Cleveland Cavs at Milwaukee Bucks at 3pm

    ^That's a pretty misleading stat. Shaq scored 8 straight points during the run that the Cavs put on them too--which was the biggest run in the NBA this season. It has a lot to do with Shaq being on the floor when they started the game by going down 11-0. LeBron had 14, 5 and 10, only took 10 shots and was only a +8. Z and Andy were +31, they had 13 points combined. Delonte had 21 and he wasn't as high as Z and Andy at +24.

    +/- is a cool stat but you get a better idea of a player if you look at the stat over a course of time, not just one game.

    The Cavs have LeBron at +17.7, Andy at +12.9 and Gibson at +0.9...everyone else on the team is in the negative. Shaq for the season is -3.2, Z is -3.5.

    Shaq also only played 15 minutes in the game, and as I said, a big part of that was in the beginning of the game when they were getting worked.

    trueblue just likes to try and quietly stir the pot. Honestly, he's been on Shaq since he came to Cleveland.

    I just don't think he is a good fit for them.

    I know he was brought in basically to stop Dwight Howard, but I'm not sure he can chase Howard up and down the court all night. I hope the Shaq deal works for Cleveland though.. Lakers vs Cavs this year in the Finals would be HHHUUUGGGGEEE.. even bigger than what we wanted last year. Plus (even though I've said numerous times he won't leave) I don't want to see LeBron go. Cleveland is a great basketball city now that LeBron is there.
