Everyone right now needs to go to www.nba.com and look at his career stats. Never once did he make over 100 3-pointers in his career until last year, when he blew his # away and hit 225. Also last year was the first time he shot over .400 percent from beyone the arc (assuming he shoots over 50 attempts on the season).

So basically Damon is shooting at his career average around .355 percent. He has career stats in about every category last year, while this year he is once again near his career average (besides assist)

Now as for Marshall. I know my whole house here will agree with me if they read this post. He drives me nutz, i really hate this guy. If you watch a month full of Cavs games you would think he averaged 3 pts 4 boards in 25minutes and shot 10% from the field. At times it looks like he has never had to put the ball on the floor and actually driblle, it looks childish at times.

He is shooting his lowest from beyond the arc since 1997. And that is all he does. Ive seen him post up maybe a handful of times. And you can argue that he rebounds, but any 6'10 Power Forward will have the ball come in their hands if they play enough. He just drives me nutz, atleast it looks like Damon is trying other things because his shot isnt falling. As for Marshall its the 3pointer or nothing.

Damon has taken about 12 shots in the last 4 games, you cant hate on him for that. He is trying to creat and penetrate and play some defense, Marshall i cannot speak for.

Please someone agree/disagree on the almost Marshall hatered, and i thought i would stick up for Damon for once. Not because he is playing well, he is just playing up to "Damon" status.
Like I said when Marshall is on he looks great. The problem he is only "on" like one every 5 games. The rest of the time he looks really old out there and has terrible shot selection.

Even with Hughes hurt, I think Ferry made the right move by signing him. Anybody who watched the Cavs before afer Hughes went down can see how much better we were with him. Marshall and Jones just suck IMO however: limited players whose minutes need to be cut down. Note I'm not saying they should be benched but I don't they have earned the minute they are getting
