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

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.

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.

Making it 31, 8, 8, 4, and 3 is. That's totally arbitrary.

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.

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.

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

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.

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