    No you weren't. It wasn't a question. It was a suggestion:

    Go Blazers! No doubt ESPN is going to be sucking Ball off this entire game. If he plays.

    No....they'll suck him off even if he doesn't play.

    He's not playing tonight. If Biggie has a big game tonight, they'll talk A LOT about him. Hopefully, he will.

    Ah, I wasn't aware of that, thank you. But I still say they'll find a way to make this game about Ball. The Blazers never get any respect from ESPN.

    Or maybe I'm thinking of TNT?

    You weren't being a fan by bitching about are lottery pick because he's white and American.

    He was great defensively, but you didn't admit that, even though you keep bringing up Jordan Bell every time he plays decent defense.
    Instead, you took his offense from 2.5 games, and started complaining, and even though you didn't say it, you were doing so "I told you so" manner.
    However, Collins offense is better when playing off of good NBA guards like Dame and CJ, instead of dudes like R.J. and Jorge. Because those guys don't draw attention, Collins wasn't able to get open shots by playing off them. Therefore, since he wants to prove himself, he started forcing, which isn't his game.

    Collins offensive struggles is based off who he is playing next to, and his defense is great. However, you're still bitching about him because he's white and American. That's not "being a fan".

    It's not because of the Blazers, it's because of the 350 lb. 7th grader turned NBA summer league MVP is too good a story for them to ignore.

    Sucks that Collins can't play. We could use him. I think the team has looked world's better once Pat was taken out as the PG.

    (You see Neil. So you can just leave bis bags in from of the MGM Casino and pick up Stokes contact. Right?)

    He's better going to Europe. The Orioles are a dumpster fire and his chances of making a starting rotation in the majors suck. I can see him pitching in Rochester till he becomes Crash Davis-esque. Being a perennial minor leaguer sucks.
