    Bulls are two games behind (above?) Cleveland in the tank standings to get higher odds for the #1 pick.

    This makes sense.

    Tom Haberstroh on 620 right now says that the Blazers absolutely should be starting Collins the rest of the year and through the playoffs; likens it to the Celtics last season with Hayward and then Kyrie's injuries.

    I voted start Meyers, with Collins off the bench to cover for Kanter's "defense".

    If I were a betting man, I'd bet Kanter starts.

    Of course I'm going to continue to support the Blazers. Even though tonight is going to be depressing, I will watch every game.

    :cheers:

    we need Enes to step it up defensively. Stay in the paint, protect the rim, not to go with his man wherever

    That's right. We've been through worse, and we're still standing.

    Well, sitting mostly. But my point stands!

    Kanter will start till Terry realizes it’s a horrible idea, which will be when we get eliminated from the playoffs.

    Yeah. "We're doomed as doomed can be, you know." (/SNL)

    But the team needs us now more than ever!

    Allez Les Blazers!!

    That's very optimistic.

    My prediction is next December.

    Wasn't it a foot to knee shot?

    Carroll gave Dame the Draymond Green treatment. Well he tried. Dame's knee was in the way.

    That should have been a flagrant foul, IMO. No way was that a normal basketball motion in that instance.

    This is really funny, because it's a sad truth. I do think this is one of the reasons Kanter was brought in though so I don't really have a problem with him getting the first shot at it.
