What happened to Kyrie Irving's knee?
But yeah, bad. And let's start with the Kyrie Irving injury. Kyrie was going up for a layup in the blowout loss to the Sacramento Kings last night. And it looked like he hyperextended his knee. He then stayed on the court. You know, laid down for a while, grabbing that knee for a while, got up, shot the free throws. Obviously, first thing that comes to mind, you start thinking about Kobe when he tours Achilles, you know, and shot the two free throws. But man, I was watching the video of that and I noticed, man, he had tears in his eyes. And so. You know, as of right now, like, we don't know what the injury is. It feels bad, you know, when you see a guy like Kyrie Irving standing there with, again, with tears in his eyes while he's shooting free throws. So, obviously, you know, our heart goes out to Kyrie. But this Mavs team feels a little bit snakebitten.
Yeah, man, my heart goes out to Mavs fans also. I mean, like, obviously, Kyrie is having an incredible season. I think it was worthy of an all-star nod. He got the all-star nod, being able to, like, be an all-NBA type of guy for them this season. Really, really excellent, just all around, really leading this Mavericks team. And so for him to go down with injury, it's like, what else do the Mavericks fans have to deal with, you know? Yeah. Ticket prices going up and you got Luka Doncic. And even on a serious note, like there's just so much happening in Mavs world right now where you can't help but feel bad for every single aspect of it. And then you got to wake up every day reminding yourself that Luka Doncic also got traded from this team. It's tough. Really, really tough.
Yep. And still no update on the injured guys, Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, Derek Lively. So hopefully that coming this week. So we'll keep an eye on Dallas and hopefully, you know, hopefully Kyrie avoided anything bad. But as of right now, we don't know. It just looked bad. There was some basketball last night that was good. Even though Houston, everyone was out for Houston. No Shane Goon, no Fred VanVleet. I mean, they started Reed Shepard in his first NBA start last night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. And look, the Thunder took advantage. Shea Gildress Alexander took advantage. Shea scored 51 points. Oklahoma City gets to 50 wins. No other team in the West even has 40 wins right now, S. Yeah. That's kind of sick.
So I have a bunch of OKC stats right now. The first one, I have to say, SGA, by the way, to our conversation about most offensive player, best offensive player yesterday, SGA has the most 20-point games, most 30-point games, most 40-point games, and most 50-point games this season. So he's doing it all, which is unbelievable. But on a team perspective, so the 50-15 club, I'm making a new club here, right? Phil Jones. Jackson said 40-20. Let's do 50-15. The Cavs did it the other day. Thunder now just did it. And before this season, there were 20 teams that made the 50-20 club. Basically, 80% of those teams made it to at least the conference finals. 10 of them made the finals and eight of them won the championship.
