I thought Kareem’s career high woulda been higher…for some reason I thought he hit like 60-something. I guess 50+ just doesn’t sound as dramatic these days. 50’s the new 40…

Coincidentally, The Knicks and Bulls are just as bad this year as those teams who managed less than 20 fgs in a game. Well, maybe not…but close.
