Its not who starts the race its who finishes it. Juice the most talented SG 25 and under in the NBA and its not really that close

Congrats. He's scoring against an incredibly undisciplined team that is making no effort in the transition D, and he's being guarded by Martin.

Juice would have done the same thing against any team ( and will do the same thing this season). He going to be due for some 40/50 point games this year. Such an explosive scorer. . Its pretty clear ( taking all 3 preseason games into account) that his ball handling has tremendously improved in terms of doing isolation/pick roll moves. He has improved his quickness.first step which is shocking at him being 24 years old, which has really allowed him to get into the paint more than ever before, and to the free throw line.

He isreally dynamic. He can take it to the rim, play in the pick n roll , create his own shot, make a play for his teammates, has legit 3 point range, athletic,

He will be a daily 20+ppg 5+apg guy this season. Especilaly now that he is the number 1 option (feels good to say).

A list of players who did 20 + / 5 apg last season

LeBron James 27/7
Kobe Bryant 28/5
Derrick Rose 22/8
Russell Westbrook 24/6
Chris Paul 20/9
Dwyane Wade 22/5
Deron Williams 21/9


He really is that talented, so it doesn't surprise me he will be mentioned in such company.
OJ Mayo , Michael Jordan , Allen Iverson.

Damn looks like brother redz is still suffering from his demons

Dude can't seem to get better. Seems he was upset over a game. Same thing happened in CLE

DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks guard Delonte West has been suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said.

Carlisle did not specify a timetable for West's suspension.
Stop being so disrespectful.

A fifty point game from Mayo might be more harmful than beneficial to the team. It might cause his ego to be inflated. Better for him to just have a solid season.

Maybe he could try playing defense so Kevin Martin doesn't look like a Superstar


alot of it came off transition. Mayo had trouble guarding Martin at times, but Martin hit shots being closed out.

It wasn't as if Kevin martin was going iso all night and destroying marion/mayo.
