First 50 point game regular season: who will it Be?

[poido123]

I'll go Rose.

:pimp:

[no pun intended]

Some random scrub.

[JT123]

Who unbanned this guy? :facepalm

[bdreason]

Westbrook.

[dubeta]

LeBron


in Chicago

:pimp:

[Milbuck]

Steph. That new GS offense is gonna make things much, much easier for him. He was already a ridiculous shotmaker with a pretty weak system that didn't do him much good..give him an offense with more spacing, ball movement, one that lets him play off the ball to put him in more catch and shoot situations and reducing his constant playmaking burden..good luck rest of the league.

His catch and shoot #s are insane, he was ranked #10 in the league in catch and shoot % last year for players who played more than 25 mpg, at 49%...and 7 out of the 9 guys ahead of him are big men taking high percentage shots, and the other 2 are Shaun Livingston (who doesn't take tough shots) and Kyle Korver. It's pretty damn scary that even with Steph having opposing defenses concentrated on him and taking heavily contested shots at all times, the only guys shooting better than him are big men, Livingston, and a guy who almost exclusively spots up. It's all being set up for him to have an incredible season. Like historically good, shooting-wise.

Slightly off topic.. People are sleeping on GS. It's been said for a couple years now...but with the way Klay/Draymond Green/Curry are developing and a legitimate offensive system in place, I think it's serious this time around - the Warriors are going to be a nasty, nasty team come playoff time if they're healthy.

[Cold soul]

Steph Curry.

[Imtheman]

I'm with Milbuck. Stephen curry.

[ImKobe]

Kobe's going up against Harden in the season opener

:kobe: hasn't played an NBA game for basically a year
:kobe: is known to be an attention whore, who's out for personal glory, what else is there to do on a team with limited offensive weapons?
:kobe: likes to shoot a lot
:kobe: is going up against D-Ho the first time since he left LA, Harden is basically his replacement

James Harden is not a great defender, remember Kobe dropping 42 with him mainly guarding him in the Playoffs or 39 in 2013

This is as good of a chance as any to drop 50 if KB's feeling it - Harden's defending him and the game is close for him to be on the floor, Houston likes a high-paced game, so more shot attempts and possibly many defensive breakdowns

[Im Still Ballin]

Demarcus will drop a 50/20 this season.

The problem is Bogut. If he's 100% we're a legit threat. As soon as you replace him for Lee or Speights our defense goes to shit. Hopefully Ezili can stay healthy, because he's actually a solid rim protector. regardless if Bogut gets hurt we are no longer a contender, period.

[aj1987]

Kobe Bryant. Dude is probably gonna take 25 shots a game on that garbage ass team.

Dark horse: Bosh.

My bets on Kobe too. Doesn't feel like he has much faith in his team, and one day he's just going to say **** it and jack em up for like 52/2/7.

Either that or Westbrook getting hot from deep and going ham in one of the games where KD is still out.

[TheReal Kendall]

Melo

[dunksby]

Deron Williams.

[Graviton]

Deron Williams.
No white text wtf. :lol

[coin24]

Kobe
Melo
KD
Curry
Westbrook

Any of these top 5 current best players in the game:applause:

[#number6ix#]

Meloooo

[raprap]

James Harden

[NZStreetBaller]

Durant on his returning night. Dude kud average 50 the whole season if he wanted to chuck...

NBATV explains why theres few 50 point games video (http://www.nba.com/video/channels/nba_tv/2013/11/26/20131125-gt-50pt.nba/)

.

[SteveNashMVPcro]

Uhm I'd go with Curry, Melo or Westbrook

[dunksby]

No white text wtf. :lol
Because I'm predicting a WTF moment :lol

[livingby3's]

JJ Reddick.

[Foster5k]

If Lebron has to drop 50, the Cavs are in serious trouble.

I got Westbrook. He's going to be the first option on OKC since KD is out. When he is on, nothing can stop him.

I don't see Curry scoring 50. He can get hot from 3, so anything can happen. However, I got Westbrook to be the first one to do it.

[ralph_i_el]

Kobe's going up against Harden in the season opener

Yeah, more likely Harden drops 50 on Kobe and the Lakers bumass bigs



My sleeper pick: Blake Griffin

[R.I.P.]

Westbrook.

this

[Taller than CP3]

Kyrie will do it to assert alpha dominance over Lebron.

[EricGordon23]

Blake
Curry

My sleeper pick derozan

[FatComputerNerd]

Gotta go with WB since no Durant

[ImKobe]

Yeah, more likely Harden drops 50 on Kobe and the Lakers bumass bigs



My sleeper pick: Blake Griffin

This is a joke, right?

[Attila]

Kobe Bryant. Dude is probably gonna take 25 shots a game on that garbage ass team.

Dark horse: Bosh.
I'm not even calling it a dark horse but I truly think Bosh will drop 50 pretty early into season

[Jlamb47]

1.Westbrook
2.Harden
3.Melo
4.Curry

[navy]

Bosh.

[Droid101]

Yeah, more likely Harden drops 50 on Kobe and the Lakers bumass bigs


Impossible. If Harden gets over 40 teams will just stop fouling him.

[Demitri98]

Probably a random scrub like Terrence Ross or Corey Brewer last season. Some guy will get stupid hot in a meaningless game.

Then there's guys like Curry and Melo who could go off in any game at any time.

[k0kakw0rld]

Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson

[SwayDizzle]

gotta go with Kobe here

[20Four]

Who unbanned this guy? :facepalm
Jameer you gotta stop gettin people banned, I got banned for exposing u :roll: :roll:


http://i.minus.com/iVxl2rKwqAcPo.jpg

hahahaha

[jongib369]

Jimmer or Lopez

[Heavincent]

Curry will have a 60 point game this year. Book it.

[MP.Trey]

Someone nobody would really expect. I'm going to go with Pierce or Monta.

[HylianNightmare]

Harris

[RoundMoundOfReb]

LeBron "King" James

[Fudge]

Kevin Durant. First game back too.

[Nets fan 93]

Klay Thompson

[AKADS]

Westbrook. Opening night. He might have to play 48 minutes with all the Thunder injuries. I am guessing 35 fga. 20 plus fta.

52/8/6.

[Budadiiii]

Russell Westbrook, the current best player in the world

[riseagainst]

Russell Westbrook, the current best player in the world

:oldlol:

[AKADS]

Russ is half way there

[Dave3]

Westbrook might do it on the first (real) night of the season...:oldlol:

[Bobcats2013]

With this squad Russ might average 50 till Durant comes back. :oldlol:

[AKADS]

Westbrook might do it on the first (real) night of the season...:oldlol:
Why I bumped the thread I called it on opening night. Hope he gets at least close don't want to look like a total douche

[ArbitraryWater]

So.. We haven't had one yet.. alot of guys are capable, I guess its between Curry, Durant, LeBron.. Maybe Anthony Davis if they feed him enough and he has the stamina (last year it was KD).

edit: Forgot Harden.. another threat here.

[Clyde]

James Harden

[k0kakw0rld]

So.. We haven't had one yet.. alot of guys are capable, I guess its between Curry, Durant, LeBron.. Maybe Anthony Davis if they feed him enough and he has the stamina (last year it was KD).
Klay Thompson, already had 41 points vs Lakers and 40 points vs Pacers this season. :bowdown:

[Dro]

Klay Thompson, already had 41 points vs Lakers and 40 points vs Pacers this season. :bowdown:
:applause:

[L.Kizzle]

Durant in the next game it so, book it.

[ArbitraryWater]

Well, it was Mo ****in' Williams..

[poido123]

Well that was underwhelming.


Mo...Williams...Ughh

[WallIn]
