What does it tell you about the status of the game...?

...when a guy can score 32 Points on 6 made Field Goals?

Talking about Isaiah Thomas last night, he shot 6-14 but finished with 32 points, that's even hard to accomplish for James Harden. Can we just go back to letting teams play defense? Celtics and Wizards combined for 72 free throws last night.

It is a complete myth that there are more fouls called in today's game. In 1985, the average team took over 2100 free throws. Last year, the average team took less than 1900. People assume that defense was better 25 years ago, but that isn't true, scoring was way higher in the 80s and 90s than it is today.

Moses Malone had 6 games like that during his career. 6 or fewer makes, 30 or m ore points. Those games happened between 1979 and 1989, the heyday of the Bad Boy Pistons and the tough Knicks teams under Pat Riley. Malone didn't even have the 3-point shot to pad his scoring line. Six baskets and a ton of free throws.

I agree.
