When Enes Kanter is shooting two three-point shots a game, there’s a problem.

But he seemed to care more about the Westbrook dunk that sealed it.
But it’s safe to infer a move like this, flying out from Charlotte, where Jordan now owns the 7-3 Hornets, isn’t a move the greatest ever would make for just anyone who’s wearing his shoes.
Westbrook nearly had 28 first-half points, but a replay review showed his 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer was still in his hand when time expired. ESPN’s Micah Adams writes that they are each poised to put up a couple of the best offensive seasons in National Basketball Association history.
Marc Gasol hit a go-ahead 3-pointer from the left corner with 14 seconds left, and Memphis snapped Los Angeles’ seven-game winning streak.
While there are certainly others in the conversation, there’s not really a clear answer. Oladipo had 29 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, finally giving a glimpse of what the “Flash Brothers” can look like. Houston’s starting guards, Harden and Gordon, shot a combined 9 for 36.
Some NBA players study scouting reports to ready for games.
The Magic do not need Ibaka to be a high-usage player (his usage rate has crept to better than 20 percent for the first time in his career).
Not only is Harden leaning on an inefficient play type, he isn’t very good at it so far this season.
After suffering back-to-back defeats last week, the Spurs are winning again. This year? He’s in possession of the ball over 5-and-a-half times as much as any teammate.
The Rockets might get even stronger with the possible return of guard Patrick Beverley, who has been out since the preseason after undergoing left knee surgery. Tyler Ennis at 1.7 minutes per game.
“When we can be good at the point of what they’re trying to do and not chase the ball, we’re going to be pretty good”, veteran forward Nick Collison said. This is up from 12th in 2015-16 where they giving 103.0 per 100.
However, a game billed as a matchup between former teammates and current solo superstars Westbrook and James Harden ended up being defined more by the performances of their supporting casts. Unlike Oladipo and Grant, at least Roberson is consistently very good at one National Basketball Association skill. He pitched it back to Westbrook, who identified a streaking Adams.
Harden thought Westbrook’s attire was cool.
The closest over that time anyone’s come to doing it are Isiah Thomas (49.7 in 1984-85), Allen Iverson (49.5 in 2005-06), LeBron James (49.4 in 2009-10) and Michael Jordan (49.0 in 1988-89).
Westbrook is playing his ninth season.

“Thirty years ago, that’s me”, Jordan said of Westbrook. With 33 assists and a 50.6 success rate from the field, the Warriors set a franchise record with a fifth straight game with at least 30 assists and shooting over 50 percent. His True Shooting Pct – which takes into account 3s and FT – is almost 100 points higher. James Harden added 13 points and 13 assists. He should go down as the front runner for the defensive player of the year award and he could also win the most improved player award.
