What a surprising and positive performance. The kid is active, that's for sure. He really helped save our bacon tonight. I was loving it.
Yep. He energized a Blazer team that looked resigned to letting Dallas answer every one of it's charges. A couple of those blocks were fucking incredible.
Dirk, just now in his post game interview , went out of his way to give CJ props for his impact in the fourth.
Giving him some run against their actual bench would be nice, imho. He still needs to know where to go on offense, and he was a little too eager to block shots which left Dallas available to rebound offensively a couple of times... but he more than made up for it out there with those two blocks and rebounds.
Yeah, buddy, CJ looked great. Just the shot in the arm we needed. I had flash backs of Bonzi off the bench in the playoffs as an unknown rook... You know they dident game plan for CJ, hahaha PLAY CJ!
I was thinking the same thing. I'd like to see him get a few minutes in the first half, just to disrupt the Dallas offensive flow. Maybe give Camby a few extra minutes to rest and stay out of foul trouble. The Blazers have lacked shot-blocking since Camby got hurt (Marcus still looks hurt but is gutting it out), and the impact of Johnson was immediate.
