    In no way shape or form was I putting down CJ. I said:

    CJ & Dame have to take a lot of shots because those are our only two creators. But when Aminu does get a shot, people also should be happy, because when he does he is significantly more efficient than CJ.

    That was in response to various opposing posts that said something like:
    (1) CJ was inefficient and taking too many shots
    (2) Better CJ shoot than Aminu shoot

    Both of those are wrong. CJ (and Dame) have to shoot a lot because players like Aminu cannot create shots for themselves BUT when Aminu does get a shot, no one should cringe because a typical Aminu shot is more efficient shot than a typical CJ shot. I was defending Aminu, not putting down CJ. Aminu can't get a shot without Dame or CJ.

    You get no argument from me regarding the contributions of Wes Mathews, Brian Grant, Joel P. etc. Incidentally Wes Mathews had an adjusted +/- of +3.65 4th best SG in the NBA before he got injured.

    Yeah, well, they also let him clothesline Dame. So I guess they are being somewhat consistent? lol

    So you remember he airballed one free throw, but you forgot he shot 87% from the FT line and is generally clutch with his free throws.

    I'm sure you'd make Shaqtin' a fool top ten all time if anyone would let you play.

    I noticed the same thing. Dame and cj seem to respond to tough defense by going 1 on 1

    Rod was an out of control alcoholic for most of his NBA career...the guy coached in Russia and got a DUI in Russia...you know how drunk you have to be to get a DUI in Russia? He's admitted all that since and been sober awhile now. That being said, he played while drunk but as to his game...it was beautiful to watch...his two man game with Sabo was amazing. Maybe one of the most gifted small pt guards to play the game...his addiction held him back ...shame really

    I think it's true! She LOVES the Blazers. When I saw she was on I was welcoming of her positivity. I'm so used to Kevin McHale and his 0.9 grudge. It was a breath of fresh air to have Doris.

    I was with my then partner when Suns and Bulls played triple OT in Finals. We figured as soon as game was over. That was start of fourth. By the time 3 OTs over we nearly ran each other over on the way to bedroom.
