    And tbh I’m about to sound like a huge hater right now so take it how you want it but I don’t really see a point of CJ being on this team.

    He is one of the biggest liabilities on the court when he’s defending. The one thing that was suppose to make him valueable was that he’s a really good perimeter threat and he can score from the mid range with ease and sometimes he CAN do those things but he’s far from consistent enough. He turns into a ghost some nights, he dribbles too much and he has zero feel for the in-game situation. If you are 2 for 15 and the bench reserve SG has 15 pts and is hitting. KICK THE BALL OUT.

    How do you suck at the one thing people consider you to be good at? Lol.. HOW SWAY. I’m lost.

    CJ hurts this team far more than he helps it 8 times out of 10.

    True. CJ has made a variety of turnovers. But only 2 of his 6 total turnovers have been of the "bad pass" variety. (Ok, Ok, hard to make a bad pass turnover if you don't pass, haha.) Compared to 7 total assists.

    So:

    CJ = 7 assists to 2 bad pass turnovers
    Evan = 14 assists to 7 bad pass turnovers.

    Is this a thing people pay attention to?

    This is my general feeling about CJ but I’m sure it’s easily rebutted by stats or whatever so I just chalk it up to me being a hater.

    I just want him to get his shit together. His assists have gone down every year. Someone slap him. Check his ego. Please. For the love of god.

    Did you really just say Stauskas can get to the hoop as well as Dame....?

    Dude hits a bunch of 3s and people get carried away. Lol.

    The problem with C.J. Is he doesn't recognize the right pass until he's too deep to make said pass. When you're at the elbow area on your drive, you should be ready to kick the ball put. Even if he gets too deep, he could still stop and pass ther ball back to the top of the arc.

    He was still an average (at best) role player in Boston. Still not efficient, and he could defend and make basic passes but racked up assists because the ball was in his hands. He's still not worth $18M, and if we could shed the final year of his contract, we'd probably have our full MLE next year or could do sign and trades to get someone better, who wouldn't have to be used without Dame and CJ on the floor, and wouldn't need such specific personnel around him.

    Watch him off the dribble he is very quick in getting to the hoop.
    Hey, the guy is an NBA pro that has a pretty decent all around game.

    He's no where near as good as Dame at attacking the rim...

    Need to get this trip off to a good start. Now that we'll miss Harden in Houston - we could really find some success out on the road.

    HUH?

    In the pregame show (I don't know why I have it on) Michael Holton just said that the Magic didn't go for many offensive rebounds and got back on defense and that is a problem for the Blazers since they like to push it up the court and get offense before the defense is set! What the fuck? Has he actually watched a game in the Stotts' era?

    "We'll see what style wins out" he says. What am I missing here?
