He missed one tonight, to make one miss for the year, but your point is still valid.

One thing I truly hate about the NBA... You just can't "cut" somebody without paying for it... Literally...
You can't trade Raja (because he isn't worth a bag of chips), and you can't take away his minutes because then he might turn into a cancer...
Stuck between a rock and a hard place... Maybe we can just "give him" to somebody??
Good clamp-down D at the end. Finally they stopped Jack
Nice game from Howard.
Burks was sure rewarded for his good 2nd quarter. Bell gets one rebound. That's his stats for the whole game. At least he only got 13 minutes....as his minutes keep going down...down...down...down

I agree. He hasn't played much in the last couple years so there's bound to be rust. Usually that's on the offensive side. Although, tonight he seemed a little better. Give him time. He'll become one of the fan favorites.

I thought he made some plays tonight. I'm not a Cj supporter but I'll give credit when it's due.

Usually, in circumstances like these, you trade them for a 2nd round pick to a team who needs some veteran presence in the locker room. Of course, keep in mind, that's what I see his role being this year for us. Just someone who helps explain things to guys in practice and keeps the younger guys levelheaded.

What's that thing that scissors do?
Which foul at the end if the half or which rejection by Jack are you talking about?

CJ has talent but he makes silly mistakes when the game is on the line. He gets too impatient and tries to force things (silly fouls, not pump faking on that break away layup/missed dunk, tries difficult shots, passes in midair, etc.)
Jack scored almost all of his points by screen and rolling with whomever Jefferson was guarding. In the 3rd and 4th they tried the same thing with Favors and he wasn't getting good shots.
I was impressed with Howard energy, defense and toughness. CJ made several dumb plays but a couple of important ones in crunch time. I think it is time to put Bell out to pasture. Start Hayward and Howard together. Use CJ and Burks off the bench. Harris is being more aggressive-that is a very good sign.
