    We've played a lot of basically EVEN quarters and then one DOMINANT quarter. Only one awful quarter and that was tonight's 4th. It's a tough league. We are fine. We have won 14 straight home openers which is an NBA record. We have a lot of home games coming up. Our team is healthy. Lots to be excited about.

    So is CJ a bust? I don't get why everyone was praising this dude, he looks terrible.

    The turnover/clear path from Batum is what lost the game.

    That alone turned into a 9-0 run.

    Very frustrating. Didn't look like they were up for either game.

    By the way, for the second straight game, Kaman, Blake, Wright, and McCollum had the best plus/minus. Which is odd cuz they hardly scored.

    I guess Will played too well in the playoffs. He would have done better to lose control of the ball almost every time he touches it like CJ apparently..lol.

    Yes he is. Time to play Crabbe. And I'm looking forward to getting Meyers out there.

    To be fair, CJ didn't turn the ball over.

    I've never seen why some fans loved Batum so much. Who wants a ball handler that commits as many stupid turnovers as Batum. He can get assists, yes, but too often he has just as many turnovers. I always cringe when I see him trying to run the offense.

    True....the one time he lost it again tonight right out of his hands a teammate happened to dig out the loose ball so there was no TO. He had 3 of the same types of plays against OKC where he just lost it right out of his hands.

    CJ is not a bust. Get outta here with that nonsense. He's clearly pressing as he knows his spot in the rotation is in no way shape or form guaranteed. He just needs to let the game come to him.

    I think Portland could use a little t-rob energy. So what if he's not a "saavy vet" the dude has balls and gets rebounds. Look at all the offensive rebounds we gave up tonight, that was huge.

    CJ doesn't look like what we drafted him for - a scorer.

    He shows flashes though. But we have to wait every 5-10 games to see signs of life from him.

    Batum was horrific! He still passes up open shots to inflate his assist numbers but when he does shoot it's not even close.

    Not a bust at all. Just curious why Will who played quite well in the playoffs is sitting while CJ has done nothing to show that type of production or performance is playing.
