I watch games when I can. I was excited when they first brought him in as a piece towards the future. Dude just sucks now and is a turnover or bad shot waiting to happen.

CJ was one of reasons we were in it late dude.

Do yall just watch highlights of missed shots and then come here to say a player sucks?

He's an aging, undersized, guard that should be asked to do less as he gets older. Unfortunately, we have to ask him to do more. You can tell he's gassed out there when he has to try to create his own shot.

No idea why we didn't go down to the post more with Val last night. Increasingly frustrating to watch him being called out past the 3 point line to set a screen when none of our ball handlers actually enter the paint after having the screen set for them. Just post him up and get him the entry pass. It was one of our most efficient looks all night last night.

He took a big step up late and his game 1 ended up on the good side of things. He just fricked up on the last possession b/c he's not a legit ballhandler

CJ was brought in to be a veteran leader and the #3 option as a shooting guard. Now you are asking him to be the #1 option because BI sucks and Zion is hurt. And you’re asking him to handle the ball more than he’s ever done.

Last night, and in particular the last possession, was obviously bad. But CJ has been great this year. It's seriously one game.

The dude has been statistically the best 3 point shooter in the entire NBA this year. When you factor in volume, percentage, and overall made three's, he's been the best. How exactly is that bad?

CJ was a huge reason we went on that 4-0 run at the end of the season.

He has also largely disappeared since then.

He can be a streaky guy, but he is a good compliment with Z this late in his career. Without Z's gravity, he seems to be struggling to me

And to answer the OP's original question, CJ started to suck on Tuesday, 4/16 in the play-in game against the Lakers. In the seven games before that, he averaged more than 30 points a game on better than 50% shooting from the 3-point line. He also played 40 minutes a night, which could have a lot to do with what we've seen in the last three games...

Why is no one discussing the misses from Nance on 3/4 last possessions.???

CJ has been great this year because he has been an amazing perimeter shooter and wasn't asked to do too much. With Ingram shitting the bed this post-season, CJ is being expected to carry too much of a load. He's also a histroically non-clutch playoff performer.

CJ has been crucial in making us legit. WTF are you talking about?
Like every player in the league, he can miss a shot or turn the ball over.

When he's asked to be the #1 option.

4 games ago he had just capped off a run of 5-10 games that saved our season...

He's definitely a streaky player. But also, asking him to be the #1 option just doesn't work, nor is that what we got him here to do.

Cj is bad when he dribbles, if he catch and shoot he’s actually good. Unfortunately Zion is injured and BI is not as good as some believe so CJ is almost forced to create (unless they be smart and throw the ball in the post) but we also lack basketball IQ so there’s that
