    Actually that would mean Meyers is Jermaine O'Neal.

    but only if you consider his progress in ratio with the speed of his jump shot release...like divide O'Neil by 2.5 and you get Meyers

    What's most impressive is that Meyers accomplished this without swish3 cheering....I thought that was the jinx all along

    Jermaine took a long time to progress, likewise I don't want to give up on Meyers.

    Meyers game of his career?

    Did his stock just go up?

    Good game. Would have been really hard to swallow another one like yesterday after the effort being put forth.

    Hard not to love this team. Its obvious they are tight and want to do well. Gonna be a rough day when that trade happens, no matter who is involved.

    I don't "love" this team. They need to move some pieces.

    I like the guys as people, though.

    As I posted earlier, you notice that Leonard and Vonleh became starters a month before the Trade Deadline.

    Quick, trade Leonard while GMs think he's an unstoppable force of nature.

    Not sure but hasn't he been nursing an injury? Also ET was playing pretty well and was playing more SF than usual.

    I think that's just coincidence. Btw Leonard isn't starting, and Davis was out.
