To the right team it wasn't ours.

He had to go because you can't win with 2 undersized, minus defenders guards. So, it came to CJ or Dame, and as great as CJ is, you choose dame 8 times out of 7.

Let's not rewrite history here when CJ has good games..we all know he is great, but not next to Dame.

Chat, is Denver cooked?

It was time. Very good player and great human but two smaller defense limited guards just wasn't working. I'll always cheer for him.

No Gordon look very beatable. Starting to look long in the tooth. Nicole missing threes everywhere. We play him and he can’t miss anything

Denver getting smoked. What a dream us and Minnesota in the second round

 

[crandc]

Really looked like Atlanta was going to blow that game.
Minny killing Denver. How many upset series could we get?

From 2001 to this year, Dame/CJ has been the most successful duo in Portland. Not Sheed/Bonzi, not ZBo/Miles, not Roy/Aldridge, not Dame/Aldridge.

Clyde and Porter were pretty good as well in the past

Not to mention... CJ is on his 3rd team since leaving Portland.

Don't let the last 2 games overshadow his recent history

It was the meJ label that was ridiculous IMO. For whatever reason, some Blazers fans think any player who often creates for himself is selfish. But every team needs one or two.

The Dame/CJ back court never made any sense. They were so terrible defensively. Both of them were great at getting their own offense going and Dame was great at getting the rest of the team involved on that end but we just couldn't have two defensive liabilities like they were, especially together.

Love CJ, loved him when I was saying he needed to be traded. He was just a bad fit.

Playing with defense first guys like NAW and Daniels makes a lot of sense for him and I'm super happy for him.
