    Players have shot more than 40 attempts more often than you would think.

    22 times since 85 season.

    9 of them were Kobe.

    Record since it has been officially recorded is 49

    Chamberlain shot 63 in 100 point game along with 32 FTs

    durant and ibaka both out for the season.

    without westbrook hogging the ball, this team gets blown out every game.

    Wouldn't it be similar to the Cavs losing Lebron and Love?

    Kyrie never won more than 33 games on his own.

    And they still couldn't win more than 40 games. In the east.

    Westbrook has a weaker supporting cast.

    Though I think maybe thats what you were trying to say.

    Yes it is an automatic suspension at 16 technicals unless somehow it gets rescinded but that seems unlikely.

    I expect it to be rescinded just for the competitive balance and drama of tomorrow's game against Portland and Pelican's game against Minny.

    He's already had 1 T taken away this year, if this is 2 then you know the league has motives.

    With durant and ibaka done, the motive should be to get the pelicans into the playoffs.

    It would be pretty much the same thing with Durant, Kobe, LeBron, CP3, Curry, Harden, Griffin, Irving, Lillard and Wade. Yes, pretty much the same with Anthony Davis too.
    Wouldn't be the same if it was for DeRozan, Lowry, Z-Bo, B.Lopez for example. Some guys are just more box office than others, so the NBA likes to overlook in these kind of situations.

    I wouldnt care much because it was a pretty weak T to begin with...but this is the second one taken away from him in the last month. At some point you have to realize he is obviously saying something that deserved it or he wouldnt be getting T'd up in situations that dont look bad on tv. Its not like this is Joey Crawford giving out Ts for no damn reason.
