Game #16: Toronto Raptors 98 - Denver Nuggets 112

[white men can't jump]

In unrelated news, but also from today, Kevin Durant had an unbelievable game against the Wolves. Just ridiculous....

32 pts, 12 ast, 10 boards (2/8), 4 stls, 4 blks...and only 2 turnovers. Freakin insane.

+ Reddick and A Davis out with broken hand.

Since they started keeping track of blocks and steals officially in the 70's nobody has put up a line like that. The closest is Jordan in the late 80's had a game of 30 pts 10 rebs, 10 asts, 4 stls and 4 blks.

I didn't watch the game but as soon as a torrent comes up I'm going to watch it. Imagine being at that game...

Reddick was having one hell of a time @ Clips. Ray Allen like season.

I just watched footage of the Detroit game, the NBA employed guy states "drummond has 31 points and 19 rebounds, nobody has been able to put up stats like that since the 70's" fucking NBA, somewhere out there Kevin Love is saying what the fuck.

Or Dwight Howard. Or Shaq. Or C-Webb. Or Ewing. Or Larry Bird. Or any of the other dozens of players who have had a 30 point/20 rebound game over the last 25 years.

I think officially, Hakeem was the last to do it, so likely late 90's. Still impressive.

If you include the six steals then it's different. Axel's correct about Hakeem.

Anyone care to defend JV for letting him make Mozgov get whatever he wanted last night? anyone? everyones just going to let that slide like it never happened?

*** Terrible JV is RAW he'll get better no doubt but people hes a project, Nets it was Blatche ok fair enough... but MOZGOV? NBA's favorite Poster boy? went Hakeem on JV ridiculous.

Did you watch the game?

Over half of Mosgov's production (16pts, 15 rebs) were when JV was not on the floor.

One area JV got beat up was on the offensive glass by Mosgov. A couple of those boards came from weak rotations by the Raptors. However no one on the Raptors was able to contain Mosgov yesterday.

That's not really what I remember but, okay..... how many points did Mozgov get while JV was on the floor? I recall him doing most of his damage when JV was on the bench but I could be mistaken.

Also, JV had 18 and 11 on 50% shooting. Meanwhile, Lowry/DD/Gay went 20 for 52. That's likely a big reason why people are pointing at the perimeter and giving JV somewhat of a pass.

Sure. How about he has finally realized how futile it is for him that he keeps doing all the dirty work and he doesnt get a sniff of the ball on offense. Seems like he has gone over to the dark side and looking for his own (and he did last afternoon) since there is no such thing as team-ball within this crew. Pity. But this is the NBA and except for the very few teams it is very much an "I" driven league.

5 of those 8 misses came in the first quarter on easy put backs.

8/16 overall after starting 2/7 then going 6/9.

Let's not forget most of Raps assists came when JV was on the floor.
