C's Finish With 8 Players Averaging Double Figures

One of those players is Greg Monroe who only played 26 games for Boston but that's still a pretty impressive number.

Removing Kyrie, there are 7 players averaging between 10.2 and 14.5 ppg.

Jeez. As soon as I saw the title here, I had a flashback to those Walker/Pierce teams where only 2 players scored consistently.

We've come such a long way. Thank goodness.

Better than watching a couple of gunners and everyone else standing around.

Oh, the style of play is so, so much better since the ISO and illegal defense era. That sucked. The lack of ball movement, few passes per possession, and taking turns playing ISO... it was a bad time for basketball even as it made individual stars more marketable.

Wow. I guess I can't say enough bad things about that '95-'05 or so period.

Yep, just goes to show, these kids stepped up big time! All they cared about was winning because JB and JT surely could have been a lot more selfish! Let's hope it carries over to the big stage!

This only happened because there were so many injuries.  I mean if Hayward and Irving each played 70+ games, they would have likely only been joined by Horford, Brown, and then probably Tatum or Morris (with an outside shot at both of them).  No way Smart or Rozier gets there and Monroe isn't on the team.

I’d rather have two players average 50 than eight players average 10 each.

I would also rather have 100 points instead of 80.
