CJ guarded him when we had Blake, Lillard and CJ on the court together. That didn't work out very well. Nic didn't stop him and Nic guarded him most of the night.
Gay is was too much for CJ to handle and he is a bit too physical for Batum, surprised we did not see more Matthews on him after I saw he has such a big first quarter. Oh well its early though so its not a big deal but that was a pretty bad loss even if it was on the road. Need to get these kind of games.
SAC's an interesting team. They'll melt down, but if somehow they can keep the chuckleheadedness in order (and do something like trade McLemore or Stauskas, Derrick Williams' salary and a first for Rondo) and you could have the makings of a last-year's Phoenix...maybe not quite playoff-caliber, but really decent. I mean, they have two Olympic-level players (3 if Rondo), decent role-player talent....Mike Malone's not an idiot. Ranadive wants to make a splash.
