What's Up With the Recent Scoring Explosion?

[DonDadda59]

Terrence Ross? Really? Dude averages 9 PPG on the season and he goes off for 51?

Is it 2006 all over again? Stern give his final orders to refs to let wing players go wild?

Obviously it's a weak defensive era.

This was already known. But seems like since the new year it's gotten out of control. Scrubs with 7 PPG career averages are going for 50+ and franchise records?

That's 2 franchise scoring records tied or broken in back to back nights. The second being TERRENCE ROSS.

Something's up

This run and gun era of basketball where players have the green light to throw up threes to their hearts consent is the reason.

But this comes a night after Melo goes for 62 and other guys have monster scoring nights. Durant has been going nuts the past few weeks. Not like it's an isolated occurrence.

Plus, I can't stress this enough... it's TERRENCE ROSS.

Inspired by KD. It happens when the best player in the league is a scoring specialist. Unlike the previous season 2012 - 2013, they're bored because the best player back then is a passing specialist.

Scoring > Passing in terms of entertainment and inspiration.

Also gives credit to what Kobe said earlier this week.

The league is weaker and it's making guys who usually wouldn't come close to this type of production go off.

[absalom]

This week from what I remember

KD 54
Ross 51
Aldrige 44
Derozan 40
Green 39
Gay 41

Even Mirza exploded with 34

forgot about Melo with 62 yesterday

[LAZERUSS]

My god, what would players like Oscar, West, McAdoo, Archibald, Barry, Dr. J, Kareem, and Wilt be doing in this era?
