49 piece for Lauri

gotta say - sad to see him go- but its def. true the Cavs have done a very good job identifying talent the last few years and the right guys to go after. I dont see too much bad money on their payroll. Some but not much. Right now I don't think there is a bad contract on the roster. That is pretty rare in the NBA.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Again, the entire team was tested, not just Mitchell.

I do not think the whole team was tested.

Agree kinda, which was the point of my 'scoring is way up' thread.

50 used to be notable, now it's just hey wow great game. 70 is a bit much but 60 is the new 50.

Magic says a lot of things

The All-Star shooting guard and his teammates were tested the morning after his historic performance.

GOATUM had a nice game 29/14/10

Herro is a better shooter but Butler is the guy you want with the ball if the game is on the line.

Not a bad option when inbounding from the far end of the court without a timeout and 3 sec left. Still got a clean look. No time to run screens for a particular player.

In the early 2000s, Antawn Jamison going for 50 in back to back games was the highlight of that era of Warriors basketball. I'm a sadist for following this team for so long. LOL.

Donovan Mitchell hit with random PED test, league said 71-point performance shouldn't have happened

Now what kinda absurd nonsense is that? 70 points has been scored in a game multiple times. Yet never before did the league go outta their way to say a game like that should have happened.

Sorry man but I think that's fucked up because Luka did something that nobody has ever done before yet the league didn't drug test him.

He left the line too early on a free throw apparently, should've been a violation and the game wouldn't have gone to OT. Not sure what the benefit of these comments is after the game is official, just serves to piss people off lol.

The league didn’t say that. A Y! Sportswriter did.

It wasn't the 2 minute report?

 

[tlance]

It wasn't the 2 minute report?

The league issued the 2 minute report that called out the missed FT violation.

The comment about the “71 points should not have happened” came from the Y! Headline.

The league office did not actually say those words. They just published their report.

They also failed to mention some of the Bulls players also went into the lane early lol. Overall nothing comes good from that two minute report. Might need to allocate more time into training refs
