[HailBlazers]

Has anyone offered up an answer to the riddle yet?

He got Dame the franchise record in points.

Has anyone offered up an answer to the riddle yet?

The answers pretty obvious... He got labeled that because he worked a system around Dirk that got a ring. Not sure he deserves it, but thats where it came from.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

somehow CJ’s playoff success doesn’t count because the blazers didn’t beat the 3 time champ warriors 3 times...

where did CJ touch you?

Everywhere. It wasnt that good.

The point is he and Dame havent really had much playoff success, success isnt “Scored some points on bad effeciency”, success is winning. Last year was great, and CJ had some good games and Dame has had some good games and some crazy shots, but theyve still got stuff to prove.

Reffing tonight:

Ed Malloy, Matt Boland, and Scott..............................Wall

I could watch Ant shoot all night. He has such a smooth shot.

His shot is smooth but it looks weird to me. I think it's the way his off arm elbow sticks out and how he jumps forward so much on his shot, with his right foot going farther than his left.

You realize that’s not the popular opinion in the forum, right? Everyone here thinks Dame is a God and CJ is trash, even when their playoff numbers are not that different. If you wanna criticize them both for not winning in the playoffs, fine. If you want to single out CJ then you’re just ignoring the data.

The Data says Dame has had some bad series’, that Dame has way better moments than CJ does in the playoffs, I flat out think Dame is the better player, but I think they have things to prove still.

Jabari Parker might not be a bad trade target at some point.

 

[BonesJones]

3rd chance points already... come on...

Off the top my head Im blanking, whats his contract like?

 

[BonesJones]

CJ shouldve lobbed that.

So bashing Dame to prove something about CJ is the way you're taking this?

Not a good look.

 

[BonesJones]

Two year, $6M a year with a player option.

 

[HailBlazers]

Hassan's shot blocking has been disappointing

 

[Labinot41]

Good morning fams

dame IS the better player. That doesn’t mean this forum doesn’t treat CJ like a scrub

 

[HailBlazers]

CJ reads this forum!! DIME to Dame

 

[BonesJones]

Good vision and pass CJ!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Good pass out by CJ there.

 

[BonesJones]

They only treat him like a scrub when he plays like a scrub.

 

[BonesJones]

Hassan's shot blocking has been disappointing

Foot, ankle, and knee injuries make that more difficult.

 

[Blazers1977]

i didn’t bash dame. This is like the third time you’ve tried to put words in my mouth.

 

[BonesJones]

Mario has a habit of driving straight into two defenders then acting shocked that theyre there.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Game's just started and already Len is stealing my sunshine

 

[Blazers1977]

They only treat him like a scrub when he plays like a scrub.

If you asked Dame or Stotts they would tell you CJ has never played like a scrub a game in his life, that he’s playing within the system and just sometimes doesn’t knock down shots even though he works as hard as anyone.

 

[JDC]

Too much standing around from Mario.

Has to be a factor on the defensive glass if he's at the 4.

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah, CJ has never had a bad game. You're right.
