-On Basketball Prospectus<\/a>, Kevin Pelton pretty much puts the LeBron James foul issue to bed. Good stuff from him.<\/p>\n

-Bandwagon Knick has a really good response<\/a> to my transition post from earlier in the week, replacing “fast break” statistics with “<10 second” statistics, which are tracked by 82games. Not only are the Knicks quite a bit better early in the clock than their “fast break” points would suggest, but the Cavs are first in the league in eFG% in the first 10 seconds of the shot clock. Posts like this are what I was hoping to see when I wrote my initial post.<\/p>\n

-Kelly Dwyer has LeBron James at the top of his MVP ballot<\/a>, and Anderson Varejao as his front-runner for DPOY.<\/p>\n

-LeBron James was among those “tricked” by Shaq’s slow start, according to Brian Windhorst<\/a>. Also contained in the article: Mike Brown going out of his way to praise JJ Hickson’s defense.<\/p>\n

-Terry Pluto gently bemoans how the Cavs’ stellar play has occasionally been overshadowed by trade rumors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

-Since this was in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, I have a flimsy excuse to post it. (I probably would have done so anyways.) Bill Watterson, creator of “Calvin and Hobbes,” granted his first interview since 1989<\/a> to the PD’s John Campanelli. I remember reading Calvin and Hobbes collections for hours on end when I was in first grade and being absolutely mesmerized. When I go back and read the strips now, they still seem fresh, funny, and smart. I recommend the interview to anyone else who grew up with Calvin and Hobbes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
