    Whoa! Lets slow down just a bit. CJ is having a great start and I hope he keeps it up but I would virtually guarantee that Dame has a better season than CJ.

    Everyone is right about CJ he had great game and yes he having a good start. But did pound the ball to much that 3rd quarter and answer was yes.

    A win on the road is always a good thing. A good win on the road is a really good thing.

    Melo came in the game. The Blazers were up 10. He scored 6 points in 1:20. The ended that shift with 8 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds with his defender on the bench with 3 fouls. Melo left the game the Blazers were up 12.

    I have noticed this all season. Inbound plays take practice, communication and coordination. It will be a work in progress for a long time without being able to practice the way they usually do. For years we watched Nic Batum as the inbound passer. Very effective because he was capable of hitting a shot, was a great passer, had length and was smart.
    I see Roco becoming that guy and Melo when in. You can see Stotts is working on different looks as each game passes. They just are not there yet.

    So you are saying 10-20 games into the season that had a very short preseason and no practice time while playing road games? Keep crossing those fingers.

    Pretty sure dame would be fine with it as long as the team is winning. I personally would be happy for CJ.

    Dame would be happy for his bud and complimentary of his play and teamship. And anyone that disagreed with him, he'd blow you off like a feather in the wind!

    Again Quick gonna ride that horse as far as he can. Then he will try to take credit for it. Absolutely despise this guy. Next thing he will write about is Damian Lillard vs CJ and try to spin up a controversy. It's brewing and you all know it. So Glad Brooke got to Nurk first and cleared some of the air because that was coming as well.

    As predictable as the Troll he has always been. Notice Clownzano has jumped aboard the band wagon as well. Anything to get "Clicks".

    Ask anyone who has connections with this organization. Quick is an absolute cancer and needs to be kept as far away from this team as humanly possible.

    They aren't.

    Both teams play someone different on Monday.
    Difference is the Kings don't travel at all. So on Wednesday expect a better effort out of the Kings.

    One gripe I keep coming back to that will come back to bite us in the ass if we dont change it:

    Roco has to get more than 6 shots a game. Having him become a legitimate shooting threat will only open up the game for everyone else. Terry has turned him into a glorified Harkless. Even Aminu got more looks.

    what is the reasoning behind this? I mean so many say the same, there must be validation to your opinion. Maybe it goes further back and I'm ignorant to how he was prior to me paying attention?
    When i listen to him on Suke and Ropp, he seems to have decent takes most of the time.
    I thought a few years ago he also used to get tv analysis during the games once in a while?

    did they boot him from being close to the team?

    I don't get it. Fill me in. Why is he a cancer? What am i missing KJ?

    i noticed that too. I had to check the schedule because I had must set the recording up for the next game as i sat down to watch this one, and it said toronto.
    I think they dipped into the koolaid too, but not the right kind...

    I think you misunderstood what they said. The were talking about how it was a weird scheduling fluke that had Toronto in the middle of what should have been a B2B.

    yes...I've been a frequent critic of CJ when he has deserved criticism. I've also praised him for the things he does well. He's playing great right now for sure. But I think there is reason to doubt he can sustain these numbers

    but since you're making an accusation, please point out a couple of posts of mine about CJ and show how they were "hate"
