Will we see an NBA team score 200 points?

[KRIT]

What do you guys think. It’s definitely not out of the question. May not get 200 but we should see some teams get close.

[jts1207]

No.

[Enkhbat]

Maybe in 4 or 5 OT games.

[kidcudi92]

Nope

[KRIT]

We’ve already seen a team score 149. Now just add in a couple overtimes and we could get there. If you don’t think 200, then what will be the highest this season? The record for scoring in one game is 186, I think there is a great chance that is broken soon. No one plays defense in this league.

[Seto]

Obviously depends on OTs. Literally speaking though, we have seen a team score 149 points in regulation, we have seen a quadruple overtime game a couple years ago, mix those together and it tells you 200 points is certainly not "impossible". It's unlikely though, would have to be a perfect storm.

[7deuceoff$uit]

The Kings will be the team to give up 200.

Better question is do we see a FBS team hang 100 or NBA team hit 200 going forward?

That is what I’m thinking. We have basically seen a team score 150, if we can get a few OT’s then it is possible. Don’t count out GS, if they are hitting 3s they can put up points quick.

I played on a team back in 1989 that gave up 95 pts to University of Houston. That was not fun.

[Mr KLC]

I'm just glad we're not seeing the low scoring games of the 90s anymore. The Jazz scoring 56 points in an NBA Finals game was brutal.

[lakerboy]

NBA players are so lazy

[Roscoe_Word]

I think we'll see a 163-142 score before season's end.

[t-wizzle]

I think we’ll get back to normal pretty soon.

[VeggieDog]

All Star Game.

[ThaTopMoron]

how many overs will the lakers start the season with

Don't think GS are a good candidate tbh, someone would have to push them for 63-68 mins.

A Nuggets/Pelicans type game could work, 2 high scoring teams that are well matched.

[Enkhbat]

Golden State scored 144 points in regulation tonight and Steph Curry sat out the 4th quarter. Would have been interesting if the Wizards kept it close.

[stevenash]

GS sits their regulars in the fourth if the lead is double digits.

[Golden fleece]

Warriors on pace for 190 mid 2nd quarter tonight

Probably wont do it but if there was ever a team that could.....

[pattymayo]

GS sits their regulars in the fourth if the lead is double digits.

As do just about every team in the league.

Will never happen barring 3 or 4 overtimes. If a team somehow has 150 in the 3rd quarter chances are they're winning by 20+, they aren't going to be pushing it in the 4th.

I think the max we could see in regulation with this new NBA is 165

[maggieballs]

What the hell is wrong with you?

No.
