Unless there's a game I'm forgetting about, we're 3-0 without Zach in the lineup. The game against the Barneys in Toronto, after he got suspended for e displaying Roy's ranking in the rookie standings to the crowd in Indy, and the most recent two against Les Wizzzards and the Knicks who Don't Say "Ni".

Significant? Not sure. None of the three teams involved is among the league's elite; though the Wiz and the Barneys are headed to the playoffs. On the other hand, none of the three teams involved are among the league's pits--though NY, like us, is one level removed from the dregs of the NBA. All three opponents had key players out (Bosh, Butler, and Crawford). Could be just the way the ball bounces; could be that the Blazers stepped it up to compenstate for Zach's absense (and wouldn't be able to do that long term). Could be matchups--LA is better to handle quick guys like Antawn Jamison or Chris Bosh. Or it could be that they play better without him. Possible reasons for that have already been discussed (holding on to the ball and making the offense predictable, hurting the team on D, etc)--but it is interesting.

Thoughts?
