re: CJ was asked why he always plays even when hurt or sick. His reply:

It's fair to ding him for this. I'm just saying, people are melting over him missing a load management game like he's actually injured and out indefinitely. Why can't we wait for an actual injury to melt? Is that too much to ask?

I don't like him resting already. I despise the effort he's giving on defense but...

Seeing how it took him 10 games or so to get acclimated last season then he looked like a completely different dude and went the F off, I'm gonna give it at least 15 or so games for him to come around and get back to that form.

That Zion is what we need. If it's this Zion all season, it won't be good enough for us to do much of anything of note IMO. But add THAT Zion to this squad, and I like it.
