    Leonard with 13 points (3-7 3 pointers), and CJ with 17 points tonight.

    CJ will be fine. He has a nice all around game. Much better defender than I thought he would be.

    He's feisty and gets steals you don't expect... but then again, he gets LOW on defense, and swipes at the right time.

    I wouldn't be eager to trade CJ I can tell you that. Everyone has a price of course though...

    I completely disagree. Rondo is a horrible shooter. That is all. Everything else he does on offense (one of the best passers in the NBA) is amazing and awesome. Being a bad shooter does not make you a bad offensive player.

    The score is more of a reflection of Aldridge's absence and Batum's struggles

    I still don't see it with CJ. Even last night, I thought he had a horrible 1st half - then did nothing in the second until garbage time. For someone with the "ability to get his own shot", he sure takes a lot of long contested jumpers. Very rarely does he ever drive to the basket.

    I think Houston got a steal in the Brewer trade. I would love to have Brewer coming off the bench instead of CJ.

    Meyers and CJ got 30 pts in a loss. To really improve they have to play a lot and we're not going to play them a lot because we want to win now. Crabbe played great and had a big dropoff against the Rockets. Meyers can score in bunches, CJ is still adjusting offensively to the speed of the game and seems to wear himself out working on defense but credit the fact that he's trying to defend well. Meyers is not ever going to bang in the post. He passes well, better than CJ. CJ probably rebounds better than Meyers. Still a year away from being serious rotation guys

    LOL. I almost included the caveat of 'for bench players'. ;) Obviously they didn't look like NBA starters.

    This is the thing that gets me the most - the difference in the myths between Rondo (myth = horrible shooter) and LMA (myth = terrific shooter). Last year Rondo shot 48.9% from the 15-19' range, while LMA shot 43.4%. :confused:
