    Crabbe might just beat Barton out. He plays better D and strokes the 3 with a little more consistency.

    I disagree. I think Barton is a decent defender.

    Been on the CJ wagon since pre-draft workouts, great to see him get real playing time and produce amazing results! Blake is the facilitator off the bench, but I really think CJ can be our 6th Man in terms of scoring.

    Doubt it, Barton brings another factor to his game. Craziness, chaos and playmaking. 60% of the time, he works everytime. Crabbe is just another Francisco Garcia.

    Loved CJs game, hope this convinces coach to give him 18-20 mpg.

    Loved the win, but we won't shoot that well very often.

    I want to get more excited, but the 2 losses including a blowout are still on my mind.

    Which Francisco Garcia? The corpse we see today, or his (somewhat) productive Kings years?

    Somewhere in the middle. Same type of player though.

    Thanks for the information. Doesn't sound like you're very high on Crabbe.

    It's not that I'm not high on him, he has been what we expected, a 2nd round lanky shooter. Whether he makes it with us or not has yet to be seen.

    Allan Crabbe's best case scenario is James Jones.

    Different types of players. Dorell Wright is a James Jones. Allen Crabbe is like a shitty version of Kevin Martin.

    I like Crabbe, but his release is/has been pretty slow. If he can speed it up, he can make it. The NBA needs 3 point shooters. It's a 3-point gold rush for the next few years.

    Just finished watching the game. Obviously Wes was on fire from beyond the arc. Batum had a couple nice quick release banks off the glass I hope to see more of.

    Love watching CJ. Maybe he can be our 3rd PG after-all. But I still prefer him at SG with Blake. And I really want to see if he and Lillard can play together.

    I thought the Clipper announcers went over board in talking about how strange Kaman is, but they did acknowledge how they think he will help us. He sure is skilled around the basket. Pretty much automatic left or right handed with those little baby hooks down deep.

    And don't forget their continued huge mancrush on DeAndre Jordan.

    No shit. I liked those guys much better when the Clippers sucked. Amazing how quickly their arrogance grew. They certainly are not the worst broadcast duo around , but they have become more annoying.
