This team needs CJ, even when he is struggling on the court. This isn't 2K, these are real human beings playing and they need vet leadership.

Everyone needs to relax.

CJ is trying to hard to force the issue which results in a difficult shot way too many times. Dude needs to stop being a primary ball handler. Our offense has flowed so much better

last game, undrafted Jose was the difference
this game, undrafted Naji was the difference

each makes about 1.5MM

that is unbelievable in today’s NBA

CJ has always been a high level shot maker. The degree of difficulty in the type of shots he take has always been tough. He just happens to make them at a high clip. He just needs to get out of his slump. It's been 20 games, I'm not even thinking about panicking yet.

This season is a marathon, not a sprint. It makes sense for CJ to take a lot of shots in a very winnable game 24 out of 82 against a super young Pistons team. At some point, he needs to snap out of his rut - he hasn't forgotten how to play basketball.

I'm fine with giving CJ a lot of run now even though it looks ugly due to his rust and rough start. Come playoff time, we will need Zion/BI/CJ all playing together at an optimum level.

Trey Murphy 20/5/5 in 35 minutes including the icing free throws. He’s shooting 43/40/95 on the year, and playing solid defense

Celts will beat the Suns. Pels will be sole 1st in the west. Drop the Suns in both and take control of the west. Cha-Ching.

You can see a clear difference in offense/ ball movement when he sits down compared to when he’s on the floor. He’s been a ball stopper with a shitty shot. That’s not me hating it is what it is.


CJ will be fine, he's going to be the difference in some tight contest. I think he's struggling a bit with his role. His scoring is not as crucial to the team as it was a year ago with TM3 ascending and Zion back and he's never been an open court distributor. But he can score in bunches against anyone and that's where he is going to be useful.

He has the attention of the defense whether the shot is falling or not. Others benefit. Data says, keep doing what he’s doing

Alavarado was 29% from 3 the 13 games prior to his nugget outburst. You don’t just stop going at em

Where?

The 1st game Zion played with no BI or CJ I bet 5x units on Zion over 4.5 assists but since then it's been 5.5 every game.

Jose passes to Zion tho.

I’m hard on CJ because he is a 10 year vet. He isn’t Naji, Jose, or any other guy early in their career. He needs to play smarter. If you miss a few shots then start passing and doing other things well. He just keeps shooting even when it’s a close game and we need a bucket. Should be held at a higher standard and deserves some backlash.

That last shot in the final minute pissed me off. He missed the previous 3 and then takes that shot knowing it’s not falling. Should have passed it. Naji bailed him out.

I shite on Naji a lot early in the season, but he was very good tonight and has been overall pretty good so far.

CJ has the highest assist rate on the team. Pacing to be a career high as well as career high reb rate. 2nd on the team in def win shares. To say he’s not impacting the game in other areas is asinine

He’s shooting a bit better than that:

48/41/95

Definitely has a shot at 50/40/90

I feel like this is the first day on FanDuel that the assist was over 4.5
