    None of us do. We only marvel from below as the majority of what you post sails over our heads.

    I split my posts half and half between post-transcendental brilliance and non-planar stupidity. It's just who I am and I will never apologize for that.

    I like the visual of Kool-Aid Man wracking his brains. This is only heightened by the fact that your arrow points straight at your avatar.

    It can't all be about smashing through walls--Kool-Aid Man has levels he doesn't always show or express.

    The "Oh Yeah!" catchphrase is applicable to varied and wide-ranging scenarios, depending on the volume and inflection.
    • Watching CJ hit two game-tying 3's: "OH YEAAAH!!!"
    • Watching the Blazers' defense allow a game-winning 3: "Oh. Yeah..."
    • Visiting Mrs. HCP for post-game consolation: "Oooohhh...yeaahhh..."
    • Reading a @BonesJones trade proposal: "Oh. Yeah...??"
    It's the post-modern "Dude". Oh yeah.

    Yeah CJ thanks for continuing to dribble too far into the double team, and wait too long. Leading to a turnover 90% of the time when you try to hit Plumlee in the pick and roll.
    Just like what gave Detriot the ball after you won the jump ball in second OT. After Plumlee had to take a half court shot.
    Thanks for keeping Portland in the game. But again when it comes time to win a game you show you've yet to improve.

    Portland's defense is awful. 4th graders play better pick and roll defense.

    Wasn't that Plumlee half court shot because we had 2.4 seconds left on the shot clock?

    Blazer fan logic. Make CJ appreciation thread, throw in there personal opinion about dame versus cj. Why the fuck can you not mention one without throwing your stupid opinion in about the other? can you not appreciate both? some "Fans" on here are crazy.

    Dame and CJ are way better than Ellis was and maybe both better than Curry too.

    Arguably both better than Michael Jordan, too. We just need to find their Bill Cartwright to protect the paint, like Jordan had. Until then, it's not a fair comparison.

    Yes, it was all one play.

    CJ got trapped on a pick and roll late in the clock.
    He kept dribbling instead of pass out of it right away.
    By the time he passed out of it he was trapped and his pass became a loose ball.
    Which led to a jump ball, that CJ won. But Plumlee had to heave it from half court because of minimal time left on the clock.

    TLDR CJ dribbled too much, like normal.

    This.
    Anytime CJ is initiating offense late in games theres like a 50/50 chance it'll be a turnover.
    At least Lillard will get himself or his teammates a shot.
    Oh I guess CJ got Plumlee a shot from half court. So that's good. right.

    CJ McCollum is the first Trail Blazer with 7 straight games of 25+ points in a single season since Clyde Drexler (9, Nov. 20-Dec. 6, 1987).

    CJ McCollum joins Anthony Davis, James Harden and Russell Westbrook as only players with at least 7 straight games of 25+ points this year.
