    I like the idea but there are also other ways to highlight, such as Stotts making sure every interview includes a portion highlighting Collins as a Defensive god or DPOY candidate .... , Stotts should take a tech getting pissed at how Collins is treated, and so should Lillard. Lillard is an NBA darling, and if Lillard smartly inserted himself (not just lashing out at refs but just adding a bit of doubt and backing Collins as a defensive beast) I think that could do more than the challenge. I think all these and more strategies could work together. But if it's only designed to embarrass the refs, they will find a way to get even. Collins won't win from that alone. Collins needs a league-wide rep as a monster defender and then the refs will give respect.

    Collins had 5 assists last night on only 2 TOs - makes him very dangerous when he plays with Whiteside.

    I think you have your answer and just 3 games into the season.

    Lol. This thread aged well so far. :)

    Since I started this thread, Stotts did it once, he didn't do it and we consequently won the second time on a last minute challenge, and Collins dislocated his shoulder. In the three games the refs didn't really seem to limit his playing time.

    *shrug* Life is strange.

    The idea what reasonable, but yesterday was a good example why you should not waste the challenge in the first half
