![]() ![]() ![]() And Boston’s been rounding into form as they try to break back into the top four from their position in fifth place in the East. The Celtics wanted a shot at revenge after losing on a Victor Oladipo clutch three-pointer earlier in the season. The East is dividing neatly into “the Big 5, the Easy First Round Outs, and Everyone Else.”īut let’s give it up for Kuzma, who is now shooting 45.5 percent in his last two games after going 16-of-24 (yikes!) Indiana Needs Myles Turner Back, Like, Yesterday. On top of all that, Blake Griffin was terrible (16 points, zero rebounds, minus-22 on 6-of-14) and Andre Drummond was a complete Dumpster fire (2-of-12 from the field, 2-of-6 from the line, only six points against his 17 boards.)ĭetroit is in free fall, now standing 17-22. Lonzo Ball had another one of his weird games where his offensive stats were garbage (five points, 2-of-6, 1-of-4 from three, no free throws) but evidence of his future as a slicker-passing Tony Allen were on display with his 11 assists and team-high plus-24 rating in 35 minutes.Īnd speaking of a big plus-minus, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope came off the bench and dropped 15 points on 6-of-10 against his old team and notched a plus-21 in 26 minutes. Someone clearly turned up Kuzma’s “recover from slump” slider in the video game of life. We tend to say that we get used to it but we can’t help but smile when seeing the figures which look more improbable each time.Kyle Kuzma, after shooting an atrocious 4-of-20 in his last outing, bounced back in spectacular fashion at Staples Center, scoring 41 points on 16-of-24 shooting in just three quarters of action as the Los Angeles Lakers clobbered the Detroit Pistons 113-100.įor Detroit, they helpfully provided an atrocious shooting night of their own (44.8/31.8/57.1), got to the line only 14 times all game (making eight, against 13-of-18 for the Lakers), and played horrific defense overall, allowing the Lakers to shoot 56.1 percent overall. A small quartet of guys who get pissed off during the summer, and therefore decide to go and smear the fathers of families who, whatever one may say, get smeared by players that one would dream of having on a floor with us.Īnother unimportant stat line in an unimportant game. He could clearly have made an effort to get a double-double but hey… To note that Delon Wright was, like at the Wizards, Kuzma’s teammate during this Pro-Am game. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also played in gray alongside Scottie, although the latter was more low-key with only 40 points, 6 passes et 4 interceptions. Although he failed to slow Kuz down – at the same time are they really trying to slow each other down? – the nugget of the Raptors meanwhile finished in 35 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists and a sacred festival of dunks of all kinds. Facing him, the reigning Rookie of the Year, Scottie Barnes, also came for the occasion. Kyle Kuzma dropped 67 POINTS against Scottie Barnes at the Utah Powder League Pro-Am yesterday □ /tDljleG2CXĪs you probably noticed, our dear friend wasn’t the only NBAer on the Utah floor that day. ![]() Disclaimer: Kyle Kuzma plays black, so avoid confusing him with KD. Of course, that doesn’t prevent us from taking advantage of what Jayson Tatum’s biggest rival offers us. Well, as usual, the performance is to be taken with a grain of salt – or even more – since the meeting was played while trotting and most of the guys opposite had barely left their day’s work at the butcher’s shop. The highlights of the guy? Tomars, fadeaways, 10-meter pull-ups and above all, lots of celebrations. Yeah, we especially note that Kyle Kuzma is a big selfish, not even able to pass to his teammates to get a crazy triple-double. Well then Kuz’, aren’t you venting an entire season of repeated frustration on poor guys who didn’t ask you for anything? In any case, it is the feeling that prevails at the sight of the statistics sent by the boy during the Powder League match organized at the Utah Pro-Am two days ago: 67 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists. ![]() A near triple-double with 67 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists, to also go for the victory. In line with the completely WTF performances achieved by some NBA players in the summer leagues, Kyle Kuzma has just laid out a rather nice line of stats for us during the Utah Pro-Am. ![]()
