    Just watching him take it to Kyrie last night, just blew me away. I don't think I've been giving him his deserved props. Was blown away at his numbers compered to the All-Star/Olympian Irving.... I know CJ is officially a SG, but he has the ball in his hands as much as any PG in the game. Very impressed is The HCP!

    CJ comes across as so nice in the media and in person, but he has some dog in him when it comes to on the court action. I love that.

    Oh, he's got the calmness. But behind the scenes you can kind of see him jaw and toy with opposing players. It is needed.

    I believe I said that in the fall before CJ had ever started a game. How stupid of me to not see McCollum was going to put up Kyrie numbers, how foolish am I? Come on ClownTown, your'e fishing now....how's that 64 win prediction treatin ya?

    I think he leads the team in flagrant fouls.

    Nope, since C.J. started 4 games his second season, including the 1st playoff game against MEM, the fall before he ever started a game would have been the fall of 2014. At that time we had FIVE quality starters (Lillard, Aldridge, Wes, Batum and RoLo).

    Nope you said it four times in the fall of 2015, including twice on October 29 2015, the day after he scored 37 in the season opener against NOP:

    Since he had also scored 33 in Game 5 of the MEM series, you were saying C.J. was not a quality starter after he'd averaged 35 points in his two most recent games.

    Glad to see you've come around.

    Imagine CJ doing this on the east coast. He'd be a lock for all star in the east on a big market team.

    I ate my CJ crow early in the season...he's playing great and seems to be making an effort to defend...impressive 4 blocks last game.

    And I'm sure Dame would have won or been a runner up to MVP by now.

    No thanks, don't even want to think about it. I prefer to imagine him as a Blazer for life, even if he never makes an all star team.

    You didn't think his performance in the Memphis series would carry over? One of the best defenses in the league, featuring two of the best perimeter defenders, it's only hope for slowing him down was eventual fatigue.
