    Because they worked their asses off. They ran and ran and ran. Keep running off screens until you get an open look.

    Number 1 and 2 in distance traveled per game?

    1. CJ
    2. Lillard

    http://stats.nba.com/tracking/#!/player/speed/?sort=DIST_FEET&dir=1

    Then when you look at speed, then break it down on offense and defense, Lillard and CJ give it all they have every game.

    HCP was just trying to say if other teams listened to him then his win projection would have been correct this year and we would have sucked after all. Which of course is wrong as you pointed out. He was doubling down on a bad prediction to make it even worse.

    Yep. Sucked right into a playoff spot and the 2nd round. I think some are saying we sucked because they hoped we sucked worse.

    I didn't start this thread to bash on HCP. I think the distance traveled per game is an interesting stat and the technology being used in games to track it is fascinating.

    CJ is leading in the playoffs in distance traveled on offense and defense. The guy is working his ass off on both ends of the court.

    That is crazy! Great find Sly. Goes to show how are those guys have to work, to EVEN get a shot off, quality or not. Makes their success this season even more impressive. Imagine how much better we will be when they DON'T have to work that hard to get open looks.

    The NBA should be scared for the day that happens, if I was a coach game planning for Dame and CJ WITH a another couple capable scorers would be a nightmare.

    Playoff leaders:

    Plumlee leader in assists in the post.

    Plumlee 6th in offensive rebounding.

    Plumlee 3rd in defensive rebounding.

    Plumlee 4th in total rebounding.

    Lillard 4th in drives to the basket.

    Lllard 2nd in touches per game.

    Lillard 1st in front court touches.

    Lillard 1st in time of possession. (Which makes sense since his name is Damien. Possession... Damien... get it? Damn I crack myself up.)

    Lillard 3rd in pull up jumpers.

    Lillard 5th in scoring. .3 behind Klay and Harden for 3rd place.

    Lillard 8th in assists.

    I think that list shows that people have unrealistic expectations for Plumlee. Because he has already blown away my expectations with his play this postseason and those stats just back it up.

    All of our players are battling their guts out and exceeding all reasonable expectations.

    Channeling my inner asshole:

    Plumlee leader in most missed shots from 2 feet or less.

    Lillard leader in most missed technical free throws in a single game.
