    Play them in the first half, not in the 2nd. Greek Freak would eat the best of the best NBA defender alive, if they were exhausted.

    I would have tried Harkless on him, but the simple fact is he’s a great player who played the best game of his career. It likely wouldn’t have mattered who Stotts put on him. The Blazers lost because of two blown possessions, one by CJ and one by Nurk. Playing Swanigan or Collins wouldn’t have been likely to change that.

    I have a feeling that Giannis will have a lot of "career games" this season. He's just now scratching his potential.

    Dude is 22 right? DAMN! Just watched the game against the Cavs and he posted up and scored on lebron a couple times! When he gets his midrange J down, he'll be at an even higher level.

    He might not develop a midrange J. This is his 5th season in the league already :)
