The NBA has seen its share of super-long-distance shots this year. But the obvious reality of half-court shots is that they are only worth attempting if the quarter is about to end or the shot clock is soon to expire.

The Cleveland Cavaliers hope to extend their season-high winning streak to nine games when they continue a seven-game homestand Tuesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies at Quicken Loans Arena.

Pau Gasol scored 10 points on 4-for-7 shooting and Andrew Bynum had five points on 1-for-3 shooting in the Lakers' 95-93 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, hardly good use of their 7-footers. Gasol is averaging 17.2 points on 53.1 percent shooting in 32 games, and Bynum is averaging 15.4 points on 56.8 percent shooting in 47 games.

It's hard to imagine that Kobe Bryant is battling a broken finger on his shooting hand with how clutch he's been over the last few games.

San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich was a major critic of the February 2008 trade that involved the Memphis Grizzlies sending Pau Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton and the rights to center Marc Gasol and first-round draft picks in 2008 and 2010.

A tough loss for the Hornets last night, and it doesn't get any easier as they roll into Memphis today to take on a Grizzlies team that has won a franchise-record 11 straight home games.

The Memphis Grizzlies have been nearly perfect over the past 2 1/2 weeks with one of their only two defeats coming at New Orleans.
