He may/may not be the main reason, but to compare what he did to RHJ (10-day contract guy converted to the end fo the season) and Ant (back up rookie deal guy) is a bit apples to oranges. CJ only being -7 is because he was on the court for so much of the time that Dame was literally carrying him up and down the court.

And also on the court while the bench guys were dragging him down.

CJ was -7 in FIFTY ONE MINUTES. He shot badly, but not as badly as Dame last game.
Meanwhile RHJ was MINUS TWENTY-ONE in just 9 minutes and Anfernee was -15 in 15. CJ just made an obvious fuckup (to go along with his poor shooting) but he's not the main reason we lost.

Nurk and CJ have the basketball IQ of a potato and it was on full display on more than one occasion - outside of the “obvious” fuck up. horrible shot selection. Dribbling like his hair is on fire, looking down, while surrounded by people. (Predictable turnover that led to a bucket.)

And how the fuck does Melo get called for a travel in that situation. Complete mental meltdown. Dude has been using the same move for years and completely blows it.

oof. I cannot even rehash this game but our 3/5 of our most seasoned, tested players played like absolute rookies.

I hate CJ so much that i want him traded. He is the reason that we suck so bad. Iso brick CJ. Worst on defense. Terrible playmaker always turnovers. Bastard

Cant put two free throws together either!
 
Fact is we lost because Denver beat us....if anything stopped us in this game it was Nurk fouling out...so the refs beat us as well. CJ didn't have a great game but neither did other players...should take nothing away from Dame's epic attempt to take this game on his own....he came close. We were down 22 pts early....by the 2nd OT of course our guys were gassed trying to come back and make it a game....they did that but couldn't get over the hump.....I call that game a respectful loss.

Melo didn’t travel! The refs made several bad calls!

Gonna be pretty funny when he drops 40 and pretty much decides game six.
Believe me when i say CJ will play a better game Thursday.

it will be hard for him not to play better since he was dogshit last night

he'll also be getting almost no defensive attention because it's just about certain Denver will twist their defense toward Dame after game 5. When an opposing defense creates enough space that CJ can draft off of Dame's wake, he usually plays better. That's been the case for 6 seasons

but don't fool yourself, CJ is quite capable of two shitty games in a row
 
I think CJ is going to bounce back as well. As will Nurk. Just not sure we'll have anything left for game 7

Can't have respectful losses in the postseason.

Overall Powell has been fine this series at 0.607 TS% and about 17 points per 36.

Yea his stats are fine sure but tell me a time this dude hit a big timely shot for us since he been a blazer. He could have a fantastic game then literally during crunch time does nothing

Have to admit that game last night was entertainment. A game i will not soon forget if ever. Even Jokic said it was a sight to behold.
 
We waited too long on CJ and now his value couldn't be lower.

As a Blazer in close games with under 3 minutes on the clock he is 7 for 14 shooting. Not terrible.
14 shots = You're doing the small sample size thing again.
Remember when you said he couldn't shoot free throws? He's 88% as a Blazer.
 
I won’t get mad if Dame ask for a trade after the season. How about you?

I disagree that his value has tanked. Of course we should have traded CJ a long time ago, some of us have been talking about it since the first season we saw these two undersized, ball dominant guards start together. That being said, CJ had a career year both before and after the injury and I think there are teams out there that would give up good value for him. I don't think there are a lot of those teams but there are enough out there that we should be able to get better by trading CJ this off season.

We'll never know if we could have gotten even better in seasons past by trading him but it does stand to reason that would have been the case.

Dame would be ruining his brand. Dame's best move and I don't think he'll make it, would be to go to ownership and demand a new GM that puts a roster that's a better fit around him. Dame will instead continue to be loyal. It's Olshey's or hopefully a different GM's job to not worry about it, make the moves necessary to put a contender around Dame and expect the same thing every other move has ever gotten out of Dame. "It sucks to see guys I care about leave but this is a business."

If Dame does ask for a trade or is holding this roster hostage by being a tyrant, then I'd have no problem trading him as long as it helps the team. I just don't have any reason to believe those things will be or are the case.
 
Main problem with CJ is coaching. And be more specific, lack of accountability.
He wants to be hero.
 
I will take this season off. Olshey and MeJ killed my excitement for my team, and that pisses me of. Until change happens i wont watch a game anymore
