In my opinion the 2014-15 Blazers was actually the best chance we had of winning a championship post 2000 prior to Wesley going down .

A major weakness in the Lillard/Aldridge years though was our bench was extremely weak . I don’t think though that was necessarily true in 2014-15 given we had CJ .

Given how good CJ would turn out to be the following year , I think it was a major mistake not playing him 20-25 minutes a night that year . He easily could have been an excellent 6th man and given Wesley more time to rest which could have prevented his injury .
