Who says CJ can't pass!

 

[H.C.]

I wanna blow them out so I can witness WB4/PapaG pick n rolls.

Nah, championship week for my fantasy league and I'm in it.
I need a big game from CJ to make up for his shitty ass performance last night.
30/15/10/10/10 pls CJ.

 

[DDolla]

CJ playing a very controlled game, hitting shots and creating shots

 

[BonesJones]

Damn, I'm liking Wade. He's quick.

He's an NBA athlete with an NBA body. Dude has legit potential. I still want to resign Shabazz for cheap this off-season and then if Baldwin develops well, I'd try and flip Shabazz in a package for a forward upgrade. I think that might be the plan. Baldwin fits great with C.J. and Dame because he can play PG, but also guard whoever the other teams best guard is, whether it be a PG or SG. Shabazz doesn't have that ability.

Lmao. How about 50 before the 4th again?

Don't remember people saying he can't pass....just that at times it seems like he won't. Some nice dimes tonight so far.

 

[H.C.]

Nah, don't really need points.
Need him to fill the box score.

It helps that he’s playing against five mannequins out there.

I wish he was able to play such a controlled, floor-general type of game against good teams. He's able to do it against poor teams.. Maybe he just isn't tasked with the responsibility consistently enough to do it consistently.

"When asked after the game, CJ McCollum said he asked Coach Stotts to leave him in the game at the beginning of the critical 2nd quarter. "I was gassed, but I knew how important it was for us to get this win here tonight in Memphis. Usually, I'd be coming out at the beginning of the second, but I had it going and I felt like the team needed me out there." said CJ."

 

[B-Roy]

Jesus, Baldwin is an athlete!

 

[Strenuus]

Baldwin looks like a cross between Russell Westbrook and Brandon Roy.

 

[ripcityboy]

Man, if Baldwin turns out to be a player that would be a huge get for us.

 

[BonesJones]

What a strong take by Baldwin. That was a Dame type of play. We've already seen the CJ-esque floater.

 

[H.C.]

Shoot the ball Pat.
Let Davis rebound.

 

[TBpup]

Baldwin with the controlled drive...draws the foul. Then forces a TO.

 

[B-Roy]

Pat. You suck LOL

 

[SIeepwalker]

Wade is better than Pat...

 

[BonesJones]

Pat with a dumb pass. Go up, finish or get fouled.

 

[B-Roy]

What is Baldwin's contract situation?

 

[BonesJones]

Wade is better than Pat...

Not a surprise that the basketball player is better at basketball than the baseball player.

 

[BonesJones]

What is Baldwin's contract situation?

We have him signed through next year.

 

[H.C.]

There you go pat. Shoot the ball and let Davis rebound.

 

[ripcityboy]

We got our "Shooters lineup" out there now.

 

[BonesJones]

Yay, Pat hit a 3.

 

[BonesJones]

Travel.

 

[BonesJones]

Horrible pass by Turner haha. Lucky break.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Maybe we should check Parsons - it's not like they have any other shooters....

 

[BonesJones]

Is it just me or is that a horrible shot by Turner? Fadeaway, double-teamed mid-range jumper early in the clock? Ugh.

 

[AFully22]

Keep Baldwin in the system for another year and let him work with our coaching staff to develop a consistent jumper and he can be a solid rotation guy.

His athleticism is obvious and you can tell he has a good feel for the game, just needs some NBA polishing. Wouldn’t be suprised if he turns into our next Shabazz Napier.
