Kareem broke the scoring record in a game against Utah, in a game played at Las Vegas.

April 5, 1984.

I wonder if LeBron passed that amount against us or not.

 

[MHSL82]

I don't know if Bronny will be as good.

I don’t think he will, but he may have a better rookie year? That’s assuming he learns things in college? But maybe not because they asked LeBron to do certain things in his rookie year I guess that they may be slower with his son.

I didn't realize Nowitzki and Kidd played so many minutes, history wise, in their careers.

Mikal Bridges' new team Brooklyn, has 28 games left. I don't expect him to play tonight.

But if he joins by Saturday, and plays every remaining game, he could get to 83 games this year.

Oscar Robertson, Tyreke Evans, and someone else are the only rookies to average 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists as a rookie.

Brandon Roy was close, I think he missed the rebounds.

Of course, Bronny reaching those levels is just one possible measure of success.

Maybe Bronny does a specific thing that he's better than LeBron at, as a rookie.

I hope it's not 3-point shooting, because that would interest me the least.

Stealing, rebounding, assisting, FT attempts, FG% in the paint, those things, if done better than LeBron as a rookie, would interest me.

Or FG%, if he shot 51% as a rookie, that would be exciting. Or 90% on FTs.

What place in the West were the Utah Jazz on February 07, 2011, when they had a 31 - 22 record? They would go 8 - 21 the rest of the way, and finish eleventh.

I don’t know. It’s a sensitive subject for me. Just kidding. It seems like all the experts out there have said that we did well in the trade, but I don’t get how giving up three players in one draft pick and three players that we don’t want does much. I know it gives us more cap room.

But even if I accept the fact that we didn’t have a chance to win anything, even with the players we got rid of, and even if I am happy that we have more money and draft picks, and even if we win a championship later, for this year, I am less interested to care anymore. I was happier to care and lose than I feel I would be to win and not care. So to lose and not care? Awful. No, I’m not going to artificially decide to care.

I think if I had time and it were free to watch all the games, maybe I’d be interested in watching some more younger players develop. However, I have only been box score watching, and highlight watching and even then not consistently for the past 10 to 15 years.

So all I have basically is to hope for results and look at stats and I feel like those are going to get worse. Even Markennen does well, it’s just he’s so expected to do what he does that it doesn’t mean anything to me. I’m more interested in somebody I don’t think it’s going to do much doing something or someone I don’t think it’s going to do much yet doing it but now it’s going to be in garbage time and so it’s tainted even though they of course, can actually learn and develop truly.

Plus, it sucks that the jazz owner and Ainge are BYU people.

I don’t know. It’s a sensitive subject for me. Just kidding.

There's no way to find out? There's no way to see what the real time standings were on a date?

 

[nuraman00]

He's doing better than expected this year. That's why he's an All-Star this year.

They are rotten clean scoundrels.

(Did you think I was going to say "dirty"?)

 

[nuraman00]

I’m more interested in somebody I don’t think it’s going to do much doing something or someone I don’t think it’s going to do much yet doing it but now

Kessler, Sexton, and Agbaji?

 

[MHSL82]

There's no way to find out? There's no way to see what the real time standings were on a date?

I thought it was something you knew but were asking me to guess.

I don’t care. We are not the Indiana Pacers.

 

[MHSL82]

Kessler, Sexton, and Agbaji?

Yes… as far as interest. As far as them going to do something? I already expect something from Kessler. I have no reason to count out the others.

 

[MHSL82]

He's doing better than expected this year. That's why he's an All-Star this year.

Yes, but right now I have expected him to be the All-Star this year.

Jazz Owner and Wade:

 

[nuraman00]

I thought it was something you knew but were asking me to guess.

I don’t care. We are not the Indiana Pacers.

What does this comparison mean?

 

[nuraman00]

Yes… as far as interest. As far as them going to do something? I already expect something from Kessler. I have no reason to count out the others.

Count out, or count on?

 

[nuraman00]

Yes, but right now I have expected him to be the All-Star this year.

He hasn't proven it for 82 games yet in his career. So I want to see if he can do it.

The most games per season he's played in his career, are 68, then 61.

The highest FG% he's had in his career, prior to this year, are 48.0 and 44.5%.

He's shooting 51.8% this year.

As of right now, the maximum games he can play this year now are 77.

If he can play about 77 games, shoot 51%, then he'll have shown something to me he hasn't come close to doing before.

For me, it’s 76.9 games and 50.999%.
