During an edition of his most recent podcast (which came out Tuesday), Blazers star/former journalism major C.J. McCollum tossed out some comments that got him a lot of buzz on Reddit.
Roughly 11:50 into that podcast, which is called Pull Up With CJ McCollum, 2016’s Most Improved Player called the Cavaliers “one of the worst defensive teams I’ve ever played against.”
Frankly, I think most people (Cavs fans included) would be hard pressed to disagree with that. In fact, the top comment was from a Cavs fan who wrote “Is this a surprising thing to say?”
Nevertheless, McCollum stated that he thinks Cleveland’s deficiencies come from the team’s high roster turnover.

Damn CJ getting hella hate for an opinion
lebron to the blazers may make senses. they have a hole at sf, and came in 3rd in the west with 2 outstanding guards
And portlands defense is any better ??? gtfoh
LOL ETHER HUH?!?!?!
Of course he knows what good defence is because he had front row seats to rondo and drue holiday locking him and dame up
That is pretty ironic coming from a guy coming that got swept in the first round by the pelicans but while cj is busy talking bad about the cavs we are busy competing for a championship🙏👏🙌💯
Talking all that shit but ain’t even in the playoffs anymore
Aaaaaannnnnd where is C.J. McCollum……oh at home. Shut the fuck up.
CJ talks as if he's already retired nah buddy you just got swept off the face of the playoffs like yesterday chill with them facts you spewing
Ethers??? He's speaking facts
Not sure ether is the right word for this just facts, thanks complex for over reacting n cj should be worrying about the pelican LMAO
Erhered? Come on fam…
They all have to pick up extra on def cause lebron gets the slowest player to defend which means the center on the cavs is going to be at a disadvantage most of the time cause he has to guard someone that's faster than him. Lebron doesn't play help side defense. He just want to sit in the lane all day to get his rebound stats. Stat chasing ass.
Swept
C.J. just salty as hell that they got swept and it was embarrassing so who really got ethered,go figure
I like CJ as a player but he needs to STFU about this. His team got swept in the first round
Tell CJ what date the finals start so he can be home to watch
Lebron love to be on a team where he’s “the best” come to the west
…Says the dude who's team had NOTHING for the Pelicans. Guess he's got nothing to do besides be on podcasts once he got SWEPT
I mean, cj’s pretty spot on.Teams always trying to give lebron everything he wants and asks for, which is why a lot of people will never view him as the greatest of all time. Difference between the Warriors and Cavs is that the Warriors built their team from the ground up, minus kd, and have reaped the rewards for having a great front office and coaching staff.
Said by the guy who got swept
Complex is fucking losing posting dumb shit like this I give em 6 more months
Meanwhile that nigga is at home with that other trash nigga dame after they got ethered by nola LMFAOOOOOO
Jrue Holiday had him in Dame in CLAMPS so I would relax if I was him. Love your game though CJ.
Explain to me the definition of “ether” again real quick??
L 👀👀👀
I'm a dubs fan and it's funny how bad the title is considering who CJ Mccollum is and what he is doing as of right now. How the fuck is that an "ether"
Lost respect for Mccollum even tho there wasn't any real respect to begin with LMAO
HOW CAN YOU ETHER A TEAM WHEN YOU BEEN HOME FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS? YA WHOLE CAREER ETHERED AT THAT POINT LMAO
But his team only 1 game of the 2 games played
Like keeping the same team together really worked out for him🤦🏾♂️
Son got swept he cant talk..
The Cavs still won a recent championship and dont get swept in the first round Cj … lol
Complex do you understand what the term "ether" even means
I mean he speaking facts lmao why are cavs fans mad? And why are bronsexuals offended like if he said lebron is not a top 10 player in the league or something
From a nigga who been balling with the same dude for 3years and can't get to a finals
What happened to this channel. Damn this channel is dying fr
