    Dame Dolla as in Damian Lillard?
    Did he drive 70 MPH on I-84?

    Now Donovan Mitchell on the other hand dropped 71 points in OT the other night.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    I tuned into the Mitchell game after the Sixers. Crazy performance out of him...including getting his own foul shot rebound and sending them to OT. 

    Scoring has never been higher throughout the league this year. It's routine for Embiid to just casually put up 35 or 40+ a night now. Amazing how easy it is for him and others to score at will now .

    Which the league later admitted in the last 2 minute report was a lane violation and shouldn't have counted, ending the game in regulation and Mitchell with a mere 56 points.

    You can see the streakyness in the teams as they all live and die by the 3pt.  See the average scores of games now?  122-123.

    Hindsight is 20/20. But if Ben devoted even a little bit of effort into developing his game, his upside was waaay higher than that of a scorer who plays no defense. With that said, he was still the best rookie in 2018. Funny how they're both on different teams now though. 

    How are you Jazz doing this year?

    I just looked at the scoring leaders.  There 5, five, FIVE with 30+ averages.  

    I don't recall that ever happening...

    Looking back at 90's scoring leaders Tom friggin Chambers averaged 27 one year.  Holy Moses.

    OK so scoring.  147-116?  Not an OT game?

    NBA, please bring back defense of some sort...  Steals and fast breaks are fun, 3pointers are not anymore.  I do like when Curry drains them from the icon but not everyone can do that consistently.

    Bring on the D.

    And that was a relatively low, or normal, scoring game until the second half.

    Glad you mentioned that.

    In the past 8 years or so I have watched teams give up if a lead was too insurmountable.  If the 3's are raining down from the other side and not falling for their side the demeanor changes quick and the 2nd half can get even worse.

    There is no "come backs" I guess from teams?  You see the occasional 20pt comebacks from teams but those are the good ones and exceptions.

    Thoughts?

    I'm a Sixers fan and they always blow leads so I'm not sure about that. lol But I don't feel like the 3 pointer has changed things in that regard. If anything it makes it easier for teams to come back. It is a game of runs, after all. 

    Both benches were over 40 points in the 4th quarter. It was crazy.

    You haven't seen teams give up though?  I've seen it in the playoffs and finals.

    If someone keeps hitting 3's and the other team either doesn't make them or gets 2 that can be a big run of points in a short period of time.

    The Mavs I know live and die by the 3.  Luka gets his but if his team isn't hitting then look out.

    Yeah but I guess I just haven't noticed it happening more often than before...
