And the other one is the Miami Heat. which like sort of makes sense because they've played a lot of playoff games. But on the other hand, part of that run from the eighth seed was because they were shooting so well. I know. All right. So still to zip. Mike, you have control. The board five is still available. I've recircled it. You know what?
OK. In game five against the Lakers, Rudy Gobert had 27 points and 24 rebounds. The other active players who have recorded a 2020 game with rebounds in the playoffs are all Hall of Famers. or Hall of Fame blocks, let's say, except one. Okay. So it's Jokic, Giannis, AD, LeBron. All those guys have had a 2020 game in the playoffs.
Who is the active player that will not be making the Hall of Fame, but did have a 2020 game in the playoffs?
OK, I just checked Hall of Fame probability on basketball reference. Zero point zero percent.
Well, Mike, the way I'm going to tell you you're wrong is that Andre Drummond's Hall of Fame probability is 1.7%. That means Vooch's has to be higher. All right, Andrew, you have any guesses? I do have a guess. Okay. What about Jonas Valanciunas? Okay, so first of all, Vucevic Hall of Fame probability, 0.9%.
The correct answer was Jonas Valanciunas. Congrats, Andrew.
That was impressive. That was a good poll. He is a beast. Okay, Andrew, you have control of the board. I'll go to number two. Question number two. Okay, this is a fun one. James Harden has played in 172 playoff games in his career. In what percentage of those games did Harden score 15 or fewer points? Now, before you answer, you get to choose who answers first.
So you can make Mike give a percentage and then you go higher or lower, or you could choose the percentage and make Mike go higher or lower. If you let Mike answer, though, and he gets it exactly correct, he would get a bonus point. I'm going to guess the percentage.
The percentage of playoff games that James Harden has scored 15 or fewer points. Wow. The percentage.
Um, and if you're hard and lover, I came up with this question after game five, he had a great game game six, 28, six and eight. Congrats. That was one of the games. 27%. Okay, Mike. Wow. Andrew has set the bar at 27% of James Harden's games, playoff games, James Harden's games, that he has scored 15 or fewer points. Would you like to go higher or lower?
Andrew, you're within two percentage points. Wow. The correct answer is... Twenty five percent. Mike gets the point, man. Quarter of his games.
Wow. Andrew, obviously, you're a James Harden hater. You were. Did you have to lower your number? Were you originally thinking like 40 percent?
I'll go ahead and take six. Question number six. There are two NBA franchises whose last playoff win came prior to the existence of the COVID-19 virus. Who are they? So you get one point per correct answer. So the last time these teams won, COVID-19 wasn't a thing yet. Who are those teams? Wow, it's really only two teams.
Won a game, is that what you said? Yeah, won a playoff game. But it's only two teams. The other 28 teams all did it.
I'm going to tell you right off the bat. Oh, wrong. That is wrong. Because they did. They won one game in the 21 playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers. With Russ on the team, right? They won game four. That's right. I knew Russ was on the team the last time they won one. I just could not figure out what year that was. Russ had a 19, 21, and 14 in that game on three of 19 shooting. Yo.
What a good Russ line. Okay, Andrew, you could steal two points here. You can get this right. Hornets. Hornets is one.
Andrew, that's why I chose this question, because I didn't think your brain would let you choose the Spurs. But yes, it is the San Antonio Spurs. Impressive. Which means we have a tie game with two questions left. Who's turn is it? Andrew. Wait, is it? I'll take. Yeah, I'll take four. Oh, there's three questions left. That's why I got confused. Okay. Good thing we have the sheet. Yeah, I have to.
Nikola Jokic recorded his 21st. Actually, did he tonight? Did he have a triple-double tonight? Would that be his 27th? He did not. He did not. Okay. Jokic has 21 career playoff triple doubles. Okay. He recorded number 21 during game five of the Clippers series. That puts him third all time for most playoff triple doubles. We're going to name the other nine players in the top 10.
So how this works is Andrew will give me a name. Then Mike will give me a name and we'll go back and forth until one of you stumbles. So these are top 10 playoff triple doubles. LeBron James. He is number two on the list. Mike. Magic Johnson. He's number one on the list. Andrew. Russ. He's number. Well, actually, now he's fourth on the list.
Now it gets fun.
