More amazing still: he was 9 for 9 in that insane quarter. Scored 37 points overall without missing a single shot. Even drained a three a split-second after a whistle that would have given him 40. Possibly the most surreal quarter I've ever watched live (live = live TV, alas...)Kliq said:11-15 threes is hard in practice. Doing it the NBA is unconcsious. Only Curry going 11-13, Ty Lawson going 10-11 and George McCloud going 10-12 can really be considered better shooting performances with at least 10 attempts.

Forgotten after the barrage was that the Warriors actually needed it: they had blown all of an 18 point lead and were flopping around like a dead fish when he spontaneously combusted.
Kliq said:The only better scoring performance I can recall of the top of my head is Sleppy Floyd's 29 point 4th quarter in the playoffs vs LAL, where he didn't take a single shot outside of 15 feet and made 12 straight shots at once. I believe he turned into an actual human fireball at one point.

Despite finding Whiteside, MIA is 20-25 and Wade left early b.c. hamstring. I wonder if Bosh wishes he had gone somewhere else rather than re-up with this team that is going nowhereHassan Whiteside triple double: 14pts, 13reb, 12 blocks.

Yeah Boogie got robbed too. The funny thing is that most casual NBA fans would prefer Cousins game to peak-era Duncan let alone gracefully aging Duncan...BigSoxFan said:Duncan over Cousins is a pretty big stretch. Has a 24/12 guy ever not made it?
DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:Leaving Damian Lillard off the west roster in favor of CP3 is a crime. Even though they are different players, I take Lillard straight up over Paul today if I am building a team.
Kliq said:Boogie got named over Lillard as Bryants replacement. Now, Boogie statistcally has had a really good season, and he has looked unstoppable at times. But they are overlooking Lillard in favor of a guy who still has maturity issues, plays half-assed defense, coasts during crunch time and is incredibly tempremental. That isn't an All-Star to me.

Cousins is a better defender than Lillard.
Kliq said:
When they are both trying, yes. But Cousins loafs so much on defense, casually swiping at the ball as players blow past him, he doesn't deserve the same consideration as Lillard.
Sam Ray Not said:Don't forget plays for a cruddy team. I've grown to like Boogie and respect his game, but there's a huge difference between putting up great fantasy numbers for a 16-28 team and being the crunchtime superstar on a team that's 32-14 (a 57-win pace).
Dame wuz robbed.
