    Im not gonna use red font, but take it that way. Who on our team is gonna Guard AD or Lebron now? Aminu? He’s been wrecked by both of those guys numerous times, Harkless, same? If they saw Zach they’d laugh on their way to 40 and push him all over the court.

    I believe those guys would make it tougher on Lebron and AD then Love would, but I also think if the Blazers strategy to beat LA is our forwards have to stop theres one on one, well that aint happening...

    Disagree. Kerr is terrible.
    I watched GS this offseason. They didn't play hard. They didn't play smart. When KD was playing, it was KD hero ball.
    They played way below their ability.

    Yes, he's smart, and has a lot of cool plays. Too bad he can't get his players to play anywhere near to up to their abilities.

    What would you guys think of Kevin Love a blazer?
    He could play rover in the front court, they don't need to be super defenders just know how to play zone.
    He can board and shoot at will too.

    I think GS’s problems this year weren't Kerr, so much as being in the finals so much. They were bored, I think Kerr was bored too. I think with that much success game 43 of the regular season is not that interesting.

    D - I agree with you! I started my statement with "I don't want Love". For this year Collins could play PF and Love could play center and you could stagger him and Nurk when he's healthy but I completely agree that I don't want Love playing PF much either.

    My winnings from the 'Over' on the Blazers and Spurs last season may just find it's way to a bet on the Blazers to make the WCF. Odds won't be as good but bet I can find some good value.

    I like this. No chance at all for the L*kers. They didn't even make the list.
