    Most shocking part of the gang was Calabro letting us all know the @THE HCP Is 75! Really impressive he can use the internet at that age.

    We really wasted two years of development on Kent Bazemore, Anthony Tolliver, Mario Hezonja, and a goodbye tour that wasn’t even a goodbye tour! FUCK!

    CJ is now averaging 20.7 PPG on 19 FGA with a 42.1 FG%. He’s shooting 37.6% from 3 and 74.1% from the free throw line.

    Just ugly.

    Is this supposed to be impressive for a near max player that doesn’t defend?

    I have more faith in Dame regressing to his mean than CJ.

    he's 5th in the NBA in assists with a 3.3 assist/turnover ratio. He IS getting others involved

    in the last 4 games, CJ has 55 points on 67 shots. He had a decent shooting night 5 games ago, but before that, in another 4 game stretch, he had 80 points on 81 shots

    so, in 8 of the last 9 games, that's 135 points on 148 shots

    I saw whirling dervishes perform at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco twice...that Sufi music is amazing and watching them whirl without colliding is pretty cool.

    Its beyond obvious that CJ needs to be traded. I honestly don't care who for.

    Ideally a starter quality 3 or 4

    CJ actually isn't that far from his mean right now. He's got a PER of 17.2 when his career mark is 17.5. He has a TS% of .532 when his career mark is .553. His assist rate is a little better than his norm but his turnover rate is a little worse
