If nance had made that bunny and Covington a fairly open 3 we would be right there.
Frustrating.

He was making everything the other night. Just one team needs to think they can get him to maximize his potential. And yeah that's hard for me to say with a straight face but I still believe it.

This team is a lot more fun to watch without CJ. They clearly need Dame, but if they can turn CJ into a wing or someone with size and length I think they’ll be a much better team. I don’t think it’s a coincidence our two best defensive efforts have come without him.

For the last number of years. It's not that CJ isn't a good player. It's just the fit. I think he will be even better on his own team away from Dame.

Bingo! You can see the potential of Billups’ defensive scheme if he had better, more switchable players to work with. One of Dame or CJ have to go and obviously CJ is the odd man out. Simmons would instantly make this a top 10 defense IMO.
 
Fuck ya another loss… this is all going to plan… I been all optimism since this losing streak!

I think everyone knows that except Olshey. Shit he probably knew it too, just too stubborn to ever admit it.
 
It's hard for me to complain about Nance. Nearly every game he does everything great except shoot. Some guys can't shoot.
In the right lineup he could take maybe 5 shots/game, anything he makes is gravy.
 
At time our defense looks decent but we watched the ball to much at that end. Offensely we just not enough scorers out there with the injuries. Plus we don't have a lot of ball handlers out neither. But they gave effort I guess that's all you can ask for.
 
10 point loss isn't too bad, considering they were without about 55 points (normally).

Just wish Nassir didn't keep getting hurt. Also, I think it showed that having 3 guards in the lineup is a moronic starting 5.

either norm or CJ need to go to the bench
 
Decent effort tonight...we're not a good 3 pt shooting team much these days...tough to win without the deep shot clickin'

CJ just needs shipped out. You can't sit 30M every minute that Dame plays and that's what is needed for us to be effective. Norm sitting can't be an option if you're serious about defense but him playing forward at 6'3" also is not an option if you want to have defensive success.
 
Applaud the effort the last couple of night. It's a shame you have to get down to a large rotation of 2nd and 3rd stringers to get it.

Nas probably pushed too hard to fast after not playing for a while. Impressive showing of exactly the type of player we need. In fact, I'd like to see him as a swing between the 2/3 and get another wing add to the front court.

Hate to throw some realism at you but Dame is coming back, he will be healthier and we will somehow make the playoffs... hopefully it will be with a drastically changed roster that can be competitive.

Try not to do that to Aldo. It puts him on repeat.
 
This is the only road game that I sweat for that winning bet. Still won as Blazers are +9. Thank you again Blazers. Xmas will be good this year

CJ can not only go to the bench, he can get the fuck outta town. The passing and ball movement is so much better without CJ constantly dribbling the air outta the ball. I’m sure Cronin sees this too. Hopefully he has the balls to make a trade to balance the roster. A competent 12-15 ppg PF or long, athletic, defensive minded wing would be a nice get if he can swing either for CJ.

obviously, but i don't want to simply dump CJ for someone taller, nor do i want to trade him while his value is at its lowest. our only hope for building anything of significance around dame in the short term is to find the right deal for CJ.
