I would want him to at least notice Dame and CJ's non-existant chemistry and cooperation to be hurting our offense. Maybe not acknowledge it to the media but at least face this issue
I disagree. It begins a narrative that many in the forum have been waiting to hear outside of these walls.
I think many within this forum have been waiting for this but not the team, staff or general public or media.
I disagree with you as well. Well, first off, Quick is the media. Secondly, if you don't think the people notice that CJ is unabashedly and unjustifiably ball dominant then I think you're mistaken. The general public, ie fans, notice and are tired of it. People I know--all of them--complain. I'm sure they are happy it's being discussed now. Go to games; CJ's yoyo control does not elicit gasps of awe, but rather, yawns and groans when he misses. And Moe has been tacitly critical of the offense in the past; same with Evan Turner (although I think he hasn't earned the right to complain). In other words, I'm sure the other players who stand around while CJ fires warning shots at the rim would love to be a bigger part of the offense... And now the cat is out of the bag. It is a good thing, I tell you. It is positive. And there will hopefully be follow up questions and continued scrutiny, because shit's got to change at some point.
I'm one of those people, but I read a lot of NBA stuff and CJ is not getting ink for anything. We get the occasional mention during a game against the Kings or something....just here or maybe Blazers edge...I've been on the "CJ is a 6 man" soapbox for years now. I have no problem with Quick's question about him nor with Stott's response to it
What did I miss? People don’t think he’s “noticed”? He has to come out and state to Jason Quick in order to notice?
I think so also. It kind of puts the coaches on notice that somebody is watching; they all seem so complacent to me sometimes.
"]this was never meant to directly compare the two at all. just to point out quick's continued stylistic fault. drama. if he had said cj's assist averages are down from a year ago and shooting worse, no problem. stating he only has 5 other games with more than, while providing no perspective i find fault. style brah. quick drama through insinuating he should have more? more than who? i added a west coast shooting guard that is similarly struggling but not changing his game to increase assist total.[/QUOTE] an earlier post by me. i am also sure that quick and cj's back and forth on twitter that cost quick his job had nothing to do with the writers format and tone either.

Stotts is protecting his players. Oh, the inhumanity of it all! CJ is struggling. I'm not surprised because his arms look a lot more muscular than in seasons past. However, I didn't think the funk would last this long.
I disagree. it just shifted the offtopic from personal to opinions of deleting threads. I get the reasoning But still cant stand the outcome. Let people own their shit. I read this thread late and the first page is hard to follow. People quoting posts i didnt read, etc. You aRe right. We are all adults. So we should be forced to wear our shit we leave lying around. We arent kids needing to be picked up after and just continue doing the same thing over and over because... itll get cleaned up. I think if someone makes an ass of themselves on here it should be left for all to see. The poster can always come to senses and edit themselves if the want to demonstrate they are adults. It also makes it easier to keep in mind who to avoid Convos with because you know who tends to take things personal. If they are deleted, its vaugue aNd i think actually causes the same crap to be repeated.
Having been in management a number of years, there is general guideline. Praise in public. Reprimand in private.
Agreed. Stotts just opened up the natural follow up by alluding to 'other things CJ was doing' and then 'not going down that road'.
You don't want a new poster to come along someday and their first thread is a bunch of us insulting each other. I agree sort of with what you're saying. I just think sometimes adults need moderating just as much as kids do. It's not really the mods fault that we don't post respectfully as adults. - I said we I'm not pointing at anyone or excluding myself.
I absolutely blame the mods when i have a temper tantrum and post like a child here. I private message them and go off o nthem for having such control of my emotions!! On the serious, as a new poster, i would find it enlightening as to know who is a fircracker Nd who isnt. Better helps the new guys know who can hold onto conversatoon topics and who cant. Thus providing knowledge of who they may want to avoid if they dont care for confrontation discussions.
