im really disappointed in Nurk today so far. He's barely trying after that debacle.

 

[B-Roy]

Please trade CJ

I know he's had far less time to get himself going than the rest of the team, but he's the Bosnian Least so far.

So it looks like the audio is off in 3 different ways.

The TV feed, the live audio and the live video feed. None of them are synced.

Our engineers are busting their ass trying to fix it. We are getting a 3 second delay sent back to us from NJ. This is what happens when we have to try and do these games from home and not on the road. This is going to be a rough year for us trying to cover these games.

 

[Cugel]

I am almost speechless. Why do they ALWAYS have a wide open 3? Leave jokic with an open fucking 3??? Fuck me. Fuck the double teams.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Not happy with Cj's game on either end.

 

[illmatic99]

his defense has been really bad. Like Meyers bad. 0 rim protection-- like what we saw much of the bubble on that end.

 

[Blazinaway]

I hope teams track how many times a player gets beat on a back door cut. CJ would lead the league.

yeah, Denver havin a layup drill, ugh

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Denver’s the last team I want to see in the playoffs.

They are simply just more talented

 

[B-Roy]

CJ is embarrassing. Maybe don’t drink so much wine in the off-season. Can’t even make a basic pass.

 

[AldoTrapani]

today? He’s been garbage all pre season and since late in the bubble..

Makes sense how he signed for cheap. Most overrated blazer

League pass is a cluster tonight as well. Only works on incognito mode for some reason.

 

[Cugel]

I can only watch til they go down by 20.

 

[julius]

so much for not giving up 41 points in the 1st quarter

 

[Blazinaway]

CJ just awful

 

[Blazinaway]

you won't be here long

 

[julius]

One thing that always is bad about this team, they sometimes play like they believe their own press.

 

[Cugel]

You can't tell me this will be different in 5 days. Apparently Stotts elected to not change a thing.

 

[TBpup]

CJ does a lot on the court, but I’m sorry I am fully convinced we would be a better team without him.

It is painfully evident that CJ can not play backup PG. Point guards usually pass and run offense. Things that CJ is unwilling to do.

Have been a Blazer fan since I was a little tyke, but until CJ is off this team, it is just hard to enjoy watching them. His MeJ style of play is so opposite of what made me a Blazer fan. The passing and ball movement of the Walton teams and the passing/fast break style of the Drexler teams.

CJ is a me-first, shoot-first, dribble-the-air-out-of-the-ball eye sore that just makes the Blazers unpalatable at times. Even when he makes shots, it's selfish style of play.

the Russian hack? lol

 

[B-Roy]

I can’t tell if CJ is out of shape but he’s moving like a center out there.

 

[BonesJones]

They are simply just more talented

Theyre not.

 

[julius]

I was told things would be different tonight (and it's not because damian didn't play)

 

[Buffalo Custard]

End of the 1st quarter and we are not quite down 20! Moral victory!

 

[Chris Craig]

Theyre not.

They destroyed us Wednesday. They are destroying us tonight. Back to back 41 pt 1st quarters. They look like the better team to me.

 

[AldoTrapani]

CJ just awful

Nurkic too. This whole team except dame is not good. I don’t know why dame is loyal to this franchise

 

[TBpup]

Ball hog CJ at his best/worst to end the quarter.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets cut, pass, move and get such easy looks time after time.

CJ has to go.

 

[Chris Craig]

Outside of Westbrook, CJ is the most selfish basketball player I have ever seen.

 

[illmatic99]

Dude Terry, Stop playing Melo and Kanter together.

 

[B-Roy]

Looks like we’re going to play a subpar 30 games while CJ works himself into shape. If Orlando would take CJ for Gordon I would ship him out in a second.
