4 game, non-Lebron MVP?

Tossup between Drew Gooden and Donyell Marshall, gotta give the edge to Donyell. He’s averaging a double-double with 11.7 pts, 10 rebounds, in only 24 minutes per game, off the bench. That’s the kind of delivery teams dream of having from a bench player. He’s only played in three games. You can pretty much bank on the guy.

Better 3pt shooter – Lebron or Donyell?

After four games, hard to make this claim, but the fact that Lebron wants to make it speaks volumes.

Asked who is the better 3-point shooter on the team — Marshall or himself — James said with a smile: “Me. Just look at the stats. It’s self-explanatory.”

So I did. Lebron is shooting .476 this year, .332 career from 3pt land. He’s taken 21 threes, made 10 of them this year. Donyell Marshall is shooting .400 this year, .354 career. He’s only taken 10 threes, made 4 of them. Whoever wins this battle, it’s a good one to be having.

A good win

Cavs got a win they needed in Toronto tonight. They beat a team they should beat, and they beat ’em soundly, by 12, on the road. The game was never really in doubt, especially in the second half. No one really had a spectacular performance, but everyone delivered solidly. At 2-2, Cavs are meeting expectations as they gel into a team.

I am still rather impressed with Drew Gooden. This guy is really playing well, better than he played last year, for sure.

Cavs defense a mess – but some bright spots

Not a fun game to watch last night. You’re not gonna win a lot of games when you give up 113 points.

Two good points. Larry Hughes has started to emerge as the Larry Hughes we thought we signed…21 pts, some of them very timely. But continuing to stand out as an early positive is Drew Gooden. This guy is showing up, and making a statement. 14 pts, 10 rebounds, and almost always in the right spot.
