Rick made no sense… 🤦🏿♂️
There are always bad teams but how many players are still dropping 71 in a winning game. Did someone else drop 71 before Dame against Houston. Nope, how about any bad team in the last 5 years. Nope, how about in only 4 quarters. Nope, As Dame has said many times before. "Put some respect on his name" period.
Rics a joke
Ant and Grant Ave. Over 20ppg dummies
It’s hard to score 71 off 38 shots in a empty gym let alone in the nba
Bro get Acho off the show PLEASE joy and Shady can carry it !!!
Ric literally be copying skip bayless
Viewers understand this speak n Joy would not know him if not a NBA player just like are comments not read by her or Rick n shady I know this for a fact shady not nice to some fans . Tampa FL who care not me.. there Rights this show is a business not there job to care about me or you .fact
Viewers understand this Paul vs fury fight I heard good but my money donated to helping kids n firefighter my plan
Viewers understand this I know your boys don't like me but pound 🧂 salt
No matter who is it against and how many times it’s done before, this was the most efficient 70p game ever. If u still hating on that, nothing can impress u then 😂😂
Shady always includes himself in his takes
That scoring feat of Robinson is a farce. Go through the details of that game. Kobe's 80+ is for real
It's still a great achievement
Damian scored 71. You can say it was against the worst team in the league, you can say scoring is up. It doesn't matter, he scored 71, give him his due. When Kobe scored 81 it was against the 12th team in the east Toronto Raptors, with a 27-55 record. Is Ric going to say Kobe's 81 really wasn't that great, Toronto was a terrible team?
Big difference between dame and Mitchell because Mitchell only average about 27 a game besides that 71 but same averages about 34+ which means dame way more consistent
Rick is spitting basketball knowledge to people who doesn't understand basketball. The analogy from acho is just ludicrous
Dame doesn’t shoot from the 3 point line, he stands another ten to fifteen away from the Dame Point line 😂
I would rather have Dame’s career then Curry simple and plain
I seen Damian Lillard disappear in the playoffs and watch CJ do more for the team that year they went to the Western conference finals
Before Rick talked I knew he would try to diminish what Dame did..
"Oh it’s the Rockets" okay those same Rockets played vs some of the best scorers from Trae, Giannis, Booker, Dame (before) , Luka (twice), to Embiid etc.. How come none of them scored 71 if the Rockets are so bad?
"Oh Donovan Mitchell did it first this year" Yeah he did while going to OT and play the full OT. Meanwhile Dame did it in 39mn Rick..
Only player in NBA history to score 70+ with 10+ 3s 5+ Assists 5+rebounds.. Yeah that’s helluva IMPRESSIVE!
They have to get shady off this show. He’s horrible
I mean Acho is on the right track tho. When I saw the notification about Dames game my immediate reaction was “another 70 point game this year?”. And to be fair I’m not discrediting this amazing performance at all. But it feels like every single week we are getting highlights and notifications of someone scoring 50, 60, 70 points. I feel like the scoring fatigue is already hitting. I have a feeling this won’t be the last 70 point game we see this season. But great for Dame, now if only he could go a win a ring somewhere more deserving of him.
The first player to drop 70 under 40 minutes just imagine how many rings dame could win if he got to Milwaukee with Giannis
Dames 71 isn't the same as Kobe's 81. Dame shot more 3s to reach 81 while Kobe shot more 2s in a harder defensive era
Video game numbers used to be few in-between. Now an average player can get 40-50 any given night. Dame dropped 71, a bench player for the nets dropped 40 something in a game. Back then bench players wouldn't sniff a 40pnt game like that. The game is more spaced out now and the defense doesn't have the same rules they used to have. Teams then had specialist. You had your shooters, shot makers, post players, defenders. Now specialist aren't needed
Am I the only person who feels like Shady kinda sucks at being on this show?
What did acho tell shady at 3:01??
Come on now. These guys want to have a whole segment on lillard. Of course he’s going to eventually score that much. He’s been with the same franchise his whole career. You know how easy that is? Let’s SPEAK when he puts up these numbers for another team. If he wants a challenge he’ll go to the Lakers!!!
Which team has 3 players that average over 26.6ppg?
D Mitchell did it overtime no?
Respect the greatness fr. 71 p. 71 p. Respect dame for What he has Done and doing.

Yes, it was against the worst team in the NBA…
But, there is ALWAYS a "worst team in the NBA"… Someone is almost always playing the worst team in the NBA.
And how many 70+ point games have there been? Even the worst team in the NBA is still an NBA team.
That's a weak argument…
The most efficient 70 Dfruck
Kobe scored 81 against a then one of the worse teams in the league the raptors but nobody never said nothing about that. Whether it’s against the best or worse team 71 in a NBA game is super impressive
