    Yes but what the stat irrefutably means in this very clear example is DSJ didn't screw up while he was out there. He didn't cost us a lead. He also made some big defensive plays the minute he entered the game. He fought.

    See, that's all reasonable no matter if I agree or not. Its not hard to criticize him within the realm of reasonability.

    As far as Powell goes, he can't create his shot as easily as CJ can. It's not as simple as designating a certain amount of shots for individual players.

    I'm not the one saying CJ McCollum doesn't know basketball so cut the bullshit.

    I also didn't tell Dame anything. Didn't tweet at him or tag him. I suggested something he could try differently with his jumpshot because he was missing short. But yes, me pointing out a common knowledge jumpshot adjustment as something Dame might try is the same as you telling C.J. he doesn't know basketball.

    Fucking ridiculous.

    Read above. Didn't direct my tweet at Dame at all. If someone is missing jumpshots with their elbow jutting out, is saying "A possible adjustment might be to get his elbow in more" the same as saying CJ doesn't know basketball? No, it's not. It was moreso me predicting something Dame might try, and I wasnt even saying it should even be something he tries because there's negatives to it.

    Wording is important. Don't just run with the narrative of a section of the fanbase that roots against me because they didn't like that I criticized their precious (former) coach. That's for people like OneSport to do when they get called out on saying things like "CJ doesn't know basketball" since they need to try to flip that back on someone else with a false equivolancy to justify it.

    So you agree that it's silly to equivilate or even compare CJ to Melo? Awesome.

    Did you miss the point again?
    Total zeros from Roco and less than what they get from rotational players all around might have also had an effect (Yes that is the proper use of that word) on the outcome.

    Yeah. I started the post talking about CJ. He had a very bad game.

    It's generally unrealistic to blame a loss on one player. That doesn't change the arguments in favor of trading CJ.

    Unrealistic? In a fan forum? Surely you jest.
