    CJ disappears last night, goes 5-14 from the field... Yet MM & the banned member are silent.
    At least CJ had 4 assists, more than he's had in the last two games combined.
    He also only had 2 turnovers, way less than has 3.3 average for last month.

    Lillard & CJ deserve equal criticism for how this season has gone.

    Can a guy go to bed at a decent time?

    Watched this morning. CJ is an awful defender, as well.

    Dame standing on defense was garbage

    Neither of them are very good. Nurkic covers up some of that but I submit they will never be a contending team when the perimeter defense is so poor.

    It's 3:15 pm Pacific Time, 5:15 pm your time, and I am still waiting with bated breath. You still have time.

    Nice. Everyday may have been a slight exaggeration

    I don't mean to get personal, but I looked it up and a fish has baited breath, while a human has bated breath.

    I guess if we added Lebron. I mean Kyrie, JR Smith and KLove were well known for having piss poor perimeter D, and then just like that they are champions of the world.

    That was true at the beginning of the year but a bit before he got injured Turner was driving more aggressively and making teams pay for not covering him on the outside. Maybe that was just a phase and when he gets back he'll turn right back into the Batum without a jumper form that was so appalling early on.
