I know Ricky Davis trying to triple double off his own hoop as a Cav is one thing, but beasting against his own team takes this 20/20 to a whole new level!

Jusuf Nurkic: 11/10/3/0/2 versus Bucks

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm calling it: there's only one game still being played tonight, neither team has a Big that qualifies for automatic inclusion. And, with it being a twenty-point game in the fourth, I doubt that anybody's going to see enough time to earn Honorable Mention.

And, with that...

(BMOtN) Joel Embiid: 40/10/3/0/2 versus Bulls

Honorable Mention
Mitchell Robinson: 19/21/1/2/3 versus Jazz


I would have given the award to Mitchell Robinson, if the Knicks had won. But the Knicks didn't win. So, he gets Nathan. And nobody else does, either.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Shaq just said that there's a center in the modern game, who can do something better than he could (Embiid has better footwork!). I think that's one of the signs of the apocalypse.

Karl-Anthony Towns: 25/9/3/0/0 versus Kings


Honorable Mention
Jaren Jackson, Jr.: 26/11/1/1/1 versus Clippers

Jokic probably would have gotten the award, with that line, if he weren't the reigning MVP. I'm choosing to hold him to a higher standard.

2/9 Big Man update:

Jarrett Allen: 15/14/1/1/1 versus Spurs

Karl-Anthony Towns: 21/7/8/0/1 versus Kings
(BMOtN) Domantas Sabonis: 22/14/5/1/0 versus Timberwolves

Sure, why not? Chicago had a better quality win, but the Kings (minus Sabonis, et al.) were on the second night of a back-to-back.

Hell, at least spell his name correctly!

TIL... My bad, I thought I was spelling it correctly. But, hold on, though: I've been spelling it like that, for years. Hell, I spelled it like that, on this page, already. How come it's only a problem, now?

Well he is a king now and considering it’s a kings fan site, we don’t want our guys to be disrespected. Even if it wasn’t intentional

haha, that's a fair point, and there really is no problem at all as it's just part of the game that I'm playing within your game.
