105.8
So Phil Jackson better take note this is not 1992 anymore. If you cant score over 100 you have no chance.
Phil is no fool and his offense is certainly capable of producing points. We need to stop this nonsense that the Triangle is incapable of producing a potent offense! He knows a team needs to be able to score as well as defend.

Also, this was the first set of games of the first round. That average will drop as the playoffs go on.

This. And you just mentioned the brand names.

I think Phil might have a small clue as to what he's doing....BTW, he won his last Championship in 2010...not '92
Why do people act like Phil last coached in the 70s? My other favorite is when they say the reason he won was because he had great players. Please tell me which championship coaches didn't ?

^^^^^
This...If you do not have a legit MVP talent on your team, future or former, you aint winning a championship.....From Dirk, to Duncan, to LeBron....
Phil's teams could always score and defend. That is the key to winning championships. It always has been. The 90s Knicks team were all defense but always struggled to score when it mattered the most. I always remembered how hard it was for the Knicks to score. They kept even the worst teams in the game.

You didn't have to score 106 pts to win games, just 98 as the average score for the losing team was 97.75...Harden and Houston gave up 108 pts to Dallas or the avg would have been in the low to mid 90s...
Top seeds cracked 100, what else is new?
