It’s just a preseason game, but nevertheless Poole has been cooking tonight.

And you people really clowned on KG for his 60 ball comments

Some nights poole will score 25 on horrendous efficiency but one night everything will go in and he will score 60 lol

He said two 60s this season. Only Dame, Harden, and Kobe have done that the last 30 years. Anything can happen but that'd put him in some crazy company

Given the Wizards make-up it's not impossible

I'd say it's more likely than not. Dude's out there being the guy on a shit team. We've seen younguns come in and be scoring steady 40 on teams that are tanking but JP definitely the dude to be able to push for 20 more when he was scoring that on the warriors.

You think it’s more likely than not that he has multiple 60 point games???

[–] popop143@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

JP scoring 60, Wizards totaling 69.

There is def gonna be stretches where he gets hot like he was today and the coach is just gonna let him go ham. He and Kuzma have the longest leashes of anyone on the team by a mile. There’s gonna be a lot of inefficient clunker games but your gonna have explosive ones too like tonight

I actually find it surprising that Booker isn't on that list.

Back when the Suns sucked, they leaned on him super heavily and every now and again he'd have a monster game. It actually surprises me that there weren't two in a year for any of those seasons.

Went and looked, and two 50 point games in a season is the best he's done like that. The season he scored 70 he didn't clear 39 any other time.

Yeah - I'm honestly surprised. I remember thinking he was just the best player on a bad team who could go off on the odd occasion, but I'm really surprised it didn't happen as often as I'd thought.

No it’s the James Harden part he lost me on

KG low key is pretty accurate on most things. He will then go overboard on something crazy lol.

Equivefent

KG is 69% accurate, 42.0% of the time.

That’s like batting .378, man.

Those are all star numbers.
