    It’s so painfully obvious that CJ should be the odd man out.

    My dream this off-season was to go into the first game with Norm as the starting two guard. Didn’t happen.

    Norm knows how to play NBA basketball. CJ knows how to play streetball.

    Dame 1-6 from three. Brutal. Can’t wait until he rediscovers his shot.

    Nurkic playing pretty good defense in 2nd. So many guys he needs to watch for.

    He will, he’s playing harder in the defensive end and it might affects his shot.

    Well Dame and CJ has threw up 23 shots so far and there 3-11 from the 3 and I see Nurk only 3 attempts so he not involved in the offense so he probably not involved in the game. Covington only 1 shot and Powell is the only one shooting anything worth while. The defense has totally stunk up that 2nd quarter.

    even if they win games in regular season playing like this, they will get smoked in the playoffs

    this just isnt winning formula, were playing 3 on 5 on offense, nurk & roco are not involved at all

    too bad Billups can't design any offense that gets Dame the ball cutting to the basket. That was the point of all the off-season talk about Dame 'off-the-ball'. But that's probably a fantasy when a team doesn't have any consistent passers other than Dame. In any event, if he was catching the ball while cutting to the hoop he probably wouldn't be jacking up so may three's

    *************************

    in the last 4.5 games, CJ has 93 points on 94 shots

    Dame/CJ have 163 points on 162 shots

    If someone could tell Nurk to play like he cares that would be vagtastic.

    The bad thing about these East Coast road trips is that I have no excuse not to watch the second half
