    Happy to see Simons hit his first 3-point attempt

    I think Whitesides body language looks like he pouts a lot.

    Whiteside has Vince Carter in the post and CJ shoots a step back contested 3.

    We play so dumb.

    Then the next play CJ launches it way over his head.

    That Whiteside, what a bum. Only 8 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks in the 1st quarter.

    CJ sees the double team coming, dribbles right into it, takes a bad shot with plenty of time left on the shot clock when two guys were wide open and it leads to Atlanta having plenty of time to hit a 3 when they should have had little to no time.

    Details like this pile up throughout each game.

    CJ & Melo have combined for 8 points on 11 shots; and 2 assists with 3 turnovers

    Portland has 3 assists on 12 backets.

    none of that is good

    I thought CJ would bring the ball back out and use the remainder of the clock for the last possession. But instead he goes back up in traffic against 2 bigger defenders. :sigh:

    They should've been going to him the whole quarter but we don't have many ways to exploit his size advantage.

    CJ's almost abject refusal to pass the ball to WIDE OPEN teammates when he draws multiple defenders is disutrbing.

    Gary's turnaround jump shot is effortless
