Merry Christmas, Raptors Fans
The Raptors might not be playing good basketball right now, but there are plenty of things for Toronto fans to be thankful for this holiday season.
Wizards Deal For Present And Future
The Wizards hope Mike James can give them an immediate lif, while Javaris Crittenton has a high ceiling and is showing signs of improvement.

During the 2007 baseball season, I created a little stat called Hands On Runs or HOR, which is a simple to understand statistic that is indicative of how much weight a player carries within the framework of his offense.
There are two hands involved with every run scored; one from the runner scoring and one from the batter who drives in the run.
In order to calculate the percentage of runs a player has a hand in, I add the run total with the RBI total, then divide by the amount of runs their team has scored, and finally divide by two in order to get a percentage.
I have transferred the concept of the statistic over to basketball for what is called Hands On Buckets, or HOB. With this stat, we add the field goal total of a player to his assist total and then divide by the overall number of field goals a team has made in order to get a percentage of buckets a player helped make over the course of a season.
John Stockton's 90-91 season in which he made 496 field goals and dished 1,164 assists giving him a 51.6 HOB%, is the best such season in NBA history. This is better than Michael Jordan's 88-89 when he had a 46.9 HOB%, or Oscar Robertson's 48.6 HOB%, even Wilt Chamberlain's 63-64 in which he had a 47.2 HOB%.
I'm still not losing any sleep overwwho wins the MVP, but Chris Paul's 49.2 HOB% is right behind Stockton's best total while LeBron James isn't too far behind.
Team Leaders For 2007-2008 Season
Joe Johnson, Hawks: 38.0%
Paul Pierce, Celtics: 30.3%
Raymond Felton, Bobcats: 33.2%
Kirk Hinrich, Bulls: 27.0%
LeBron James, Cavaliers: 46.0%
Dirk Nowitzki, Mavericks: 29.4%
Allen Iverson, Nuggets: 39.3%
Chauncey Billups, Pistons: 31.3%
Baron Davis, Warriors: 37.6%
Tracy McGrady, Rockets: 30.9%
Mike Dunleavy, Pacers: 26.0%
Corey Maggette, Clippers: 23.3%
Kobe Bryant, Lakers: 37.9%
Rudy Gay, Grizzlies: 25.7%
Dwyane Wade, Heat: 29.6%
Michael Redd, Bucks: 30.4%
Al Jefferson, Timberwolves: 27.5%
Vince Carter, Nets: 34.1%
Chris Paul, Hornets: 49.2%
Jamal Crawford, Knicks: 33.0%
Hedo Turkoglu, Magic: 31.4%
Andre Miller, Sixers: 37.1%
Steve Nash, Suns: 41.1%
Brandon Roy, Blazers: 33.0%
Tony Parker, Spurs: 30.6%
Earl Watson, Sonics: 27.4%
Jose Calderson, Raptors: 33.4%
Deron Williams, Jazz: 43.4%
Caron Butler, Wizards: 25.2%
LeBron's 46% is doubly extraordinary since he is not a point guard and has also missed six games. He had a 48.0 HOR% last year while playing in 79 games.
Deron's 43.4% is yet another confirmation that he is an elite point guard.
Nash is decidedly not in the MVP picture, but he is as important to their offense as ever.
Kobe had a better output in this stat during the 02-03 season when he had a 43.6 HOR%.
