That we have two 60+ point scorers on the same night while continuing the trend of ridiculous scoring nights that we’ve seen over the past 5-10 years.

That’s why nobody should ever compare Lebron to MJ. MJ had to go up against teams like the Pistons while Lebron goes up against his soft booty buddies.

Didn't we have a 100 point scorer back in the day?

What does that have to do with modern defenses?

Probably did. Wasn’t that like 55+ years ago.

Didn't Jordan score like 60 something in a playoff game?

Talk about a shifty defense

One game? While league records for offense are being set now? Ever take a statistics class?

Modern (as in the last 5ish years) offenses have just gotten insane.

Teams are taking and making double the 3s per game than they were in 2006-7. They’re taking them at the 2nd highest attempts per 100 possessions in history and making them at the 2nd highest rate in history.

Defending the perimeter is very difficult, but yeah, modern defenses just can’t keep up.

162-149 was the final score in that game back in 1962.

Gave up 60 to one player and won. It's called strategy.

When they needed a stop he didn't score
