[WC First Round] (3)Denver vs. (6)Portland

how that worked out for him last night?

 

That defensive movie is the Disco Warrior.

Spoiler

 

he won the new record medal and probably a lifetime free coupons to taco bell

 

i don't have Stathead to check, but I think jordan's 69/18 game is the highest ever. i would think kobe's 81 would be up there. also Game Score starts in '83-'84 so it wouldn't include crazy numbers from the 60's era.

edit: i see it was already posted. didn't know bbref had the list. so harden's 60 point triple double and malone's 21/26 game where he scored 61 are the others. game score tends to highly value not missing shots (seemingly more than racking up assists and rebounds) so i'm not sure if it penalizes 3 point shooters who end up with more overall misses while having the same efficiency as guys who shoot more 2 pointers.

 

55.9 GameScore. Tops Barkley (52) for highest ever in playoffs

96.8 TS%
192 ORTG

 

I'm actually pissed off at Dame's teammates. Looked like 2018 Rockets out there. CP3/CJ washed and Harden/Dame carrying but falling short because the rest of the team are a bunch of losers.

 

It's already been living off the other two game winners he has hit to advance to the 2nd round.

Media and fans care about historic shots and games. Not really sure if this game will be remembered since he lost. Epic game, epic shots, but at the end of the day he lost.

 

Did you watch game 4? Lillard shot 1-10 from the field, but his teammates bailed him out.

 

Oh yeah I know.

But I'm talking about THIS game lol.

 

this is the 3rd 50+ point game an opposing player has had against the Nuggets in just the last 2 postseasons

 

im not sure ive ever seen one guy WILL a team more than last night. they were dead in the water twice. his teammates let him down in the end. also the three he hit to send it to the second overtime shouldve probably been an and1.

thats a very tough loss. his teammates owe him one in game 6.

 

Almost all of his big memorable moments have been in the 1st round.
Vs Houston
Vs OKC
Bubble restart to get 8th seed
Denver last night

He’s had plenty of stinkers. Like Game vs 7 Denver he went 3-17. He doesn’t have any memorable exits, probably because Blazers always get eliminated in 4-5 games. Hats off to him for not running off to join a Superteam though.

22-38 playoff record

Those shots Lillard hit were insane. Props to him for that.

This has been a great series. I bet it goes 7.

 

Nobody's watching this game? MPJ scored 20 points with 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

 

Cane here with the same thought! Damn!!

 

MPJ on pace for 88.

 

MPJ PER -14
