    I knew somebody on here would post this. This is straight bullshit by you. Watch the sound bite that is right next to it. JB and DJJ are boys and he was totally joking. There actually are enough issues with our team that you don’t need to try and make shit up.

    He was totally kidding....but for something to be funny, which is usually what someone is trying to be when they are kidding, doesn't the saying go that there is at least a degree of truth to it? :bgrin:

    Lol I literally just saw this on instagram and shared it on a whim. This wasn't some calculated attack on someone. Simmer down a notch.

    For sure Jimmy was joking, not even a question about that.

    I m wondering though if this is intended for Stotts' comment the other day. Regarding playing DJJ less minutes and that our team with him or without is 29th in def rating

    I don't see a reason for Butler to have seen this interview, but that would be great

    This place is already unreadable enough this past 6 months, just stick to the facts. I can respect opinions based on facts. Made up bullshit has to go. Step it up a notch.

    Haha, well glad we have you here to clear all that up for us. I'll be sure my posts are pending your approval from here on out.

    On a serious note, it's highly insignificant. Could I have taken more time to analyze the post to see the true intention behind it? Sure. But it's really not a very big deal though. If this stuff has become that much of a burden to you then maybe it's time to take a break or just step outside for a deep breath.

    I don't need a deep breath. No burden whatsoever. Did you get that from my post? Like I said, I don't mind reading the 98.5% negative posts in game threads. It's people's opinions. There is so much to actually be concerned about with this team right now, I just didn't think some made up bullshit what necessary is all. No deep breathes needed.

    It boggles my mind how people seem to blame Dame and C.J. for this. The offense having no structure or movement FORCES them to do this shit. A lot of times I feel like Dame feels like "Fuck it, I can't get a good look unless I pull this from 30, and our offense is doing jack shit in the halfcourt so patience isn't gonna result in anything better, so I might as well launch" and I can't blame him for that if that's the case.

    CJ's averaging 5 assists per 36. And it's not like he's getting easy assists by passing to cutters or guys curling off screens since we don't utilize that. Instead, he's working hard to create those 5 assists a game. He seems to have taken it upon himself to be a better shot creator for others and to make the right decision on when to shoot or pass, as well as what shots to take. Sure, I get annoyed watching him dribble 1 on 1 over and over again, but I don't get mad at him because I feel like he has to do that in order for our offense (especially the bench) to get a quality look.

    I want to see what our backcourt would look like under a different coach, which is part of the reason I haven't been screaming "Trade CJ!".

    I know you won't agree, but I think C.J. is having his best season as a defender. I'd make the argument that he's been average this year. A little better at staying in front of his man but most of his improvement defensively has come off the ball. I keep looking for him to make a bunch of silly off-ball defensive mistakes as he's always done and they're just nowhere near as prevalent this year. Not to mention he's one of the best shot-blocking two-guards in the league.

    Imo, CJ plays the passing lanes as good as Dame.
    Dame is better on ball though.

    I do agree. It has been his best year. But the bar was so low, he's still not very good and get completely lost multiple times per game.

    Another non-basketball post... playing to your strengths?

    I'd be interested in hearing if you feel Nurk is one of the more consistent, mentally strong players on the roster.

    Huh? That's funny. I breakdown basketball for two hours after every game and break things down in here and on Twitter day in and day out. I get the leeway of an LOL every once in a while.

    What I seen last night when the ball move and players moving we got decent looks or we score. But I also see when the ball got back in our two guards hands that when the offense stop moving due to either iso or a just a plain shot. Yes both can create very effective at times but as a point guard your job is get the team in some kind of offense and more likely your going get it the ball back with better shot selection. To me sometimes Dame and CJ hunts for there offense and then you see know movement by others this just my opinion. It's not all bad though but get more offense going with movement both ball and players and when that's working Dame and CJ will job much easier for betty shot selection and more likely you see fewer double team on our guards especially Dame. But again it's what see and it's my opinion.
