    Can’t wait to see how Collins plays tonight without Kanter in the lineup. This is his chance to get some serious minutes and prove that he can fill Kanter’s shoes. Expecting good things from Zach tonight.

    I hope so but due to history, it wouldn't be surprising to see Leonard in the 2nd unit to match up with Gasol.

    Gasol is starting so it will be Ibaka in the second unit. I think we will see both at some point tonight. Is ET playing tonight?

    Not if they don’t let him play.

    Collins came up big in a high pressure big time game over all in my opinion. Hos defense and passing was great tonight in the second half.

    Collins brought some energy to the 2nd unit in the 2nd half. Had nice block and protected the key and rim well. Gasol should had offense foul when clear space with his forearm. Just as to get stronger because he has all the tools to be really good on both ends.

    Zach had some quality minutes tonight. His time on the court was key. He will continue to get those minutes I believe. He just needs to keep focused, and work on his game. I know he will. He's young. But I think he's made of the right stuff.
