    I think Cam has been dealing with a variety of injuries for awhile and his play has dipped because of it but since we continue to roll him out there, people aren't taking that into account.





    Those ridiculous paddles

    Makes entirely too much sense ..... therefore were Numbnuts to read it he would hate it. Relationships from years ago are more important to him. It definitely appears.

    This team needs Cam. They have no POA defense without him.

    Cam and Vando is good combo. Please play less Prince

    It’s crazy how much he impacts our defense.

    Let's see if they let him fully heal or rushed him back... again. Will be able to tell pretty early into the game Sunday.

    It will be a miracle if Cam can get with the starters and push Prince to the bench

    Dlo/Reaves/Vando/Bron/AD is hard to figure out for Ham.

    I sure hope if Cam does play, he’s healthy and doesn’t get injured again in 5 minutes on the court. If he’s really not 100%, sit him for as long as it takes. We can’t keep doing the same stupid stuff, over and over again.

    As long as Reaves, Russell and Lebron aren't getting torched on the perimeter.

    He's an elite defender when healthy. The length size and agility just makes such a big difference.

    Keep him healthy

    I like Cam much more off the bench. That, or in place of Prince with the starters maybe, but not both of them together, it’s bad for both players and our offense. Ham really uses so many players wrong.

    Nice return game. Looks healthy. Moving completely differently out there. Before he sat out, the offensive drives had gotten scary. Bumbling, tumbling, fumbling circus nearly every drive. Guessing the groin injuries + knee injury was limiting his mobility and fluidity.

    he hasn't been able to do things like this for a minute



    Then defensively pressure was dialed up and jumping the lanes in the backcourt. Didn't quite look back to form on recovering after helping, but I'll take it. Hopefully Ham is smart with his minutes and keeps him healthy and sits him when he's not.

    He and Vando were menacing during our run. Both healthy for once. If we have a ball handling guard and some shooting next to those two, they can ruin another team's second unit.

    Man kills me he keeps getting hurt
    My favorite addition of the off-season and when he's been healthy he's so good.

    Was great tonight (except for bricking some FTs) till the ankle

    If we had Cam last year I think we win the title. Just needed a guy to throw at Murray who they couldn't completely ignore on defense.
    when he's been healthy Cam can finish, run the floor etc

    Team is so close yet so far away
