    I don't think he is known for being all that fast to begin with is he? But yes he seems to be pacing himself.

    That guy couldn't hit a layup to save his life.

    I wonder what the locker room atmosphere is like for a game like this, when you got a group of guys playing ok so far, busting for a job, then someone like CJ comes down making couple million dollars and gets inserted in immediately. I know that they know the deal and all, but wonder if there'd be animosity on a roster with that.

    Could see him slowly run out of gas. The guy hasn't played in months so it's not surprising that he's not in game shape.

    I think he has a nice NBA body.

    He got more run than I expected. Wonder how much he'll get in the second half. He has a game tomorrow too, right?

    I don't know about his speed. I'm talking more that he's just kind of phoning it in. Not a bad thing, no need to go nuts.

    Yeah. And this is no where near NBA intensity.

    Baby steps.

    I would be thrilled because it's more likely that someone is going to watch the game.

    Those little girls dancing with the Idaho stampede dancers are like a metephore for the difference between the NBA and D-League.

    Had thought of that earlier, with Jackson shooting a bunch. He was getting talked about a lot, was wondering if he was putting in extra effort knowing more people might be watching a bit. Good point.

    I kinda doubt it, for the most part. They know he's gone in two days. They are probably picking his brain, maybe feeling a little closer to the big time. :dunno:

    WTF? Are they interviewing a player at half time, or is that taped?

    NM: Has to be taped. LOL

    Very nice first half for the limited minutes CJ played:
    11 points, 4 assists, 4 boards, 2 steals and 2 turnovers for CJ. 5-10 FG, 0-3 3P, 1-1 FT

    CJ has and inch on Dame on standing reach, Dame has an inch for max vert . . . Essentially, they are the same size and have similar athletic abilities . . .

    He should take them out to dinner. They are probably tired of McDonald's.
