Mr T

The fine folk of TWolves Blog, blissfully ignoring the fact that the NBA Playoffs are proceeding without the presence of the Minnesota Timberwolves, have some great fun in store for us. TWB has a couple of Draft Lottery Mascot Challenges running, in order to select some mascots to bring the TWolves luck in the all important NBA Draft Lottery. The brackets work in an elimination, tournament style.

Firstly, we have the Celebrity Region, featuring the likes of Chuck Norris vs Mr T and Kanye West vs Taylor Swift. This is going to be the best bracket of all time. Of ALL TIME, you hear me Kanye?

Secondly, we have the Athlete Region of the bracket, where Joe Mauer takes on Robert Swift and Starbury battles Employee #8, amongst many others.

Get on over to TWB and vote on your favorites across both regions as the bracket of 64 gets whittled down. You can find both of them here:

Nicolas Batum: shooting the lights out through history

A Stern Warning banner

Statistically speaking at least, Nicolas Batum has been having a pretty special season for the Portland Trail Blazers. He may have missed a large chunk of the season to injury -- and who hasn't on the Blazers this season, it's par for the course -- but when he has been on court, he has done some things to make people stand up and take notice.

Towards the end of February I wrote about Batum's historic statistical night, where he managed to put up a line which was unprecedented in some respects and famously-linked in others:

Batum put up 31 points (11/16 FG, 5/8 3PT, 4/4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals and zero turnovers in 29 minutes -- no other player in NBA history has ever put up those numbers or better across all of those statistical categories in one game.

Well in terms of his shooting so far in this short season, there is a new statistical development to report. So far this season, in 21 games, the Frenchman is shooting 55.4% on field goals, 91.7% on free throws and 42.9% on three-pointers. Hefty percentages by anyone's estimation.
