    I love that second unit. Unselfish with good spacing. We’ll see how they hold up defensively, but they’re also going up other backups so it’s not that big of a concern, especially if they’re making it rain.

    What do people expect, the 280 pounder to run around with Kuzma and pogo McGee? We’ll need him against teams with real centers, which is a majority of the league.

    Blazers would have scored 140 if not for all those non-continuation calls.....that you KNOW Harden, Durant, Curry and LeBron would get.

    I’m surprised the blazers kept their cool. I mean, those were obvious calls.

    Wow, congratulations guys! You all look pretty stupid now. It's really quite pathetic how some of you act during a game where a player makes one mistake and he should be cut or sucks or whatever.

    Collins once again showed a glimpse of his potential. He plays better when he is playing with the starters/closers. That way he can focus on defense and contributing when he can on offense. It's not his game to be the go to guy like in summer league style basketball. Let him develop, his skillset is a perfect match with Dame.

    Bravo! Beat the Lakers, Refs, and the LeBron licking media. Bench was amazing. ET now has a place, and these guys can shoot. Dame is so good. Refs robbed him of 6 pts, with two completely bizarre calls, but is what it is. Nurk with some great put backs, and will have monster games in the future. Way to honor Mr. Allen. I knew TNT, or TLN ( Total LeBron Network) would be bad, but it was way worse, and quite frankly, pathetic. Go Blazers!! SHOCK THE WORLD.

    This is why I avoid the game threads until halftime/after the game. It’s just a bunch of noooon seeeense.

    I thought Nurk played pretty well too. His 3rd foul was bad IMO. If they call that pick a foul then every
    screen on the perimeter should be. It was a crucial call since he picked up his 4th shortly after.
