- We are now all the way up to number 2(!) in defensive efficiency, trailing only the Indiana Pacers. - Griffin has his PER all the way up to 23.3 now, he has cracked the top 10 (he is tied for 8th with only 7 players ahead of him: James, Durant, Paul, Anthony, Bryant, Duncan and Harden). We could conceivably have two players ranked in the PER top 5 by the end of the season, and 3 in the top 20 if Bledsoe can hold on. - Matt Barnes has his PER all the way up to 18.3. - Odom continues to increase his PER, he is now up to 10.6, and is only .4 away from catching Caron Butler (11). - According to the OC Register this morning, VDN says there is still no timetable for Chauncey to return. - We are now 9 games ahead of the Lakers in the loss column.
