    Sorry I guess I got it backwards. My bad. Regardless, we aren't getting him.

    I think the real point here is "good luck finding defensive point guards who can pass and shoot the three, because there aren't that many."

    This is what you get when you up the DRtg to 106 (around league average), and drop the assists per 24 minutes to 3 (not great).

    Pargo would be a great pickup, though.

    Huh? He's a downgrade in most areas.

    Sorry. Someone else must have also said it. In any case I disagree. Take last night for instance, when CJ came in the game in the 1st qtr, LMA was still in the game, so I think it made sense that Mo went to LMA over CJ.

    At the beginning of the 2nd qtr they had Wes in. Mo may have favored Wes, but I don't think he was deliberately freezing out CJ. I just think it was the game plan. The 2nd unit has struggled on occasion so why not have the starters involved more in the offense when they play with them? They all got plenty of shots regardless, so I think it went pretty well.

    I think they have worked CJ slowly into the offense very effectively. In a way that has built his confidence. Gradually he will shoot more. He does seem to be able to get his shot off just fine against better players.
