Only Ilgauskas (47%) and Boozer (51%) shoot over 45% from the field for the Cavaliers! Our free throw percentage has risen from 69% in the the first month to 75% now! Mihm, Davis and Miles all shoot below that clip! After a couple of months sitting 3rd and 4th amoung Cavalier scorers, Ilgauskas has moved into 2nd with a notch under 15ppg! The Cavaliers are ranked in the NBA..... PPG : 15th, dead middle! 92.4 FG%: 24th with 42.6. Ouch! FT%: 17th with 74.9. We were ranked 29th. 3pt%:29th. Last by a good margin! FTA : 13th at 25 per game. And can be improved RBS : 1st at 46.9! Needs to stay like that with our poor fg% AST : 11th at 21.7! Not bad for a team with bad ball movement. T.O : 16th with 14.3! That number is dropping quickly since McInnis's arrival. STL : 23rd with 7.0! Very ordinary! BLK : 5th at 6.5! Z has been averaging over 3 himself this last month! Just some food for thought!
I know this comes as no surprise to most here, but the rebounds are up so high due to the number of missed shots. If our FG% improves, our rebounds will decrease, in theory.

We are the clear leader in defensive boards, meaning we force tough baskets, or teams are intimidated of us! That doesn't sound right!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting insshc:</div><div class="quote_post">or we have a boozer and ilgauskas =]</div> Those two are not known for their defense at all. Although Z has been blocking extremely well (over 3bpg the last month) Very strange that statistic!
well, if we're talking defensive rebounds, boozer is ranked #4 in the nba... and i dont think you can complain much about z's defense recently at all, #7 in the nba in blocks and playing much better recently

For us to grab so many defensive boards, we must be forcing misses! Z the intimidator!
Post players are suppose to have high field goal percentages. Its great that these 2 studs are keeping it up.
Z's been a lot tougher as of late too. He's been hitting people and such, he's pretty big compared to most so that can be kind of scary.
