Haslem has to be like 40. I was playing with him in nba live 2005.

Markus with a career high 25 in the season finale.

Markus with a career high 25 in the season finale.

25 points in only 24 minutes, and he only made two 3s.

Markus ended up playing in 30 games this season and he has played in 67 in his two pro years. Improved his stats just about across the board from year 1 to year 2.

I would think some team would offer him a contract this summer. Whenever he gets extended minutes, he seems to be able to put up points. He has that Vinnie Johnson quality to him.

[GoldenEagles03]

25 points and 1 assist in a game where his team loses by 5 allowing 146 points in regulation is the most Markus Howard game ever.

Good for him though! Nice to see him get more time on the NBA court.  He's worked and works hard to be where he is at.

What was Markus's plus minus?

-17  iirc

The whole team had a whopping 10 assists on 49 made baskets. Going to blame him for no assists on  the other 41 made baskets? Everyone was playing hero ball, it seems.

The whole game was basically garbage time because it was meaningless. Everybody was jacking up shots.

I'm not blaming him for anything, I'm just saying everything about that game is right up Markus' alley

The NBA could take the 5 worst players from each roster and create a heck of an entertaining B-league.

Markus' performance in "meaningless" late season games last year is what got him playoff minutes in a crunch when the Nuggets had injuries.  Regardless of the game situation, the fact that he can come in cold and immediately get buckets is his most attractive NBA quality and will likely keep getting him spots on the end of NBA benches for a number of years more.

[Uncle Rico]

Seems to me a dude with Marquette as his alma mater getting NBA minutes is a good thing for the school, even if it makes certain scoopers mad

Good point.

Yep. For example, even though I preferred Markus to Sam when looking at the entirety of their Marquette experiences, I am quite glad to see Sam representing. I hope both of them get to make an NBA playoff memory or two in the next couple months.

[GoldenEagles03]

45 points for Jimmy Butler tonight on 60% shooting with 0 turnovers.

He is on a Hall of Fame path right now. If he somehow gets a title he will be a lock.

Nah,  Bubbe meises, aina?

[94Warrior]

Chuck & Shaq must read Scoop.  Both referred to Jimmy as 'Jimmy F'in Butler' in last night's postgame.

Chuck said it to Jimmy's face in the interview.  Jimmy said, 'I appreciate that.'

Kyle: "Take that dumbass hat off."
Jimmy: "Leave my hat alone."

Only players in Miami Heat franchise history to have 3 or more 40+ playoff games. A guy named LeBron and two former MU players: Dwyane Wade and Jimmy F'in Butler.
