Anyone else feel he's not playing like his new self this game...

It's seemed like his hand has bothered him and also you can tell he's tired the last few minutes. A few of his shots have been short and he hasn't been driving as much.

Melo and the Iceman have both had 30+ points in a quarter so how has Kd been the first to score 30 in <20 mins?

They did it in the second and third quarters and played more than 20 mins total.

KD had 30 points in less than 20 played, that's the point

I think it's the first time a player has finished a game with 30 points with under 20 minutes played. We've definitely had 30 in <20 minutes before. I've seen Kobe do it, Lebron had 31 in 14 against NYK once, Anthony definitely did it in 07 I think.

Sigh, hope he's in the game vs. LA. Want to get to .500.

You don't need Durant for that. Probably don't need Westbrook either.

This game was right there for the taking.

Someone could've scored 30 in under 20 minutes (like Melo and GG) but end up playing more than 20 for the whole game. So they don't qualify for this record.

Lol Jackson you're not Kobe

I swear this kid chucked himself out of millions in a new contract.

[MisterHibachi]

Jackson is pretty bad on defense lol he allowed Barnes to drive right to the rim for that Draymond put back, Curry drove right past him then Barnes hit a jumper in his face to seal it.

Bondom is right, Jackson is kinda exposing himself this season.

He has looked like a MLE player since KD and Russ came back.

It's frustrating...

Trolling. I still take him over your boy Curry. He's done this for a while now, not just this season. Curry's not better at anything other than shooting.


Curry's best games by game score:
Miami, Houston, LAL twice, ORL, NOP twice, Dallas

Other than Dallas and Houston (neither of whom have a good PG at the time at least), all bad teams.

[thizznation]

So Curry has lit up Dallas, Houston, and OKC, while Russell GOATbrook has lit up the Knicks, T-Wolves, and a DMC-less Kings.



Ok

Ok

Jameer Nelson, Pat Beverly, and he played OKC without KD for most of the game, whoopee.

there's more to a team (ESPECIALLY when talking about defense) than the point guard. It's pretty common knowledge around here that your team defense gets impacted the least amount by your point guard. Good teams with good defense are based around rim protection.

Oh, got it. If I say Curry is GOAT will you go away, because you're very annoying. I do agree though, Curry does contribute very little defensively to GSW's great defense.

[thizznation]

I'm sorry if acknowledging the fact that Russell GOATbrook has put up gaudy stats vs god awful teams makes me annoying. Dragging Steph Curry through the mud isn't helpful nor relevant to the discussion. I'm going to disengage at this point.

[Wall34]

I personally prefer Curry over Westbrook hell i thought Curry was better last year also and he also clearly outplayed Westbrook tonight who looked out of control most of the night...KD was simply amazing probably would've scored 50 or 60 if he didn't get hurt a little.

I don't know about that. Curry's a better playmaker, better at running an offense, and better at controlling the pace. Curry's also arguably is a better scorer than Westbrook. I was disappointed in Westbrook yesterday, he showed the ball hogging tendencies again while Curry was toying with OKC
