True statophiles will already know this, but for those uninitiated in the sacred art of looking at basketball-reference for five hours a day, let me clue you in: Ed Davis is the best offensive rebounder in the league this year. On a per minute basis, at least. Andre Drummond is probably still a little better…

Ed Davis 17 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
Scrolling down the Nets-Mavericks box-score, I am struck by an intriguing total: Ed Davis with seventeen points. Using my amazing powers of statistical recall, I quickly determine that seventeen is the most that Davis has scored in the past three seasons. A highlight video must be made at once. My eye darts to the left…

I guess I didn’t exactly realize that Ed Davis’ father was an NBA player until I looked at his basketball-reference page. So now I know that Terry Davis, who played ten seasons in the NBA, seems to have been mostly the same player as his son is, except one inch shorter. That’s cool. But don’t…

I thought I was going crazy. I had already checked myself in to the mental asylum and everything and was settling down in my padded room, preparing to live out the rest of my life surrounded by similarly-afflicted crazies like in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest or something.

Now it’s the Blazers commentators…

When will Ed Davis get 30 minutes per game? Will it ever happen? He’s shown himself to be extremely effective in 20 MPG or less, but a quick look at his gamelog indicates that he can also be a beast when playing a bigger role in the game. His problem is that he isn’t a…

Sources from within the Davis family have provided me with an advance copy of Ed Davis’ 2014 Christmas Wish List. The sources wish not to be named for fear that Ed will no longer get them anything for Christmas with his huge stacks of cash. Here is where I exert subtle pressure on Gordon Hayward’s…

I’d hate to be a Raptors fan right now. They suck. It’s weird too, because you look at their roster and you think “Yeah, they’ve got some nice players, maybe they can make the playoffs in the weak East this year”. But no. No playoffs, just another lottery pick that turns out crappy like the…
