    POR/LAL=14W>>>POR/PHI=W Got to keep CJ and Napier as starters until Dame is fully recovered. Stotts:Give Collins his share. Hark made a good show in LA/expect more in Philly.

    Back in the day they had college style One and ones; if he missed the first there wouldn’t be a second.

    Was the 3 to make 2 also the standard?

    Thanks. I didn't think of that.

    Those are what I was thinking of. Why, did they sneak in a change or something?

    No I don’t think so; I think they were rebounding on every attempt.

    Things not based in reality resonate with others.

    His take on Collins was off, but he nailed Swanigan. Its as if he wrote it a week or so ago

    So you agree that "he'd be better off developing in the G-League." ? you think the sentence "He isn't physically or intellectually ready to defend or execute offensively against NBA centers." has any sense considering he's playing PF ? Also not intellectually ready ? That's bullshit.

    Collins has been playing a good chunk of minutes and having a good impact on the team, so why the fuck would he need to go to the D-league ? It's clear that the author of this article is someone who has little knowledge of what Zach is currently doing and has not watched recent Blazers games.

    So now you can take your dumb "S2 posters get annoyed as soon as an article is not all praise" and save it for an article that makes sense.

    Notice how this was posted in a thread about Zach Collins.
    We are probably all for Swanigan getting in the D-league if he's gonna seat in a suit on the bench.

    Swanigan needs to play, not only to develop his game, but his body. His weight loss has been commendable, but he’s still not in NBA shape yet. I have no doubt he’ll get there considering his work ethic but he’s not there right now. We have to remember Swanigan is only 20 himself. Yeah it sucks that we don’t have Kuzma but Swanigan should have a place in an NBA rotation eventually.

    That chart is not compelling.

    Criticism which is obvious common sense: The +15 game (Denver) skewed the total. Take out the outlier game and there's little difference or pattern.

    Total of Last 5 games:
    ZC: +7, Team: +2

    Criticism which is not obvious, and requires examining the site below: In that game, Collins rarely played with starting point guard McCollum, who pulled down the +/- of every other Blazer. McCollum destroyed his own teammates, so Collins looked better than them in +/-.
