McCollum can't argue with criticism of Blazers' defense

Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports

C.J. McCollum regularly engages with people on Twitter, and is known to clap back at haters.

But on Monday night, there wasn't much he could say to one person with a gripe about his team.

It began when the Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard praised Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green for the latter's versatility at the defensive end.

Despite his good intentions, the tweet made C.J. vulnerable to a little roast.

Since the 9-10 Trail Blazers rank dead last in defensive rating, McCollum couldn't deny the claim.
