I repeat: Kahn valued James Johnson over Lawson. fml.

    Based on what? He had a ridiculously good 3 point shooting game against one of the worst teams in the league which bumped his percentage from being around 47th in the league to 22nd.

    Haha, I saw that as well and thought, wtf? Anyone that thinks Kahn is better than horrible is delusional. He's had 10 draft picks in 2 years and has only managed to draft 2 quality players at best.

    Ben Gordon made 9 out of 9 from beyond the arc when he was in Chicago.

    Didn't Donyell Marshall do that against the Rockets?

    This guy's stats look just awesome, I haven't actually seen him play since he became a starter.

    Is he really that good or? Without having seen him, he seems like a TJ Ford with very good scoring ability. Would have been a better fit for the Knicks, D'Antoni and their offense I think. Billups is not great at playing uptempo.

    Unless you're a ballhog like Corey Magette or Iverson or Starbury, its quite hard to put up stats and not contribute to winning. I mean, if you score 45 and your team loses by 20, more than likely your other players let you down.

    The whole "who's a star who's not" only matters if you're comparing pgs now to pgs during the 80's and 90's. If every pg out there is getting you 15 and 5 due to the new rules, then you'll only pay attention to those who give you 22 and 11, which is basically what's happening now.

    Pretty good post but Brandon Jennings is not borderline all-star.
