Bad Big Toe

LeBron is gonna sit out a few games. According to ESPN, "The All-Star forward said Monday he'll consider sitting out Cleveland's next few games to rest his sore right toe, which he injured on a recent road trip and aggravated during Sunday's game against Phoenix."

But don't worry, cause LeBron is not worried either:

"There are still a lot of ballgames to play," he said. "We're still right where we want to be. It's all about getting to the playoffs. Once you get to the playoffs it doesn't matter if you're a No. 1 seed or eighth seed, it's best out of seven. We want to get home-court advantage of course, but we have to keep getting better."

Hey guys, here is a nice little statistic for you: We hold only a four-game lead over New Jersey, who holds the No. 8 spot. This teams attitude smells like 2 day-old dog feces, and it kinda sorta shows on the court a little bit.
I like their strategy: Sleep-walk through the regular season to get ready to play in the playoffs...Wonderful. At least we will have a dynamic backcourt combo of Eric Snow & Larry Hughes to help out, I mean shit the bed, I mean smile a lot, I mean dribble off their legs, I mean...shit.

Status Alert!!!!

From the world-wide leader in shitty journalism, NY prejudice, and star-fucking... and sports:
Status Alert: Hughes (sore elbow, right ankle, left leg tendinitis) is able to jump off his right leg again, as evidenced by two dunks he threw down en route to a 16-point performance during the Cavs' victory on Friday, the Akron Beacon-Journal reports. (Jan 27)

Sore Elbow...check
Right Ankle...check
Left leg tendinitis...check
3-13 shooting against a defensively challenged Suns team...check

But hey, as long as he can dunk, he is A.OK to go.

Larry and his brittle bones are stealin' Benjamins' Baby

I don't mean to berate Ferry and his miscalculation in taking Larry Hughes, but perhaps the front office should have done more homework.
Nerd stats for yo ass:
Larry Hughes has NEVER played more then 73 games in a season. In fact, Hughes has played, on average, 60 games out of 82, or 73% of all the games he has played (not counting this season). Perfect. I also believe he has been injured with every possible ailment this side of DeJuan Wagner (who has is fuckin colon removed).
Some other career nerdy numbers:
CAREER STATS
FG%: 41.4
You have got to be shitting me. A shooting guard has a career average of less then 42% shooting the rock under the 3 point line. You know who can shoot better then 42%? Desmond Mason. And Desmond Mason is pretty god aweful at shooting the ball. Ok, let's examine his 3PT %.
3PT%: 29.2%
What. The fuck. 29%? You know who shoots better then 29% from the 3 point arc? Air Bud. Larry is actually having a pretty good 06/07 year shooting beyond the arc (ranked 17th out of all SG's) but his career number hovers around the Yakhouba Diawara range...which is bad (no need to look it up)
FT%: 75.2
Ok this isn't too bad, but he is averaging 4.5 free throws/game for his career. This is on par for the league, but as a SG who is making top 25 money, it is quite low.

Now for the other important career numbers
15.2ppg 4.6rpg, 3.3apg
In 2002-03, Hughes scored 857 points. In the 03-04 season, he scored 1148 points. The following year, his CONTRACT year, he scored 1345 points in 61 games, and averaged 6 rpg and 4.5 apg. Quite the outlier, don't you think?
