    I've said for years CJ is a natural 6 man...he's a young Jason Terry....guy who should come off the bench and score in bunches against bench 2 guards....I still think that's his calling...to be the next Jamal Crawford, Jason Terry type 6 man of the year .....he has to wear himself out guarding starting caliber 2 guards as it is...I'd love some length at the 2 guard with the starters....I'd start Pat Connaughton at the 2 with Chief at the 3 ...bring CJ, Mo, Ed, Bazz off the bench...let Dame and CJ play together coming out of half time

    Was wondering why I didn't see him. He didn't even play the first half.

    CJ is A LOT better than Jamal Crawford and Jason Terry. What our offense is missing is Crabbe. Let the haters say whatever they want, but then please explain why our offense was good last year, as well as in the few games Connaughton shot well in this year?

    Mo's a New Yorker...probably a bit high maintenance and he just got the paycheck of his lifetime....mailing it in...overfed, no longer hungry...cruisin' with cash...he got Meyers Leonard money

    This has probably been talked about from every angle but just think about what would have happened in the game if the refs didn't call that foul on Nurkic.
    Lets say he stuffs the Freak and the rebound which went to Aminu was immediately passed to Lillard who promptly drains a wide open three on the other end of the court. The lead is then 11 instead and the Rose Garden explodes.
    Sorry but IMO it was time for Stotts to get ejected on that one. He should not have allowed that to happen without a fine. Hope he speaks his mind and gets one anyway.

    That call killed some seriously determined forward motion....which was crucial to having a shot at even OT in this one....I was actually happy to see Stotts get a T when he had every reason to bitch....he doesn't do that often

    I wouldn’t even blame him honestly. We tried getting rid of/replacing him all summer. It’s easy to tell him to be professional as an outsider but if it happened to you, you’d probably be over it as well.

    It’s time for Olshey to do his job.

    Mo has also been offered up on the trade block all summer...so there's that factor...loyalty is a two way street

    You know what this loss means? We gotta burn those jinx jerseys. There's no other choice.

    Being at the game is was obvious the fix was in early on. What's that old short evil ref's name again? What a POS.

    I didn't mean "you" specifically. I was using that as a figure of speech towards those who want to trade CJ.

    A trade centered around Harkless and Mirotic makes sense for both teams. Mirotic can’t be traded until January though.

    This. Get a young priest and an old priest while your at it. Along with burning sage and holy water.

    Original Kansas City Chiefs hated their jerseys so much they all got drunk and threw them in a bonfire after a game.

    Going back through this thread, and I know THAT was a mistake, now, I see a lot of whiny bitching about the refs. So to ease your soccer mom feelings, Milwaukee was called for more fouls than us, 20 - 14. They also shot fewer FT's than we did at 15 - 17. Next excuse, please
