    I only looked at his stats that's all. For Hezonja, he can dribble the ball full well for a big guy (by looking at some highlights) and finish strong at the hoop, though we've seen just a bit of that. Hezonja has been either a mediocre or bad shooter in his past seasons. I don't know about his passing; some people have said the stats don't point to any great passing.

    "There is no line on my paycheck for wins and losses."

    Anybody remember the originator of that quote?     Hint: he went to UCLA.

    In public. We don’t know what the response is behind closed doors.

    Hezonja looks very hesitant to me. Like sometimes he hesitates, and screws up; and other times he overcompensates, and screws up.

    He appears to waver between over, and under confidence.

    I don’t know if it’s him having a hard time settling into the team (hard to tell given the current state of play of the team) or if it’s just his thing, that he does.

    To me it seems like maybe Bazemore is a better off ball/help defender than Turner, and maybe ET is a better on ball defender?

    I’m actually kinda getting sick of hearing about this Moses guy. You understand he’s in the G-League foR a reason. He makes Skal look like god damn Tim Duncan!

    I love having the image of you on the team plane just minding your own business when one of the players taps you on the shoulder and shows you a post bashing one of them. Oh, to be a fly on the wall. Lmao.

    Dame is truly amazing, and a special talent. The loss sucks for sure, but i never take for granted how great Dame is, and he continues to add special moment after special moment even in these losses. The Blazers WILL get better. The chemistry will come along in time. And CJ WILL find his shot again. Yes i'm frustrated with another loss, but watching the Letter O is truly something to behold.

    Yet, the last few games during crunch time other teams are making anyone but Dame beat us and we play right into that. We're trying to figure out how to put his teammates in a position to best help Dame.

    It's not "just" a slump when you're a terrible teammate and have been horrendous on the defensive end.

    I don't know a single person who would enjoy playing basketball with a teammate like that.

    What has CJ done this game to warrant playing 40 minutes ?

    What has CJ done this season to warrant being top 5 in minutes played ?

    Play Nassir more. He's pure energy.

    Any updates on Hood and Skal ?
