    Nah. I expect Cleveland to get a big lead to start off the game and not look back.

    I expect Cleveland to have about 15 more ft attempts than Boston in game3 and that anytime Boston makes a run the refs will try to put an end to it.

    I'll knock Love all I want.
    His father is a grade A douchebag and Love is an entitled bitch because of it.

    Seems some might have prematurely written Houston off.. I think this one could go 6 or 7 games. It will be interesting to see what Houston can do at GS.

    Since when is a players, (or anyones for that matter) father's character, a pre requisite to be a professional or solid person.
    Some of the most talented and nicest people I know had pop's that were a holes, or they had no father at all.

    Lots of people who went to school with K-Love have posted over the years that they can't stand the guy. I don't really care. If it helps the Blazers, get him. When he was a stat whore on the Wolves I didn't want him period, but I do think Love has matured and become a more willing role player than in his TimberWolves days. I'll say again: If it helps the team, get him.

    In addition....people do change from when they were in high school.....Maybe KLove has matured? I have no idea other than what I see during his interviews, and he seems to have matured since his UCLA days. Maybe some of the criticism has humbled him.

    Having said that he will be 30 before next season, I think I would stick with Collins.

    Love is old and injury prone. I'd stick with Collins as well.

    But Collins has shown flashes, Love is actually a proven player. Like him or not, he’s a proven commodity with a ring, if you can have Love and Collins, Love could actually help Collins become a better player.

    Still a Portlander at heart. Lives here in the off-season and never wanted to be traded from the Blazers. Happy birthday, big guy.

    It’s not like Love rode the bench to it though he was playing, has experience being on that stage has seen what it takes to get there (Lebrons work ethic), and right now Love is better than Collins. Not that Collins can’t get there.
