    Here’s the next predictable move. The second unit will be Curry Turner hood Meyers and Zach.

    Of course it will be, I don't get why you'd get worked up over that when you know it's coming.

    That would be a very good move actually. He gives us as good a chance of winning as anyone else, or better, and he needs the experience.

    Throw the young man to the Wolves. Errr...I mean Bulls.

    This is the worst starting lineup in NBA history

    Nards/Zach sounds slightly better than Kanter/Chief, but not much. I’m getting really sick of Droopy Dog and his decisions.

    Just watch, Kanter will go 20/20 against these massive scrubs and Terry will let him chase those stats the rest of the year against NBA players. Fuck

    Honestly, Nurks minutes should mainly go to Zach. Kanter is a back up big and he can be valuable when you need him. but you might as well trot my broken down fat butt out there on defense, I could also watch the other team get layups.

    This is worst case scenario imo, we are gonna throttle a bunch of D leaguers and then come out Friday flat as fuck and a bit overconfident.

    I get it, Kanter sucks at defense. I'm not going to be pissed off about a decision before seeing the results first. It's not like the 2nd unit has been playing great most games anyway. They have been pretty much dependent on Curry getting hot. Our 2nd unit isn't some super force that needs to stick together. We can always bring Kanter out early for Collins if defense is needed and bring Kanter back in with the 2nd unit.

    As you probably know, games like this are so hard to get up for. Not that it's an excuse or anything if they lose because they absolutely should win but I hate games like this. The excitement just isn't there like it would be against normal teams.

    I argued for Collins too, because I wanted to see him play with the starter. But unless you are going to change a couple of the other starters, they really do need some offense in the unit as well. The first half of the last couple first quarters.....has been painful to watch...even with Nurk.
    (It was 15-7 last game)
    Collins will still plenty of minutes.

    Yeah and Im sure as a team Portland will be very off for a while. I expect them to win, but theres a lot mentally going on for them too.

    If foul trouble isn't an issue, Collins needs to average at least 24 minutes a game over the last 9 games.

    Unless Skal looks real bad, I think they should stick him in at times too, see what he does in game, maybe he meshes well with a couple guys. Unfortunately not a lot of time to experiment and they still need to try to keep up with houston.

    Getting a home court seed is more important now than ever.

    Lineup to win, baby!
