I really like his post-game comments.

Corey was asked about playing well in the hopes of getting more PT and he said that the PT doesn't matter. He just wants to provide energy and do what the team needs in the time that he's given.

Lip service. He is trying hard, and is playing with effort. He wants minutes, and he should get them.

I'd rather live through his mistakes just to get his effort 20 or so mins a night than to watch people who dont care about winning because they have guaranteed contracts.

Me personally, I like the Plumlee/Jefferson frontcourt.

Lopez/KG are too slow.

I think we should also keep in mind that we just played two of the worst teams in the NBA.

If we're seriously committed to making the playoffs, we can't really afford to have both Plumlee and Jefferson get tons of minutes.

I'm all for Plumlee getting minutes IF Hollins continues to have us play with a style that suits his game. He's not doing anything different than what he did last year in these last two games, but as I've said since the start of the season if Hollins is going to force Plumlee to greatly expand his game in order to get PT you're going to keep seeing the crap play Plumlee has given us for most of the season thus far.

I don't mind CJ getting 10-13 minutes max on a nightly basis, but anything more is going to lead to diminishing returns as we'd get abused from teams with better and smarter frontcourts.

I think regardless of the opponent the guy clearly has talent and there is no reason why he hasn't earned himself some decent minutes. If his mistakes are so bad that he becomes a detriment, yank him, but I'm sorry this team is in dire need of athleticism up front and CJ so far has shown that he is willing to play hard, rebound, defend, finish around the rim and step up to take shots.

We are too damn slow amd unathletic and even the coaches acknowledge this. We need guys like CJ & Plumlee to play and play hard. I'll live with mistakes if it makes these guys better, because yes we must make the playoffs to avoid gifting the Hawks a lottery pick but we must also develop these guys and the only way that happens is by letting them get out there and play. Plumlee has quietly put together three decent games in a row.
