    Ben Wallace started 75 of the 78 games he appeared in a Cavs uniform. Why would he be included as part of the bench?

    78 - 75 = 3. DUH!

    Why did you include Verejao as part of the starters then? That would be 6 starters.

    Wallace and Z missed 40+ games in the 2008 season (66 win year), so Varejao finished with over 40 starts. He was sort of 1/2 and 1/2. I wasn't really trying to categorize him as a starter, just saying that he's the same player as Noah so neither team has the advantage there.

    And then Wallace wasn't on the team in 2009 (61-21). Hickson started and Varejao was a bench player then, but I'd still take the Bulls current bench over a bench with Andy, Gibson, Delonte, Jamario Moon, Jawad Williams, and old Z. Especially considering Varejao is the only one of them that appeared in over 64 games for various reasons.

    I just saw that randomly. I thought it was funny.

    Last night Lebron became only the second player to go for at least 31,8,8,4,3 two times in a game in the last 25 years, the other was Michael Jordan.

    Stats like that are stupid. If I just keep adding different categories I guarantee I could find something that only Eric Snow has done. Doesn't mean anything.

    Pts, Boards, Assists, Steals and Blocks are stupid?

    Making it 31, 8, 8, 4, and 3 is. That's totally arbitrary.
  • Skyhook79
    Magic 48
    Lakers 31 yeah 31 at the half

    Halftime

    Lakers absolutely brutal.

    Kobe 6-10 rest of team 5-29 smh. I think Bynum is taking a dive so the Magic won't want him. 1 pt so far and 3 fouls. smh
  • robj55
    Lakers look awful, this season with the way the schedule is we are going to see a lot of games like tonight from teams. Going to be hard to tell who the favorites are with the way the schedule is.
  • Laley23
    Yeah, you look around the league on any given night and teams are in the 60s in the 4th.

    Just tonight:
    -Toronto
    -Memphis
    -Detroit
    -Boston
    -Phoenix
    -NYK (who are up-tempo as it gets)
    -Cleveland
    -Lakers (will be)

    No training camp and shortened preseason has hurt the level of play overall, a lot of teams and players struggling.

    Knicks being blown out at home by the Bucks, what a let down they've been.

    They are being beat, and have been a let down. But its an 11 pt game. Not a blow out.

    Boston scores 71 against the Suns and loses, hate to say it but the time has come...
  • Azubuike24
    Without Rondo, they might as well develop the 2007 attitude and go for a top 3 pick...Anthony Davis or Andre Drummond would be a nice building piece...

    They can start by sending Ray Allen to the Lakers.

    For what??
  • Azubuike24
    I don't see Boston even wasting their time considering such a move. It would be inconsequential.

    Bench help. I am pretty sure Allen can score more pts by himself than the entire Laker bench right now.
