Goals for individuals and teams are important to set and strive for it keeps players sharp.

Number one goal is to make the playoffs, team comes first. 

But individual goals are important too.

Rudy has mentioned that one of his goals this season is to set the NBA rookie record of 3's made in a year. He has hit a 3 in every game he has played except the Boston game.  Thanks to last nights 4/8 from 3 he is on pace.

top 2 Current record holder: 

Kerry Kittles 1996-1997  -----  158

Juan Carlos Navarro  2007-2008  ---- 156

Soon to be new record holder

Rudy Fernandez                     3 pointers                       

Goal                                          159                              

*Current Pace                         162                                 

*79 thru 40 team games On Pace for 162 

Oh yeah Fernandez is shooting better percentile then either of those shooters by a significant margin as well. 

Fernandez  39.5 %  Kittles 37.7%  Navarro  36.1%

Oden mentioned that his goal for the season was to get 10 pts and 10 rebounds per game. Iif he misses the same about of games in the second half of the season as he missed in the first numbers work out. I think the rebound goal doesn't look achievable, but I would like to think Greg could turn it on and get the points goal during the second half of the year. 

Greg ODEN                 Points                       Rebounds

        Goal                          10                                10

        Current                    7.9                               6.8

        Needs                    12.1                              13.2

What are some other goals individual blazers have set and are they on pace to achieve them? I think goals help keep players motivated in a long NBA season.
