    Yea, but I've been a fanatical fan through these rollercoasters and can't handle another great Blazer career ended far to early by injury.

    If CJ isnt scoring he is a black hole I don't want him making that decision, because he will try regardless.

    Yeah I think the decision making process has to be first the medical staff, second Stotts (this is where a good coach would hold CJ out because he has been hurting the team) and after that it will be left up to CJ and I am with you he will choose to play, start and play 40 minutes even if he can't throw a beach ball in an ocean.

    Ok, you certainly have your opinion, but i will politely disagree and say the sample size to come to that conclusion is way to small and we haven't heard anything from the team or McCollum regarding this. I'm the kind of person who likes to gather as much evidence that i can to make a conclusion.

    Yeah, I was looking at all 5 games and the stats were massively thrown off by that one phenomenal game. Based on your points, I agree he should come off the bench. Frankly, I think Hezonja has played better than him lately and should sop up more of the bench minutes.

    yeah, I dont care how one feels about CJ if he's eventually out from injury that hurts as he has proven he can win big games for us. Wouldn't have advanced w/o him last year against Denver.

    He had a huge game in the first game against Memphis in the bubble. Losing that game would have us looking on the outside right now and not in control of our destination.
