Nash :bowdown:

[Droid101]

Nash :bowdown:
Nash was the PG of 6 of the top 11 offensive teams in the history of the NBA, yes.

That's worth two MVP's I'd wager.

[kobebeangoat]

does anyone know what the highest PPG by a team in a season is? unless thats what that list was going by

[KevinNYC]

'87 Celtics

Why 87 over 86?

[Droid101]

No, it's not by points per game for that (as you can get more if you have more possessions, but it doesn't mean you're better at scoring every possession).

I'm having a hard time finding hard PPG stats for teams per season without looking at each team individually.

i could be wrong since I was skimming through the list but it looks like 07-08 GS had the highest PPG in the 2000s

[Droid101]

That would be correct.

That year:

GSW: 111 PPG
DENVER: 110.7 PPG
PHOENIX: 110.1 PPG

Offensive Domination that year.

[bdreason]

Why 87 over 86?


I actually meant '85-'86 Celtics. Was thinking of '87 Lakers.

[Round Mound]

85 Lakers

those combined scores :roll:

[AnaheimLakers24]

last years nuggets could score like nothing

[Droid101]

The highest-scoring regular season game is the triple-overtime game between the Detroit Pistons and the Denver Nuggets on December 13, 1983. The two teams combined to score 370 points, with the Pistons defeating the Nuggets 186–184.

[LAZERUSS]

Kareem and Oscar led championship Bucks

Excellent choice.

They averaged 118.4 ppg and shot an eFG% of .509, in an NBA that averaged 112.4 ppg and shot .449. Oh, and they held their opposing teams to 106.2 ppg on a .424 eFG%.

And how about their post-season numbers? They averaged 109.1 ppg on a .497 eFG%, while holding their opposition to 94.6 ppg on a .395 eFG%.


I also like the 84-85 Lakers.

118.2 ppg on a .551 eFG%, while holding their opponents to 110.9 ppg on a .485 eFG%.

And in the post-season, they averaged 126.3 ppg on an eFG% of .552, while holding their opposition to 116.2 ppg on a .478 eFG%.

[fiddy]

Yes. Of all time. Ill find the stats.
Please do, They are not even top 10.
