Hyperbole Schmyperbole!

Brian Windhorst wrote this article after Sasha Pavlovic's game-clinching three pointer in Game 3 versus the Washington Wizards.

Pavlovic was perhaps the Cavaliers' most impressive player in the last quarter of the regular season, establishing himself as a starter and becoming a reliable offensive option in every game.

I like Sasha as much as anyone. His improvement this year has been great, and his presence in the starting line-up makes the Cavs much more dangerous on offense. However, let's compare Sasha to some dude named Lebron over the "last quarter of the regular season."

Sasha: 19 games/14.1/2.1/2.9/51%/77%
Lebron: 19 games/27.1/6.6/6.8/46%/75%

Has Sasha been a breath of fresh air? Yes. Has he been "perhaps the Cavaliers' most impressive player?" I think I'm going to stick with Lebron on that one.
