Lonnie Walker leads comeback over Rockets with 28 points (2OT)

[jhtheking]

About time. Spurs were down 22 when Lonnie started going off. He had 19 points in the 4th quarter, including the Spurs’ last 8 points in regulation to send it to OT.

He had more points in the 4th than the rockets combined (18).

I don’t watch much of the Spurs but Skip said Pop hasn’t been giving him minutes until last night

That was great, I’d missed it. Thanks for posting!

Would have been nice if we saw some of that when he was here.

Agree Lonnie at times shone. Saw him live in Tally vs FSU and he floated threw the air like butter, or a butterfly. Was a thing of beauty.

I also seem to recall many times where he fell short at critical junctures and was very disappointing. I am not sure choke is the right word, but some free throws and other shots come to mind. And I would trade the full current team for 5 x Lonnie of course. But TCGrad has a valid point too.

He choked in the NCAAT game.

Followed him when he played for Reading in HS. Kid is a hometown legend. Deserves everything he gets in life. Great player. Better kid. Way to go Lonnie!

Refs stole the game from Rockets. They didn't count slam dunk by Harden that was good. Rockets would have won in regulation. Good to see Lonnie have good game.

Happy for Lonnie, but for selfish reasons I still wish the NCAA required kids to either stay for 3 years, or go pro immediately coming out of HS. Miami had one opportunity to cash in with Lonnie, and that was it. He is by far the most impressive prospect I've seen in a Miami uniform.

Need baseball rule for basketball. College game would go back to being college basketball.

Don't really feel anything for these kids that stay for a year and split. It's mercenary stuff that doesn't do much for me as a fan. More power to him however.
