Well, Sunday night's win over the hapless Heat marked the fifth consecutive DNP-CD for Damon. Ranting about the Cavaliers barely beating a 13-win team at home is for another blog. Here I'm still grasping to understand what Damon did to take himself out of the rotation completely. There are just two games left before the postseason and DJ is stuck on the bench, probably wondering the same.
I saw this from Brian Windhorst's "Dribbles" section in Saturday's Akron Beacon Journal. Apparently Mike Brown doesn't see the value in this information:
• The Web site (www.82games.com) revealed something else with its clutch stats. The two players in the NBA with the best plus/minus rating, the difference a player makes on the scoreboard when he is on the court, in clutch time are Damon Jones (+48 in 89 total minutes) and Zydrunas Ilgauskas (+36 in 134 minutes). That's 1-2 in the entire league. James, by the way, is fifth at +32 in 210 minutes. It speaks to how well the Cavs have played in close games. However, Jones and Ilgauskas often are not on the floor, despite their good numbers.
DJ has once again been relegated to the role of team comedian
