Feel really bad for C.J. I've been critical over the years but I was really enjoying what he was doing offensively. He has shown an ability and willingness to facilitate that makes his offensive game a real joy to watch, considering his other talents on that end. Now this, in his best season. Feels bad.
They got everyone else back. We're back to being without Nurk, Collins, and now CJ. We could've soldiered on without one.
Good ol' what-aboutism, comparing apples to oranges by comparing Stotts to a championship winning coach. Some people still have no clue how to tell apart personnel issues and coaching issues.
Good the pick we gave to Houston is 1-14 protected. Yeah I know most fans don't want to face reality but next draft is loaded. No way Dame can handle this with CJ and Nurk out for a month, he will either go down himself or just become washed after a month of 40+ minutes with double teaming.
On paper this team looked very balanced coming into the season. However, this team needed a major talent upgrade instead of complementary pieces around Dame/CJ. Go big or go home. And now Dame is stuck on an island who needs to play 40min/per just to keep from getting blown out. This work load will surely shorten his prime.
Jesus christ i can't believe this bad luck. Nurk is one thing but w/o cj there is no way this team will keep its head above 500. They are so screwed. Who can get those extra 30 points a night? You play on but now dame plays 40 min a night going forward against crappy teams. Dame will have a hard time staying healthy with all the extra wear and tear. So the roster is now even smaller with a 2 legit ball handlers. Neil is a fucking dumbshit. Too arrogant to sign a backup point. Now he will bring in some Tolliver/hezonja/ type of junk and Kent and Hurd will ooh and ahh over. I repeat neil is a fucking idiot. You have to plan for injuries to some extent.
