    I hear ya. Collins has been my guy since his Zags days.

    F-ing LA has been on a terror, if Zach guards him he will just pump fake and drive by defenders until he gets contact and the whistle blows.

    Zach could be back on the bench in 5 straight plays. I would love to be wrong. Feel free to bump this if we end up beating them.

    LA is uncomfortable with a double team though so that could be an option.

    Aminu would be open all series long playing against SA. They don't have a player who can guard Dame or CJ, and Nurk would have a field day.

    I would LOVE to put TT and them on they're ASSES in the first round.

    5 games. Home stand. Last game of which is tomorrow, hosting the Jazz, who can seemingly beat anyone except Atlanta.

    Let's see how he and they do over their next 7--I wouldn't be surprised if they go 2-5.

    No. The last thing they want is the media to report turmoil in their organization.

    Woj probably broke Green's response before Green tweeted it himself, so no, not weird at all.

    Honestly, regarding the Spurs, I've been tracking expected W-L since the beginning of March. Spurs have only won one game they weren't supposed to, and that was hosting the Warriors without all of their scorers. This current streak they're on is semi-fraudulent.

    Will Milwaukee have Giannis back?

    Swept? Not a chance. Kawhi will still be rusty as hell.

    If the Spurs beat us and it's because TT plays well that would hurt worse. I'm not predicting we'd lose but losing to them would be worst case scenario.

    You don't think he'd be rusty and out of game-shape, since he hasn't played in a YEAR?

    Sorry man, but Zach would foul out in 10 minutes at most.

    You just typed that you are not worried about Russ if we play OKC. Serious question, do you believe the opposing PGs, coaches and scouts feel the same way?

    I don't think anyone is worried about Russ, because it's so easy to get into his head. They're more worried about game planning for Corey Brewer.

    Collins would nullify LA. LA has no handles and isn't agile - he's not getting around Collins. LA can shoot all the jumpers he wants.
    Shit, put Bazz on LA and he'll back away from him and shoot a fade-away...if Bazz doesn't steal the ball!

    I always thought Danny Green was a quality defender.

    A rusty Kawhi is better than 13 of our 15 players on the roster my man.
