    I knew Grant was eventually going to regress to mean on 3pts, but didn’t think it would be this drastic.

    He hasn't regressed to the mean, he's still 6% above it.

    He’s going in that direction. He was shooting 48% earlier in the season.

    I'd like to elaborate on this a little bit becasue I know a lot fo people have questioned why Greant always guards a guard. I think this is the coaches trying to compensate for a defensively weak roster. They are at least trying to do something creative. It may still be an experiment. Grant has never defended guards regulary but I think they hope that with his athleticism, with practice, he can do it.

    I don’t think the Cavs have gotten a single point when they’ve tried to isolate on GP

    Allen got away with a blatant illegal screen on that last possession.

    Watching GP and Hart guard and switch Mitchell and Garland on that possession was a thing of beauty.

    Gary should be getting a minimum of 30 mpg if he’s not on a minutes restriction

    Blazers +12 from the 3pt line in the 1st half. Not because Portland shot the ball so well, but Cleveland was ice cold.

    What's the over-under on how long it takes us to score to start the 3Q?

    I just look at the Dame 25 points on 16 attempt. The bench has 4 points. Really there know balance to offense right now. The nearest guy with 10 points.

    Ant and Grant have 10 apiece at halftime...that's on path to have 2o apiece..Grant would have more if he made his freethrows

    What is up with the Blazers and the Free Throw line this year. As a team they just seem to struggle. 7-12 tonight.
