Notice The CJ injury update thread

Welcome to the forum! Don't mind the barking dogs...

 

sure....I agree he'd probably be a excellent 6th man ( just so long as he didn't go nuclear on being a ball-hog) along the lines of Lou Williams or Jamal Crawford. He's probably not a good a passer as those guys, but maybe he could be in that role. The one thing those two were much much better at was drawing fouls and getting to the FT line. So, when they were doing the volume shooting of the 6th man role they maintained good scoring efficiency. That will always by a weakness for CJ

one thing is, Williams and Crawford between them have five 6th man of the year awards....and zero all-star games. Only 5 per conference per year makes that a pretty exclusive club

 

I never compared their injuries. I said I didn't want him coming back too soon like BROY.

 

I think CJ will be back before the playoffs. It appears that he's healing up quick.

 

I think he must be getting close. He is traveling with the team to Denver.

 

Probably just for scrimaging purposes, but still a good sign.

 

Quick said yesterday on 1080 that it wouldn't surprise him if they trot out CJ for 15 mins on sunday.

Thinks if the playoffs were happening right now, he'd probably be playing, albeit not at full strength. He sounded optimistic.

 

I believe it's a second logon moniker as in one you don't need or could burn up and not really miss it. Sometimes people will join up multiple times because there's a moniker that is interesting or funny.

 

You had me until you said Quick.....

 

But Lanny has always just been Lanny. He don't hide from anybody anywhere.

 

I asked Lillard if CJ was going to play the night we killed Memphis and he said both assertively and instantly, no. I'm going to presume that means CJ is unlikely to play tonight. However, with my luck at predictions, CJ will suit up. Upshot- flip a coin.

 

I've been Lanny for close to 30 years if you count O-Live.
By the way, whatever became of towelboy? If you'll recall, he got registered at NorthWestern's law school. He was a huge Blazer fan.

 

Quick bashing is getting quite old. Time and again, he has shown to be the most insightful and best beat writer in Portland. And he's connected.

 

Nope. Not even close. Insight is something everyone has. His is usually wrong. And there is not one player or assistant on the team that trusts him at all. Don't fool yourself. There is a reason he is no longer close to the team. No it's not because he told the truth......

 

When you say that, for some odd reason, I'm reminded of Franky Four-Fingers in the movie Snatch.

 

I was about to type the EXACT same thing!

 

Where is the rolling eye emoji

 

Not if you knew him.
