“Every day I’m getting into the gym, getting in as much work as I can,” Smith told ESPN New York. “A lot of times previously in my career, I had negative energy coming into the gym, not wanting to be there, joking around, goofing off. This year, it’s been more serious.” The scary thing is that if JR Smith’s new attitude is here to stay, he could do this consistently for a long time; he’s always had All-Star caliber talent but getting past his own mind has always been the challenge. Mike Woodson deserves all the credit in the world for helping to tame Smith, a task George Karl could never complete in Denver.
OJ Mayo is on another planet: Dude is on fire. Actually, he’s a blazing inferno of swishes: Mayo is 31-for-53 from 3-point range (41 attempts is the next most entering Friday’s action), averaging 21.8 points per game (7th in the NBA), his overall field goal percentage is 49%… And he’s doing it all in his first season in Dallas with the Mavericks star player Dirk Nowitzki sidelined with a knee injury, meaning that when Dirk is healthy, Mayo will be even more open as a result of defenses trying to guard Dirk. If Mayo can shoot anywhere near the level that he’s shooting now when Dirk comes back, the Mavericks and their fans are in for a big treat. We here at SheridanHoops are looking forward to watching this about as much as we’re looking forward to stuffing our faces at Thanksgiving next week.
Zach Randolph is a legitimate MVP candidate: Z-Bo has been doing it all for the emerging Memphis Grizzlies. Randolph is averaging an NBA best 14 rebounds per game to go along with 16.7 points, but it’s the way with which he’s operating that leads us to believe that he’s a legit threat to be in the MVP race throughout the season. (Where he will end up in Sheridan’s next rankings Sunday?) Randolph is playing within himself and his effort level has been high and amusing to watch, even if it leads to an ejection every once in a while.
Jamal Crawford is leading the Clippers in scoring: After struggling mightily to fit in with the Portland Trail Blazers last year, it’s safe to say that J-Crossover has found a new home with the Clips. Through eight games Crawford is scoring at an absurd clip of 20.5 points per game in just over 29 minutes of action. The shooting guard has been electrifying and efficient, which has LaLa land in a frenzy. Can Crawford keep this up for an entire season? Honestly, I have no idea… But I do know that for whatever reason, he looks awfully comfortable with the ball in his hands and he hasn’t shown an inkling of slowing down. When he comes off the Clippers bench and gets the ball, he goes to work. That’s his job description for this team and it doesn’t appear to be altering anytime soon.
Jose Calderon is excellent trade bait: Toronto traded for Kyle Lowry this summer, so everybody knows that the Raptors are going to trade Jose Calderon, who is in the final year of a five-year, $45 million contract. The question likely isn’t if, but when. If the point guard continues to keep his assist totals in the double figures with a mediocre supporting cast, his value will continue to rise and the Raptors will be able to get more bang for their buck when they end up dealing him.
