    If contracts and seniority weren’t a thing CJ would be Lou Williams.

    If we can sweep these next 4 games, we will finally be .500 and probably 8th seed going into the break.

    We're in the middle of a 5 in seven, and 4 in six situation, with two sets of back to back games, and 3 of four on the road.

    If we actually win all four, that would be the best stretch of the season. I think splitting it is an achievement in itself.

    It would be great if CJ could get hot and help Dame in even half of these games.

    To put a player on the bench (where they need scoring) who isolates out the rest of his team except sometimes passing back to Dame, who is #9 in eFG% just ahead of Anthony Tolliver for the season, seems not that unreasonable.

    CJ is just Mo Williams during his prime

    Literally the only way that happens is if Dame goes En Fuego again.

    Otherwise, 2-2 would be our "sweep in 4"

    I would be so stoked if that happened!
    Just think about the ramifications?

    Then I am glad you aren't GM and we likely would have been ousted out of the playoffs much earlier. Even trading McCollum last year wouldn't have given us any more money to re-sign Curry as we had no bird rights and no money to offer compared to what he got.

    Tonight’s game night a huge... with Memphis having a tough game in Philly, we can get to within 1.5 games of 8 seed tonight. Jazz have been slumping so it’s a good time to have to play them in Utah.

    Is that supposed to be an insult? Mo was the second best player on two 60 win teams in Cleveland. He was deservedly an All Star. That said, CJ can break down a defense in a way that Mo couldn’t.

    Just saw Hassan is questionable. This is an instant loss without him.

    If Hassan is not playing then why are we playing Dame? It’s automatic lost without Hassan, might as well rest Dame.
