    This game was a good example of why I wouldn't be opposed to trading CJ. Put Dame in tonight instead of CJ and then have a 'Big' asset that would come over for CJ and this team could be so much better on the defensive end. By not having 2 small guards out there all of the time, they had a better lineup and everyone was more involved because it wasn't just 2 guys taking most of the shots.

    This game made me even more in the camp of trading CJ BECAUSE they played better with just one ball dominant small guard.

    CJ is a sixth Man. Always has been always will be IMO. He would be great to have off the bench.

    I think he is a starter...just not on the same team as Dame because they are too similar. He needs his own team to be the starting, ball dominant PG.

    Would love to have CJ a Blazer as long as Ginobili. He's still killing it.

    Interesting that turnovers didn't really hurt us:

    Turnovers
    Us - 18
    Them - 12

    Points Off Turnovers
    Us - 16
    Them - 15

    And we won both:

    Fast Break Points
    Us - 15
    Them - 7

    and

    Points in the Paint
    Us - 38
    Them - 26

    At halftime we had an equal number of defensive rebounds, but we had more offensive rebounds. By the end of the game:

    OReb
    Us - 11
    Them - 14

    DReb
    Us - 43
    Them - 38

    Although we shot a better FG%, they had more shots:

    FGM/A (%)
    Us - 35/83 (42.2%)
    Them - 32/95 (33.7%)

    Almost all of them 3 point shots:

    3PM/A (%)
    Us - 8/23 (34.8%)
    Them - 12/34 (35.3%)

    Importantly they got to the line more, and converted better:

    FTM/A (%)
    Us - 13/18 (72.2%)
    Them - 19/24 (79.2%)

    Personal Fouls
    Us - 22
    Them - 12

    But now that you've ripped on people who showed up to a forum get together you have to come to the next one. It will be great to finally meet you.
