[That was] the thing everybody was talking about pre-game — Avery Johnson’s plan to trap CP a lot more in Game 2. A lot of that trapping happened in the first quarter, but Paul escaped virtually every single one via a quick spin move or fancy dribbling. I was somewhat surprised that Avery didn’t go the trap in later quarters, but with Paul passing out of it deftly, what else was he supposed to do? In the end, CP made sure that the trap hurt the Mavericks more than it hurt the Hornets. [...] [...] At The Hive: Untrappable.

So it accounts for you making a lot of shots in that way. But yes, totally agree about Hilton's non boxscore contribution. He was so awesome that me and my roommate had a Hilton stream of Harmstrong jokes going- "Maybe he stayed at the Hilton last night!", "Guess who's king of the HILL... ton??" hahaha, and on and on. @mw: I wonder if AAirlines Center in Dallas tries to do anything in response. My guess: no way they come up with somethign as cool. @ Mikey: Well, the point of OREB% is that it counts how many OREBS you got out of all possible opportunities.

Not much to add to stats in such a great game. But RE the Peja heads, my favorite moment was when instead of just trotting around the court like they usually do, one dude ran with his giant Peja head at a full sprint from one corner of the court to the opposite end along the baseline and then right up into the stands, still at full tilt. It was frightening. But wicked cool. Yeah. Not much to add to stats in such a great game.

Are you serious, sounds crazy even writing that. And about Hilton, don't forget about the 2 charges he drew in the 2nd QTR, and the diving save from out of bounds that led to a transition 3 from Peja. I was loving Hilton's not-in-the-boxscore hustle. Well, on the OREB stats, its hard to get OREB when you shoot 60% for the GAME!!!! Are you serious, sounds crazy even writing that.
