Well, in tonight's game against Portland, the Blazers shot 0-20 from three. This set a new NBA record for the most 3's attempted in a game without a make, surpassing the old mark of 18. If a team sets a new NBA record for failing, it had to mean the Raptors won, right? Nope. Toronto lost by 18. That's right, the Blazers set a new record for incompetent 3 point shooting, yet still beat the Raptors 92-74. By the way, did I mention that the Blazers were missing Nicolas Batum and Wesley Mathews? Did I also mention that they started Sasha Pavlovic and Viktor Claver, as well had a lineup of Nolan Smith - Pavlovic - Claver - Luke Babbit - Meyers Leonard on the floor at once? So to sum up, no Batum, no Matthews, worst bench in the league and 0-20 from 3 = 18 point loss.

Since the Lakers are playing Cleveland tonight, I decided to pull up a few numbers from the ten games they had Kyrie in... Cleveland w/ Kyrie Irving (2-8) Cleveland w/out Kyrie Irving (2-9) Offensive Stats w/ Irving: 95.7 PPG, 358/846 FG (42.3%), 78/220 3PT (35.5%), 15.5 TO/G Offensive Stats w/out Irving: 93.1 PPG, 384/954 FG (40.3%), 85/256 3PT (33.2%), 16.4 TO/G Defensive Stats (Allowed) w/ Irving: 102.7 PPG, 390/775 FG (50.3%), 72/206 3PT (35.0%), 16.7 TO/G Defensive Stats (Allowed) w/out Irving: 98.5 PPG, 396/858 FG (46.2%), 76/197 3PT (38.6%), 14.9 TO/G I expected the offensive numbers to decline across the board, but I was shocked to see a couple of defensive numbers improving. Seems like Cleveland has more to worry about than I had initially thought. I didn't think they'd be a good team, and knew that they had started off bad, but I was thinking their numbers without Irving would be five times worse...but, yet, they really aren't.

Stat ON Court OFF Court Net Minutes 351 666 34% Offense: Pts per 100 Poss. 109.5 99.2 10.3 Defense: Pts per 100 Poss. 109.8 110.1 -0.4 Net Points per 100 Possessions -0.3 -10.9 10.6 I see a player who is a big plus here in his limited time.

The Korean word means "50", it's pronounced 'shwin' and it used to be integrated in my old avatar: http://i.imgur.com/RMs81.jpg The writing in the lower right corner is in Farsi.

This year or never! We need this ring! But honestly, i'm worried about Stoudemire's return. Does anyone think that STAT needs to come off the bench?

The best thing LeBron has ever done? Get into the post, and develop a post game. I said it for years...I could never call LeBron the best player in the NBA until he did that, and I'm sure people didn't believe me when I said I would. Getting that post game made it easier for everyone around him, allowed him to play the four (Miami can now play "small" without actually being too small), brings his percentages up even higher than before, and he's taking less threes a night than he was in Cleveland + his first year in Miami. LeBron isn't as skilled as Kobe when KB was in his prime (although I'm not taking anything away from Bron, it's close now), but his size makes up for that, and for years, I never understood why he just didn't go out and work on his post game. In Cleveland, he used his athleticism more than anything else, and while it did help he was like a Karl Malone driving to the rim, it would have been significant for him to play the four against a lot of teams the Cavaliers faced during the few years they had as contenders. The biggest thing his post game has done for Miami, though...it has separated LeBron and Wade as players. I felt like they were too similar in 2010-11. Sure, they made it to the NBA Finals, but it seemed like it was based on just talent alone, each taking over games, but doing so while the other stood aside...and when LeBron was having his horrible series against Dallas, it was making up for Wade's horrible series against the Bulls. Now, you have two superstar players who can play differently, and another all-star who plays off of them very, very well...and when you surround them with shooters, well...you have to give a lot of credit to Riley for constructing such a team, also.

Good to see MLB forum active...even if it's just for a day lol

Thanks! There's more where that came from: http://i.imgur.com/dXsNS.jpg
