Injuries or not the Magic are not a good team. But they're in the East so they'll always be in the hunt for the Playoffs.

Damn, the ORL were able to regain the lead and close it out.

Crazy. The Fournier and MCW back to back 3s of all people got them going again.

Vuc did the rest. I might have to buy a Vuc card now..took him to score 30 plus and ORL win.

Edit: GS lacking some size vs the incredible Vuc.

Vucevic is an absolute baller. Had him on my fantasy basketball team once, he's a stats machine.

It's true that the Dubs lack size atm but Vuc will still get his lol

When it comes to the Warriors: I love seeing shimmies, flexes, nasty mouthguard chewing, and yelling - and the best part, they lose the game. Fantastic!

Where is exitmusicblue these days?

Vuc is a beast. But a 30 point triple double was total destruction of the little Dubs. Hence why I bet him.

He went exitstageleft and good riddance. Still nowhere near as painful as pgisback and a few other Bron fanaticals.

Embiid on 49

Monster

im not sure how people are saying lebron is leading the list right now. if embiid keeps playing the amount of games he is, producing like he is, and philly finishes top 2 in the east then he should be a lock.

pingbling23 · 02-19-2021, 10:14 PM

good late game tonight with the jazz and clippers. jazz going for 10 in a row tonight but i think the clipps take it.

brothertona · 02-19-2021, 10:58 PM

Edwards caught a body tonight, hey TopShot boys - I can guarantee this is going on a moment.

Well folks we are finally .500!! That was definitely a rough game to watch. Second half was extremely ugly. Usually when you blow a 19 point lead in the second half you lose but hey the twolves are hot hot garbage lol. I actually think that Jordan McLaughlin player much better than Rubio. Thankfully Saunders put Rubio in the last few minutes. Season best 31 for Norm, he’s been averaging 21 a game as a starter the last 14 games. Ugly win but we will take it!!!

Joel Embiid is the first Sixer with a 50/15/5 game since Wilt Chamberlain in 1968.

Quote:

35 minutes | 17-26 FG | 15-17 FT | 6 ORB | 11 DRB | 5 Assists | 2 Steal | 4 Blocks | 2 Turnovers | 2 PF | 50 points

According to the Game Score calculator that makes for a Game Score of 50.8.

According to Basketball Reference a Game Score of 50.8 ranks as the #18 Game Score of all time, after Kobe Bryant's 65/7/3 game on March 16th 2007.

Pretty fun that Jokic and Embiid both just got their first 50-pters so close together

Ugly ugly game. Raps climbing up the standings! It’s pretty tight from 4-11 though.

ninjacookies · 02-19-2021, 11:38 PM

Had no idea there was an AzN dude on the Raps til 10 minutes ago. I need his facial expression tatted on my sleeve asap.

50, 17, 5, 2, and 4. Unreal.

Add that to the fact that Simmons put up 41, 9, 12, 1 and 1 the other night, this team may finally be on track to getting it together.

Yuta is a beauty! He’s worked his tail off to make his way into Nurses rotation. He’s coming back off of injury so his minutes are limited but he’s a hell of a rotation player. Really good defender and hustles on both ends. He’s also become a fan favourite because of his infectious energy and he has a growing legend of female fans (refereed to as WatanaBAE’s) because of his chiseled good looks. Edwards might get dunk of the year but Yuta will always have a modeling career to fan back on

All-Star voting is a joke, always will be. He could be averaging 45ppg and Luka would still be voted ahead... Though actually Beal made it as starter so he probably just needs to score more....

I don't understand why they would buy out Drummond, several teams want him, surely they could get SOMETHING for him. If he goes to the Lakers this season is over.

I think you saying dribble instead of drivel kinda confused things there.

I have him this year, awesome to have his scoring and 3's with minimal turnovers.

When Capela and Trae are the only ones who can hit a shot, why aren't they shooting more? Trae especially, he's been shooting so few shots lately (compared to last year)?
Same with Zion, guy is 8/11 and so they don't let him get more shots?? But Ball takes more, right...
What an absolute choke job in the 4th by the Pels, 12 whole points? Damn.

hairyangryfella · 02-19-2021, 11:58 PM

Also how interesting to have Murray and Embiid both score 50 today - and Murray without taking a single free throw (Embiid attempted 17)!

just over 10 posts above this one, i say that lebron shouldnt be leading the mvp list.... how ignorant can you be?
