The Golden State Warriors have signed forward Jermareo Davidson for the remainder of the season, the team announced today.
Davidson, who signed his first 10-day with the Warriors on January 5 and a second 10-day on January 15, has appeared in two games with Golden State. Davidson began the season with the NBA Development League’s Idaho Stampede, where he averaged 16.1 points and 10.8 rebounds in 15 games. At the time of his call-up, the 6’10’’ forward ranked first in the D-League in double-doubles (10) and third in rebounding (10.8).
By 1998, the average runs per game had doubled to 10 and giving up an out for a single base is questionable strategy unless the batter hits under .200, like most pitchers in the National League. Yet managers still bunt runners over and fans think this is some type of genius move. In fact, it’s been proven that giving up an out for one base actually DECREASES a team’s chance of scoring in an inning. But that’s baseball.
This leads me to a situation that occurs time and again in the NBA, a team leading by three points with 10 seconds or less left in a game. The trailing team has possession and the leading team has three scenarios which could occur. Yet most NBA (and almost all college teams) makes a choice that gives them LESS of a chance of winning.
Rajon Rondo had 23 points and seven assists before sitting out the fourth quarter with the rest of the starters, and Boston opened a 30-point lead before coasting to a 104-87 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night. The Celtics have won five straight since a 2-7 slump that was the worst stretch of the new Big Three era.
