    So why are we still complaining based on last game? He didn't play a ton of ISO in the first two games, he was actually pretty solid at playing within the team construct. He has one bad game where he isolated and forced a lot of tough shots and now we're going to complain about that in games where he's not doing that?

    Doesn't make more sense. Dame is WAY better than C.J. I just don't understand complaining about a product of C.J. playing a type of style that people want him to play. And then complaining about 3 fouls? C.J. never gets into foul trouble, so who cares that he has 3 fouls? It seems like people are still frustrated with CJ's game against WAS so they're tyring to find things to complain about.

    C.J. - 10min, 9 points, 4-6 shooting... I'll take that any day.

    Let's see if Harkless can step it up now that he is starting.

    In my defense, my complaint about his 3 fouls was to criticize his "bounce back" claim. He's not bouncing back from anything thus far.

    Ultimately, you're right: he doesn't get high into foul trouble. But he's not playing like a starting SG here.

    If they keep switching Vucevic onto Dame, we need to look for that early every time.

    In terms of his shooting and the style he's playing offensively, I'd say he definitely has bounced back.

    He's on a pace of 30pts in 36min on 67% shooting. His foul trouble is literally the only issue today, yet everyone's complaining.

    He hit a '3' and was taken out the next possession. He's been Vonleh'd.
