Donovan had 38 in his first postseason and 34 in his second, both on far more offensively retarded rosters than this. Maybe he won't have 50 again, but using that as a knock dismisses how hard it is to get close to 50 regardless of the situation.

NBA Single Game Playoff Leaders and Records for Points | Basketball-Reference.com Active guys that have put up 46+ in "normal" settings, haven't put up 50 points this postseason. That shyt don't just come to you :russ:

this thread title and premise is all cap.
as NBA players are professionals and this is nuffin more than an exercise in professionalism.
similar to if NBA players had to work their way up.
in challenger circuits with lesser concession based parts and amenities.

this format actually echo's that these players are professional.
That if they can not produce here. Then they try need to suffer profrssion draw declining level scrutiny.
As this environment echoes the sentiment of professionalism.
in their professional occupation to the utmost.

anyone naysaying is not aware.
of what a professional is in basic premise at all.

you don't get to critique the venue as a pro. You are a pro and are supposed to perform at the highest professional level regardless of circumstances.
this environment is what innately being a professional is.
in the most feral based sense, period.

I can tell you nikkaz not no draw in shyt independently contracted professionally. Let alone a top tier headline grassroots draw.
if you say act or do different.
than perform professionally at the highest level.
regardless of situation or liability.

that goes for the NBA to anything.
where you are regarded as a pro, or professional.

What I will say is the shooting seems unaffected by normal conditions, but I wouldn't say there is no pressure...

You turn around and all the teams who were the best in each conference before the restart made the Semis anyway----->we all knew Mke, TO, Boston, and Miami were the 4 best East teams in the regular year. Before the shutdown people were already predicting Miami could beat Mke so "if" that happens, it won't be because of the bubble, people questioned whether Mke could beat them anyway...

And before the shutdown people were calling TO paper soldiers and starting to gas Boston for being able to make a real run for The Finals...

Same thing in The West, the two LA teams were the best teams in the conference all year and that proved itself out in Rd1; Denver was at the top and advanced; no matter who wins between Houston and OKC, they were jockeying for position anyway before the shutdown....

So the best teams ended up advancing anyway like we expected if there was never a pandemic...

I think if anything, this further legitimizes the championship. Everybody under same conditions, the best teams are winning anyway, the best team will probably win it all. All the inflated scoring and shooting numbers are inconsequential to me if the best teams are winning anyway...

I dont get what people dont understand about this.

What I will say is, there are no intimidating atmospheres in todays NBA. These arenas are so state-of-the-art.

There is no musty Boston Garden.

No old Chicago Stadium.

No Bad Boys Palace.
You forgot the old Oakland coliseum too
Sounds like the 2020 "playoff atmosphere" doesn't make a difference then
