2021 NBA regular season thread

Bradley Beal is taking 26 shots a game- almost 5 more than the next closest player.

guess who the last player to take 26 or more shots per game was-- and bonus for the year?


ESPN only goes back to 2001 on its stats.

only 2 players have taken more than 26 shots per game in that time frame (the last 20 years).

can you name both? they each only did it once in their careers as well.

I always use reference but MJ no doubt did it a ton of times BEFORE 2000. After 2000 most likely Kobe. The other one...McGrady?

 

[WiggyRuss]

just looked it up

thats the "first half"

the 2nd half schedule will be released later and include any postponed games that can be "reasonably" made up. interesting.

Kobe is the last to do it in '05-06'. He was at over 27 a game. Only time in his career he was over 26 a game

the other--- Eastern Conference- not McGrady.

Has to be the goat and Kobe. And of course Wilt would have to have the record that will never be broken.

Kobe (27.2 in '05-'06)

Wasn't in the last 20 years, but MJ averaged 27.8 in '86-'87

 

[Shanemansj13]

Was thinking Harden but I doubt it, he shoots a ton of FT’s

not LEBron

most shots ever in a season was 23.1 for him.

remember 2000 or later- ESPN only went that far back in the stats i looked at.

[WiggyRuss]

Eastern Conference player.

 

[WiggyRuss]

no MJ was not taking that volume by then.

 

[trojanfan12]

Umm I said the goat

Wasn't in the last 20 years.

 

[WiggyRuss]

he took even more than Kobe- 27.8 per game. shot under 40%

 

[thunderc]

Wasn't in the last 20 years.

Yeah

 

[trojanfan12]

A.I. with 27.8 in '01-'02 was the other

Van Vleet may get 60

 

[WiggyRuss]

how are the Wizards so fucking bad with Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook? They should not be the worst team in the NBA. They really shouldn't.

I hate it for Westbrook, I know this is killing him. I was looking forward to tonight becayse he and Lillard have had some wars.

the Magic were 6-2 at one point. Now they are going to be 8-12. Now those 6 wins were 2 against WSH, 2 against CLE and 1 against OKC, one against MIA

A lot of it was fools gold- but Fultz was actually playing really good ball before he got hurt.

Jonathan Isaac and Mo Bamba were some high lotto picks and neither has done dick. Both are still very young but youd like to see something from those guys. Isaac and Fultz out for the year hurts them thats for sure. He was starting to look decent. Isaac looks like he will be fine. Bamba looks lost. Drafting him and then committing to Vucevic never made any sense. If I was a team that was in a rebuild mode and wanted to take a flier on a guy- i might take one on Bamba and give him minutes and see if he could do anything.

Injuries killed them. I hate injuries
