Game three CJ put up 41 points and the Blazers win it in triple OT on CJ McCollum's offense in the final OT. He also was the leading scorer in the game two win on their court in addition to being the leading scorer in game 7. Without CJ McCollum the Blazers don't get out of the second round.
Murray Averaged, 23.6ppg and 6 assists per game and pretty much did what he wanted in that series, Wes would've done a much better job of slowing him up.
Mo and Aminu were taking turns getting blasted by Milsap, and once in a while on Murray, but they played so bad in that series...
I thought the adjustment was to put Turner and Hood on Milsap? Cannot remember Aminu or Harkless being able to stand on him for more than a minute or two and they had to pull them off?
They tried like half the roster, Hood, Turner, Zach, Moe, Aminu. I dont want to sound like Im hatin on CJ, I just like Wes better overall. Of course offensively he’s not the scorer CJ is.
Id take CJ's 26.4 /6rebs/3 ast over Wes. This game is about scoring. CJ played a stellar series. You drop Murry to 20 pts a game maybe 18 but you lose 15 playing Wes.
I think it's hard to tell since the Dame / CJ pairing, the offense basically consists of getting them the ball and watch them work. Guys like Wes you can't do that with, you'd have to run an actual offense, maybe you get more guys scoring, Wes was a good shooter, the problem offensively is CJ does give you the 2nd go to scorer that Wes really isn't, but still if I was building a roster for a season, I'm taking Wes before his injury over CJ today.
