    And, yet he is.

    Collins since the all star game (last 8 games):
    FG% = .514
    3FG% = .429
    FT% = .833
    TS% = .618
    ORtg = 107
    DRtg = 101
    +/- = +17.3
    MPG = 18.4

    Nurkic since the all star game (last 8 games):
    FG% = .527
    3FG% = undefined
    FT% = .571
    TS% = .539
    ORtg = 102
    DRtg = 96
    +/- = +16.7
    MPG = 23.2

    Nurks' numbers are still very good, but Collins has been beasting it lately. His defense has been solid from day 1, and now his offense is coming around. You say he isn't ready to produce on a consistent basis, yet are having a huge meltdown that Nurk isn't getting enough minutes. Well, someone is inconsistent alright, but it's not Zach Collins.

    Besides, Collins is taking minutes away from Aminu at the 4 and I consider that a good thing.

    At this point, Dame has torched them so many times no matter how hard they try to stop him, how can he not give him some respect?

    I hope everything is okay with you, my friend. I know you like to joke with Nurk haters, but now it's extrapolated.. hope you're doing well.

    do you think were 3th seed good

    do you think Jimmy Buckets isnt a big loss for them and do you think were better than OKC

    OKC is my surprise team to miss the playoffs. Look at their schedule! It’s gotta be one of the hardest remaining.

    We are good enough to get HCA, no question in my mind.

    Except for that fact that ED DAVIS is a fucking BEAST and we don’t need soft play around the rim in the 4th quarter.

    GSW, HOU, SAS, MIN & OKC are all better teams than POR

    GSW, HOU, SAS shouldnt even be in the discussion, but SAS it not as good without Kawhi, but they have Pop, so they could very well finish above us, but its not for granted... they had other injury problems too, but Kawhi is the main one!

    OKC has Westbrook and PG13 and lets be honest, theyre better than Dame and CJ... there was a lot of our fans who wanted Carmelo here, but hes there... according to many NBA fans, Roberson is the best defender in the NBA this season , but he had season ending injury... Adams is doing great in the role thats given to him... sorry, but Westbrook-PG13-Carmelo-Roberson-Adams is better than Dame-CJ-Harkless-Aminu-Nurk... they have a clown for a head coach, so they didnt figured it out, now its to late and they have very tough schedule!

    MIN has Jimmy Buckets-KAT-Wiggins-Teague-Gibson and thats better than Dame-CJ-Harkless-Aminu-Nurk... prior to Jimmys injury, they were couple of games ahead of us and despite our winning streak, we wouldnt be able to catch them, cause theyd win games too

    SAS lost Kawhi, MIN lost Jimmy, how about we lose Dame and see where we end up, eh...
