And if SA wins this game , you don't make this post.
Oh, how fragile "logic" can be.

Why not? I've been beating the cronin sucks drum since the deadline

 

[illmatic99]

There's not much inherently different with CJ's game in NO vs Portland. He's just making more shots now.

He got to the line 5 times in the half. It used to take him multiple games to do that

 

[Sean.ivity]

I've always thought CJ needed to be either starting PG or a 6th man role. Now he's starting PG surrounded by long players who play D. It just simply didn't work next to Dame, too short and not enough D. I don't think anyone has ever questioned CJ's ability to get hot and score buckets.

 

[Chris Craig]

Pop needs to make adjustments at halftime but 11 points is by no means insurmountable.

If anyone can make adjustments, it's him

 

[Wade Garrett]

You can’t make this up. Too bad for Blazers but love it for CJ. And Cronin has to feel like shit watching this. Lol

You guys act like Minnesota did last night. As in....Overreact.
Newsflash...The Pels are not in the playoffs, and odds are very strong they won't be.
Why everyone freakin' during the first half of a play-in play-in game?
Shit, ya'll already took the pick away...
You guys are funny.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

How about someone who does the stats thing figure out how many times CJ had 27 points in a half.
I’ll bet it happened a number of times.
CJ has always been a guy who could score.
In this game SA has no offensive threat to take advantage of his defense.

 

[Hoopguru]

Bet Dame is happy that CJ is playing well!

 

[Strenuus]

Yes, CJ. Do what you did for us all the time and go cold in the 2nd half and freeze out your teammates. Yesssss, yes.

 

[illmatic99]

If anyone can make adjustments, it's him

Not when Johnson and Murray remain invisible. They're lucky Vassell made his threes

 

[HailBlazers]

If anyone can make adjustments, it's him

Tough when you're handicapped, talent wise

Trust me, they are getting new assholes ripped as we speak

 

[HailBlazers]

I'm happy for him, expected it.

 

[Chris Craig]

Yes, CJ. Do what you did for us all the time and go cold in the 2nd half and freeze out your teammates. Yesssss, yes.

I'm hoping

 

[illmatic99]

Trust me, they are getting new assholes ripped as we speak

This might be Pop's last game ever.

 

[Strenuus]

Also does losing the Pels pick stop us from trading for Grant?? Maybe that Bucks 2025 pick will be better lol.

Lmao nice. A silver lining after all if all goes to hell.

 

[Chris Craig]

This might be Pop's last game ever.

Maybe

Josh Hart is a better compliment to Dame.
Hart is no slouch offensively when he’s asked to score.

 

[Wade Garrett]

This might be Pop's last game ever.

Hope not. But if it is, I got a nice memory this year.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Can’t capitalize

Nice!

 

[OneSport3]

This is why I wanted to help the Spurs (by beating the Pels last week) to get home court in this game. The Spurs are young and playing on the road in a playoff environment is clearly affecting them.

Still no chance the Pels beat the Clippers on the road. Guys like Alvarado and Murphy won’t translate on the road. The Clippers are way more talented and experienced than the Spurs. The Clippers have guys that will neutralize CJ.

[Labinot41]

Our hands are in Paul George's hands lmao

 

[illmatic99]

Josh Hart is a better compliment to Dame.

it doesn't matter to me how many times Hart compliments dame.

 

[Hoopguru]

Jones is impressive.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Jones is impressive.

Man, they just can't stop him.

 

[illmatic99]

keldon johnson is such a fraud.

It’s an overreaction to talk about a former Blazer going absolutely bonkers in a game where the Blazers need his team to lose? Seems pretty newsworthy.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

When Jonas sat down, the Spurs had 64, CJ/Ingram/JV alone had 63 combined.
