Alright, pop quiz time. Name the highest scoring backcourt in the NBA since December 27, 2010.
A few tandems instantly come to mind – Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis in Golden State, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili in San Antonio, Steve Nash and Vince Carter in Phoenix, Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher in Los Angeles, Dwyane Wade and whoever in Miami are all good starts.
But you’d be wrong in all of these cases.
Since Larry Brown stepped down as head coach of the Bobcats and Paul Silas took on the interim tag, Charlotte’s backcourt of D.J. Augustin and Stephen Jackson have been lighting up the scoreboard. Their combined 44.5 points per game average is tops in the league – without a close second. Wade an Carlos Arroyo are No. 2, six points behind at 38.5 strictly due to Wade’s 31.9 points per game during this stretch.
First in scoring and 7th in assists.
Impressive!!
