Notice The CJ injury update thread

[H.C.]

Hood starting as our SG? Yes or No?

Hood is most likely yeah.
Curry/Hood will split minutes.
Layman at the 2 is an option as well.

 

[Propagandist]

My vote would be for Rodney Hood.

 

[Chris Craig]

Hood starting as our SG? Yes or No?

Until CJ is back yes

 

[tlongII]

Should be interesting. Hood would give us a very big team. We might rather have Curry’s shooting though.

 

[DDolla]

More on Woj...

Best possible news for McCollum and Blazers, who avoided a serious injury.

Yes Sir!

 

[tester551]

There were several posts by some that claimed CJ was one of the worst players on the team. I'm sure that's who they are referencing.

Ive never seen anyone post saying hes one of the worst players on the team.

Overpaid? -> sure

Duplication of skills? -> yep

Shoots too much & needs to pass more? -> yep

Suggesting that the team might be better by trading CJ for a significant upgrade at a forward position? -> yep

One of the worst players on the team? -> Nope. Not even close.

 

[Chris Craig]

So does Stotts plug in Hood/Curry and run the same offense or will Nurk get more touches?

Dang, he went and grabbed his knee right away, hope it’s just a bad sprain.

He actually grabbed his lower leg.

 

[Lanny]

You gotta stop telling people to shut up.

Please.

This is your 2nd or 3rd time tonight you've told someone that.

Would you please shut the fuck up? Asking for a friend.

 

[Lanny]

Oh, sorry I told the guy who's physically threatened people and continuously insulted people and who's on his 6th account after being banned multiple times to shut up in regards to him saying we should tank when we already have 42 wins just because of an injury.

Smh.

Would you please stop telling people to shut the fuck up? Asking for a friend.

 

[Lanny]

When I replayed the incident it looked like he took a knee to his lower leg. Hopefully the injury was just painful and not that serious.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Yes, that "several" would be the small percentage I referenced in my post. I find it hard to believe anyone would have wanted to just cut him or for him to get injured.

I have been open to trading CJ, not because I think he sucks, but because of a few other things. The Blazers really need a two way wing who doesnt decide to show up only when Saturns moons align properly. I think CJ would do better in a PG type role that Dame has now. I also believe they could use him as an asset to fill other needs.
Definitely think he’s a solid scorer, and valuable to the team though.

and I have.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

and I have.

There are a few guys who really dislike CJ, and CJ’s game. Maybe they think the Blazers are better without him. I dont know but you have to be a little messed up to hope someone gets hurt.

 

[Shaboid]

Maybe Meyers will finally get some time at SG now

 

[Binx]

Has this already been posted? Didn’t see it.

[hoopsjock]

Neither do I. Did someone say that?

Okay, I'm trying to respond as nice as possible but are you saying there are people that think CJ is the worst player on the team but they want him to be on the team still?

Tell me how that makes sense? If it doesn't make sense then it is not a stretch to imply that if someone thinks CJ is the worst player on the team that the person wouldn't want CJ on the team anymore. In fact I would almost guarantee if someone actually said that they either said it in the flow of a game and didn't really mean it literally or they really do hate CJ and don't want him on the team.

I just don't get your response to my post if you are then going to say, "Did I say that?" Where were you going with this if not there?

 

[PDXFonz]

So it’s a @Rastapopoulos strain after all

 

[Scalma]

Don’t think anyone has ever wished for CJ to get hurt. I know I haven’t. But I’d be lying if I said I thought we were a better team with him. And that’s not necessarily a shot at CJ, but more so at Stotts for how he uses him.

Hate that it took an injury to force his hand, but now maybe we’ll see actual basketball instead of just leaning on two dudes to do everything offensively, while everyone else functions only to get those two their shots.

 

[e_blazer]

Maybe it’s just the conspiracy theorist in me, but I find it very odd that CJ gets injured in San Antonio and the first syllable in popliteus strain is “Pop”. Just saying.

I never said that those that were claiming CJ was one of the worst players that they wanted to keep him. If so, where did I say that as I don't remember doing it. and I am being very serious. Oh, and in addition, I have read posts where the poster said that we would be a better team without him and that wasn't based on trading him. You have to realize that there is a lot of stupid shit said in this forum.

No doubt and I don't remember anyone saying it, but in this forum, pretty much anything is possible.

Can keep whacking away at it but that horse is fucking dead

Seriously though, what are you even trying to say then? You always like to play the "where did I say that card?"

I am being serious, but now I really don't know what you are talking about. Best for us to move on then.

Here's one of the best things about this forum compared to OLive:

Posts get archived.

It's pretty simple from here.

You claim to have seen posts claiming CJ is the "worst on the team".

So... Go get the posts...



Our contention is that no one has said that.

The burden of proof is on you.

 

[wizenheimer]

my wife had a popliteus sprain from a ski accident and was in a soft brace for a couple of weeks & gimpy for a month, at least. She was in real good shape at the time, but was 41 and not a professional athlete

Not that big of a deal and not worth my time to try and shuffle through thousands of posts just to appease you. If you want it, knock yourself out.
