If your answer is 'No', I applaud your soberness.
If your answer is 'Yes', please come back down to Earth.
A few days after the Denver Nuggets scored an NBA season-high 168 points, to go along with a whopping 52 point win against the Sonics, the Miami Heat couldn't help but get jealous. However, there was absolutely no way that the Heat could match such a feat; so why try to be someone else when you can do what you do best?
The Heat scored an NBA season-low 54 points in a 42 point loss to the slumping Toronto Raptors. Yes my friend, 54 points in one entire game. I couldn't believe it myself, I actually had to ask my own dog to pinch my crotch just to make sure it was all real. True enough, it was right there in front of me: the number 54 and the word Final together in one statement.
We're talking about scoring only 10 and 9 points in the 2nd and 4th quarter respectively, against a team which plays up-tempo. We're talking about shooting only 25% from the field for the entire game, God have mercy on your fantasy team. More importantly, we're talking about the Toronto Raptors scoring on 29 assists in the game against the Miami Heat's 20 field goals. Earl Barron and his 1 out of 10 field goal shooting must be relieved that they weren't playing at home instead, because they would have never gotten out of the arena alive. You wanted statistics? You got them.
Sure, they had their excuses. Dwayne Wade is out for the season due to a "swollen knee". Udonis Haslem might also be out for the season because of "ankle surgery". And for all we know, Shawn Marion is sipping on Pina Colada the whole day watching birds fly by due to his "sore back". Gee Shawn, you left Steve Nash for this? I'm going to be surprised if the team doesn't get an Oscar nomination; these set of actors have got to be the finest I have ever seen in awhile.
What I want to know now is what would have happened had the Denver Nuggets faced the Miami Heat, with both teams doing what they do best: 'Melo and company running up the score on their pitiful opponents (remember last year's brawl ignited by Mardy Collins) and Pat Riley's crew bending over. Now THAT would be a classic.
Now that I brought it up, I want to know two things:
The most points scored by a team in a single NBA game.
The largest margin of victory in an NBA game.
Obviously I don't know the answers, and researching it myself would become too tedious. I'll give you my dog if you can get me the right answers though. Come on guys, make yourselves useful.
At least the Beavers' cheerleaders are mega-hot.
Peace out.
