We are 16-2 this year when Mo scores in double figures.

I've been a supporter of him all year. Still am. But he needs to make the extra pass when someone like CJ McCollum who can shoot it is wide open. He ignores him way too often.

Mo really played well tonight. You can't ask for much more. 16 points 5 rebounds and 6 assists in 25 minutes..

Over all I loved the minutes. TRob , McCollum, and Joel all around the 15 minute mark.

I keep hearing you say that so I look for it. I just don't agree. There were a couple of times he went the other way, but there were a couple time he went to him and ignored the other side. I think it is in your head. I also saw Mo give it to CJ to set up the offense a couple of times.

I love what Mo brings to the team.

When Dwight Jaynes sits on a couch, he looks really, really round.

Pull up an archive of where I made this exact point. You won't find it. Not sure where you have 'heard' I said it.

But I've watched these two for several games and he does ignore him. He's not the only one. They all do. His is exposed more because he plays with him in the second unit...

I'd be open to trading Mo for a PG who can play lockdown defense, knock down the open 3, and distribute; in that order. Then let CJ be the "instant offense" off the bench.

I'm not real up on my defensive point guards... Looks like maybe DJ Augustin? We're getting Manu.

He's only getting 8 minutes a game in Toronto, but I don't think he's eligible to trade until next year.

Sorry I guess I got it backwards. My bad. Regardless, we aren't getting him.

I think the real point here is "good luck finding defensive point guards who can pass and shoot the three, because there aren't that many."

This is what you get when you up the DRtg to 106 (around league average), and drop the assists per 24 minutes to 3 (not great).

Pargo would be a great pickup, though.

Shumpert is a guy I'd look at.

Sorry. Someone else must have also said it. In any case I disagree. Take last night for instance, when CJ came in the game in the 1st qtr, LMA was still in the game, so I think it made sense that Mo went to LMA over CJ.

At the beginning of the 2nd qtr they had Wes in. Mo may have favored Wes, but I don't think he was deliberately freezing out CJ. I just think it was the game plan. The 2nd unit has struggled on occasion so why not have the starters involved more in the offense when they play with them? They all got plenty of shots regardless, so I think it went pretty well.

I think they have worked CJ slowly into the offense very effectively. In a way that has built his confidence. Gradually he will shoot more. He does seem to be able to get his shot off just fine against better players.
