    Glad for CJ.....but it only reinforces the point I've been trying to make for years now. CJ can not be at his peak with Dame. They just get in each other's way a bit. Can still be good but not both at their best.

    Dedmon on defense look good 4 steals 3 blocks. He be a good backup for Nurk.

    Bravo performance by CJ. IMO, his best game ever. Nurk strong in the 2nd half. Curry becoming what we hoped for. This was a nice win against a very athletic young team. Fun 4th qtr. "rip city!"

    Imagine how well he could mentor up someone like Biggie.

    "The Other Side" will be updated soon.

    The bench kind of wilted on a night it would have been nice if someone would have stepped up. Glad they were able to pull it out. Moe and Aminu the biggest +'s tonight at +24

    Trent had 34 tonight in his game tonight and that's 3 thirty point game in a row for him.

    [Hater]Of course in Dame's absence, "MeJ" does his best Westbrook impersonation snagging a triple-double.

    Why not? CJ could play like this next to Dame if he decided to.

    CJ after getting drenched: “Real mature.”

    Yeah CJ, you’re too cool to get a soaking. :rolleyes3:

    I swear the most animated he got during that interview was when he got asked about wine.

    I don’t know what’s up with him lately. I assumed it was due to his shooting slump, and that a good performance or two would break him out of it, but maybe it’s something deeper, and he needs a longer break from basketball.

    I dunno, he just seems off; almost depressed or something.

    An interesting game indeed. You can only take so much from a win over the Hawks, but there were some positive things on display tonight.

    And since I have been critical of CJ, I will gladly acknowledge that this is one of the best rebounding and playmaking games of his career. Clearly, he can do more than just shoot when he puts his mind to it.

    And kudos to Curry as well.

    But that may be even worse. He's not deciding to until it is only his show?

    He needs to play in the east where he'll be an allstar and have his own team....we're looking at a guy who really wants a Batman role after a career as Robin

    Then Dame doesn't have the ball in his hands enough. We are best when Dame has the ball and is facilitating the offense. CJ could play more pick and roll instead of iso but he wouldn't get enough possessions to be as productive as he was tonight. This game proves that CJ is better without Dame and we know that Dame would be better without CJ especially if CJ was replaced by a spot up shooter.
