    Brooklyn has nothing to play for. Can't they take it easy? Rest for playoffs?

    I mean if we can't get either from Collins (which we can't), we may as well have an offensive threat.

    If we make it to playoffs, I don’t know how we beat Lakers with this defense.

    Do you guys think Collins will ever have a game like meyers against Golden State in game 4?

    If I see another soft shot right at the rim by our bigs going to be mad. Teach these guys two hands and jam the ball thru the net none of these Lollypop shots

    Collins upside is a Zeller brother at best.

    Collins is the most overrated defender on our team.

    He can switch defend in a pinch but with his weight loss his post defense is not good.

    Although you don't have to, you are allowed to swear here.

    unrelated to the post:

    I think the game still comes too fast to Zach. He needs to work on his footwork, his hands and not being so skiddish out there. If not, he'll never live up to his potential.
