    I am afraid what will happen to ball movement once CJ is back.

    1) consistency has not been attained yet.

    2) play in would be awful. The worst case scenario.

    He usually starts off hot so let's hope so and we win so that it creates the narrative that Damian was the problem. That way we can trade CJ for more.

    So Powell and CJ are both back? Should be interesting to see how it affects Simons. Most predictable thing would be his attempts/usage being reduced while the other two jack up shots. Also the team defense getting worse.

    Hope I’m wrong.

    Probably Simons back to his old timid self coming off the bench. CJ will just take all the shots and dribble around. I am fearing a major digression in playing style with this game. You know a 10 assist night, TOTAL. Should be 5+ a quarter.

    i just want him to increase his trade value and remind people/teams that he can still be a good perimeter scorer.

    a month away from playing and you become undervalued (in media circles anyway). With about 3 weeks to go before the deadline, i need CJ to drop 25-30 a night and shoot 40+% from 3.

    wins/losses are immaterial to me at the moment. my brain is telling me we need to lose, but it's also fine with me personally if we get a few more wins than we need.

    Nice blockout, Tony. Our defense is bad tonight; luckily Orland not shooting well.

    So far the Blazers have looked better with CJ and Ant on the court together.
