    The fight for the playin has been awesome. Now I hope most years we are a HCA seed as last year... but it has created a ton of playoff intensity elimiation games. I think they need to add this permentely. It's also great development for young players such as PHX, SAS, dal, etc to play these games.

    This is just weird? Who has ever heard of dehydration recovery taking 5 days unless you have been on Naked and Afraid or something?

    If he's been fishing or on the water in Orlando in Aug...I can see how he could have overdone it and have to have saline treatments to make sure his kidney's are flushed and ok...he wasn't going to play anyway at this point...Mario took those minutes

    I think the only reason Mario plays is because he’s somewhat of a good ball handler and helps initiate offense. He’s an ok passer but other than that he’s not very good. We don’t have anybody else that really can help Dame and Cj not controlling the ball

    Don't forget Swanigan who bailed on the team when we needed him most.

    Straight up Rio plays because Stotts overvalues offense. Rio can on occasion show flashes of offensive gifts... that's all you need to do to be in Stotts' rotation. Now if Wenyen and Nas show that they are superior defenders than 80% of the roster but are just incredibly basic hustle players on O, Stotts isn't giving them the time of day.

    Collins looked really bad in the bubble so far, Terry needs to change the Starting lineup, the lineup of Dame/CJ/Melo/Collins/Nurk gets outscored by 8 points per 100 possessions in the bubble, the Lineup of Dame/CJ/Trent/Melo/Nurk outscores opponents by 16 points per 100 possessions, so Collins is without a doubt a huge weak spot on our team, the Blazers are better without him than with him. He needs to come of the bench. Or Maybe we should Start Dame/CJ/Melo/Nurk/Whiteside and Collins as Center of the bench, it's just obvious that he is a Center and not a power forward, and we get motivated Whiteside as a Starter

    Yeah I agree. I'm a Collins fan but he needs to be earning a role as he did last year.

    A big counterpoint to your change is maybe we want to hold off on this change as Lakers are the one team we need Collins at PF the most to defend Davis.

    C'mon Riverman. He is in the bubble at Disney world. There are bottles of water everywhere. Have you actually watched some of those fishing videos the players are posting? They are fishing in the canals that are at the RESORT. They have been giving him Fluids for 5 days because he went fishing?

    I voted yes, but it would really depend on their plan aNd how things are at the moda?

    a normal game, normal conditions, but with pandemic? No.
    But I assume they would have safety measure in place for the most part. So i voted yes.

    but i would vote no if they develop a virtual headset for me to watch at home as if im in my seat.
