    I think Nick Wright's take on scoring is correct.
    The last time scoring was this high was 111 points per game in 1985 Current league average is 113. Those teams in 1985 were scoring that many points without using the 3 prolifically.
    The league got an influx of talent after ABA merged with NBA. There were only 24 teams so many talented players on a limited amount of teams.
    In the 60s there was a year where teams averaged 118 per game and Wilt averaged 50 that year while Oscar Robertson averaged a triple double. There were only 8 teams and almost every team was stacked with Hall of Famers.
    NBA expansion happened and we went up to 30 teams so the talent was spread and scoring went down.
    Now we have had 30 teams for a while. The talent is coming from all over the world instead of just the U.S.
    Out of the top 10 players in the NBA almost half are foreign players.
    Giannis Nigeria / Greece; Luka Slovenia, Jokic Eastern Europe, Embiid Cameroon.
    7 of the top 8 rebounders in the league are foreign.
    We have a lot of talent, we have analytics, and players who can primarily focus on just basketball.
    Also, all the players scoring 40+ and 50+ are all superstars. There are no random Sadiq Bey 50 point games this year. If average players were getting 50 then I think we would have a problem.

    I very much dislike when people bring up other seasons when taking about who deserves to be in THIS YEAR’S all star game.

    Denver just beat the Clippers by 35 pts.
    I know its just one game, but it was embarrassing to watch if you're a Clippers fan.

    Channing is wrong on the nuggets. He's talking about begging of season nuggets. The last 10 games their defence has been awesome. Their last two losses was the second night of a back to back after an intense game with boston. And the other was the second of a back to back without MPJ, Murray and Gordon.

    Hey Richard and Channing, listen I love your podcast and I'm following you for quite a while. Allie is the nicest host. I love all of yours energy❤️❤️❤️
    Listen when I saw Perkins say he take Ja over Steph as a starter and then Channing miss Steph in his list. I got heated and it's pretty obvious we will link your strings with lebron because you all were former teammates of his. Channing was my favourite of y'all three. C'mon Channing I expect better from you lol. Now Allie is one, you're second and Richard is third lol just because he is too much on YouTube😀😀😀
    Love y'all guys❤️❤️

    We knew this in the offseason when we were told MPJ and Murray would play, where's everyone been?

    The Nuggets short segment is filled with the adverts???

    Did Channing really say he likes Zubac against Jokic, Zubac hates the match up. Zubac consistently preaches how Jokic is unstoppable.

    I wonder when will people stop bringing up Clippers like they're something serious.

    They haven't done anything note worthy every since they acquired PG and Kawhi.

    If the Grizzles move some players and pickup Miles Bridges can shoot, rebound, dunk, and inside threat. Image him and Ja dunk highlight film. Bane is not playing like last year. Brooks seem to have lost that super swag he had last year.JJ Jr is recovering from surgery.
    Mike Brown is doing a great job. He is not receiving the media interviews and flowers he deserve. Especially for a team that has not made the playoffs in 16 years. Mike Brown should be COTY. J Vaughn is runner up. Utah, and The Nets need a true big man. Utah has the shooter. Claxton is not big enough for team with true big men: Jokic, Steven Adams, Giannis and Valanunias.

  24. Keith Smith

    The Maverick need to start J McGee at center. Move C Wood to forward. Move some players and pickup Miles Bridges and/or BJ Augustin. Maverick need to get the ball out of Luka hands early 90% of the time. Luka can get his points anytime/anywhere.
