Well, he is in the mix. But I left him off because I thought it'd be too controversial. Truth is that if Lillard were younger and not already...
Somebody here can easily cite a counter-example of two Lillard-types succeeding then. It's an easily disprovable point, if not true.
I'm being a little clumsy here--I'm not saying that CJ has no value to us. I'm saying he's an imperfect fit. But guys like CJ and Lillard are just a...
Name some teams with dual point guards, both starting, in the Lillard mold who have made it to conference finals.
Travis Outlaw LaMarcus Aldridge Darius Miles Bonzi Wells Zach Randolph Rasheed Wallace Greg Oden Brandon Roy What do these guys have in common? They...
I really struggle to see how Vonleh starts. He's the most painfully consistently bad starter the Blazers have run since, jeez, Telfair? Monia?He's...
Yes, Love and Thompson are good. But imagine how terrifying the Cavs would be if they had a similar level of talent at a complimentary position. If...
I love CJ's game, but I stand by my initial post. What he does is fantastic, but there are diminishing returns of having two guys so similar on the...
McCollum and Lillard are the highest scoring back court in the NBA. They consider themselves the future at the position, and the perfect match for...
We just have so much better spacing and activity with Aminu at PF. Stotts just doesn't have enough quality at SF to do what we know is right. So we...
A pox on both our power forwards. I'd like to see the lion's share of our minutes go to the small lineup of Lillard/CJ/Crabbe/Aminu/Plumlee (or...
Really? I think the reason CJ is cemented as a starter is so other teams see him as a viable starting PG. I really think we're showcasing him this...
That's a pretty interesting comparison. Thanks for posting that. Monta's team won 26 games that season. Gordon's won 33. Terry 33. We're on track...
No he can't be a starting SG on a championship team. But if we didn't have Lillard right now, CJ would be the starting point guard on our team. And...
I posted this and he goes off for 37 in his first game. LOL. His lowest scoring game this year is 15 (he's done it twice). I think the most...
I really doubt they bench CJ. I think he's being showcased right now as trade bait. You let him get as much hype as possible so he can be part of a...
While true, I think it also points to the fact that we'll always have an undersized backcourt that gets abused as long as CJ starts. Scoring,...
Not gonna lie. I'd give up CJ, Vonleh and filler for Cousins. I like CJ, but man, Cousins is the best center in the West. You put him next to...
Myself, I'm bitter as hell this year about him, and I want him to fail disastrously. He's pretty much in that same tier of Kobe/Shaq in their prime...
People booed Turkoglu for years after he snubbed Portland. That rejection pales in comparison to Aldridge's Decision. If I were Aldridge I wouldn't...
