    Kind of wish Ball was playing and Swanigan could give him a "welcome to the NBA" body check in the lane. Even if Biggie got ejected he would go down in the Blazer hall of fame for that.

    And when Ball is on the ground whisper "can't wait to see you in Portland".

    What's the official injury status. Is Ball officially out? What about Collins and Connaughton?

    It sounded like Collins and Pat were out for the series. I think either could play, but at this point why risk the injury.

    Collins will probably not play....Neil said they want him healthy for the big man camp they're sending him to

    That was some of the best news I heard recently (big man camp). I wonder if others are going too (Biggie, Vonleh, Biebs)

    The Underdog, Old School Blazers vs. the Over Hyped NBA Darling.

    The key to this game for the Blazers is rebounding and turnovers. Which ultimately falls on our over-matched guards. Face it, our guards suck, particularly in their decision making. The only way we win this game is first, the guards and wings need to force misses, so our bigs can clean the boards. Second, if the refs let the Lakers mug and muscle our guards with impunity, and as a result the Blazers keep giving the ball away like they did last night, this won't end well for the good guys.

    If they take care of the ball, force misses, and clean the glass: Blazers Win! Blazers Win!!

    :cheers:

    I suspect that after he meets Biggie they will automagically morph into the following:

    The hype is now through the roof in Laker land for Lonzo. Way more than before SL started. Had to turn the radio off.
