Hopefully they can find a good trade for CJ so CJ won't be on the team next season. If he is on the team maybe D'Antoni can convince him to be a backup to Norman Powell and be a 6th man.
I don't think CJ fits the Dantoni system personally. If you look back at Dantoni 2 - 4s throughout the years they almost always were 3 and D (or pre-3 and D guys). Powell would play the Phoenix Joe Johnson, Raja Bell, and Eric Gordon type of role. The reason Mike let Harden and Paul iso is that they are so damn efficient because in addition to their points per shot, their iso led to (i) foul shots, (ii) assists, (iii) shots at the cup. CJ is FAR worse on all three fronts. Because he can't finish at the cup he's not a real drive n kick threat. Unless he can change his game and become a finishing threat, I think we should ship his ass if D'antoni is hired.
Gas station guys today are the creepiest. I know so many women that feel uncomfortable getting gas because these dudes can't stop from hitting on them just because.
Breaking News: CJ is so excited about D’Antoni that he is at the practice facility right now and working on his one on one game.
Different era for sure.... Back in the 60's guys and gals cruised The Speck on 50th & Powell, Yaw's, Broadway and they needed gas, oil checked, air, and windshield cleaned. I worked a Toms Gulf right across from The Speck. Always had my Blue 50 Chevy deluxe park on the side. And by the way, there are some creepy women these days pumping gas but I commend them for working...
I grew up 2 blocks from the Speck and I hadn’t thought of Tom’s Gulf station in over 50 years. Thanks for making me feel even older…….
here's a test....identify all three cars passing by on the right there I think the station wagon is a rambler
Oh crap, it’s been even longer since I’ve thought about Hub Outfitters. They tore that down and built a post office. And to the left of Hub is Eddie Banz’s Texaco. And Barkers was in business forever. Great photo!!
That station wagon looks like a ‘56 Chevy, the sedan is a ‘53- ‘56(?) Ford, the grill entering the photo at the left is a ‘54(?) Chevy and the beast to the right looks like some sort of Dodge or Plymouth……..
Nope. Good Catholic boy who went to a brand spanking new LaSalle HS……..but at least half my grade school class went to Franklin.
