Feel free to add any other cool stats about this season. It's definitely one we'll look back on and wish we'd spent a bit more time soaking it all in.

 

That team won 54 games.

One of the BIG keys to our success that I noted in the "The Lopez effect" and "Rebounding Concerns" threads. Our defensive rebounding limits our opponents possessions and as a jump shooting team, our offensive rebounding helps us score even when the jump shots aren't falling.

Wow, so Aldridge is going to make 4340 field goals over the next two games. He's going to set some pretty significant NBA records, not just team records, if he does.

typo fixed

I harped on this on Homers Edge with several others thru pre-season and beyond, and was rebuffed by the "expert" Dungeons and Dragons contributors there. I'm right there with you. The offensive rebounding ability of Lopez was blown off, as was his impact on LA, let alone the entire starting unit. The O boards are so huge, and it is really quite dumb-founding how obnoxious the D&D Dave Deckards were about not acknowledging the vastly improved rebounding prowess with just the Lopez addition.

FGA
4. Terry Porter 8506
5. LaMarcus Aldridge 8481

The first number is FGM, the 2nd is FGA (reading is fundamental )

 

My bad, thought they were comparing FGM for both players since they were on the same line. OK, got to go find my 12-sided die...

Such a great post.

 

So these stats must be from Dec 28th?

Loss to Mavs 2 points
Loss to Heat 1 point
Loss to Pelicans 2 points
Loss to 76ers 2 points

 

No, but it's a good point. I don't even know what I was looking at now. I'll fix it. thx. I know they are 9-7 in close games so I have no idea what I was looking at. Busy doing other stuff and probably was looking at a different year even.

 

The Blazers have out rebounded opponents by 130 rebounds on the season, 1676 to 1546. Thats 3.6 extra boards per game.

 

Love these kind of posts. Repped.

 

Didn't Ben Goliver post this yesterday?

 

You tell me "Mr. Insider". I don't read stuff from people that Stotts laughs openly at when they ask post game interview questions.

Are you insinuating that John lives in a trailer?

 

I was curious what I should get him for Christmas if it was. It looks tiny. Fabreez!

 

pretty sure thats the trailer he lives in part time with like 9 other dudes.. which is why it has such a huge satellite dish

STOMP

I'd be upset, but it's an accurate statement.

 

Definitely one heck of and entertainment system if it were not. Nevertheless, Fabreeze it is. lol
