Hey remember when you made a fake account pretending to be your own girlfriend so that someone would agree with you?
CJ isn't terrible he is just streaky. The problem is with the coaching. Put CJ in and let him take three shots. If he makes 2 or more than he hot and should play as much as possible. If he misses 2 or more than sit him down the rest of game. I can't remember any game where CJ shot terrible and then turned it around. When hes bad he is bad and when he is hot he should play.
What? Why the clown avatar? So are you a clown lover, I mean Miles lover? I've read how some of you went after rainhut. Look who's laughing now. I do wish he would come back.
No, sorry. But I have read his blogs. Why do you hate rainhut? He was right about MIles.
Rainhut said Miles would cost Sloan his job. I think he was right. But I want to know how he knew. That's why I wish rainhut would come back.
Really? You really back?
Streaky doesn't work that way, not even for CJ Miles. Not remebering something you think wouldn't exist is confirmation bias.
I wish Trout could stop eating for like 20 minutes and contact Smiles again...

Agree 90%. CJ is a big part of this team winning. Also a big part of us losing when he becomes a chucker. Corbin is the key to CJ's development right now. That's right, CJ is still in development stage. Too bad he's making 8 Million a year(not). Chuckeritis can be cured, at least with a player who is still making his way. Less than 10 shots a game. When he first comes in, drive and score, or drive and dish. If he is successful, let him shoot a few, but put him on the bench if he gets to chucker mode, and misses 3 jumpers in a row.
Corbin seems to be watching this so far(as of today). I wasn't sure about TY at first, but I'm less doubtful after tonight. I think CJ will be a great measure of Ty's coaching ability.

Yeah, especially since one good game every fortnight means that he should automatically be a starter
Maybe he is better as a starter. The guys on TV had stats showing that is true so far.

The last 3-4 times he has started he has had good outings. Put him with better player's with less responsibility to score on his shoulder's and he seems to do better. Let AK carry that 2nd unit when he gets back. I want him to have a bigger role while on the floor anyway.
You must be CJ.

Well, he actually had only 5 starts for the whole season (@LAL, vs PHX, @ PHX, vs GSW, @TOR) against 57 appearances off the bench, but anyway, I checked the numbers:
Stats as starter: 44% FG, 37% 3PT, 19.0 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 2.8 APG, 1.6 SPG, 0.6 BPG, 1.4 TO in 36 mins
Off the bench: 40% FG, 33% 3PT, 11.8PPG, 3.1 RPG, 1.5 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 1.1 TO in 23 mins.
As well as shooting a better percentage, adjusting his per-game stats to a per-minute basis, he is (marginally) better in every category except Blocks as a starter. Also, his scores/rebounds/assists in these five games: 14/4/5, 19/6/2, 19/3/2, 20/6/1, 23/7/4. Even his shooting is much the same - 5-11, 9-19, 8-19, 7-18, 9-17. It's a small sample size, which I am loathe to draw too many conclusions from, but these games are relatively consistent, which is interesting. Perhaps starting him is the key to getting him to perform well and consistently? Given what we are getting out of Raja, could it hurt any to switch their roles?

So you are rainhut. You really need to learn to change posting styles if your going to keep reinventing yourself with new "friends".
