    Hopefully Collins. It's time to throw him out there and see how much he could help our offense.

    Why not? At this point what exactly could it hurt? I'm all for giving Vonleh some time to get going also.

    I have not been impressed by him at all in the time he's been out there. I've seen him just blow assignments, get confused, get blown by, etc. Luckily those can be things he can get better at.


    ............. Unless he's Meyers Leonard part 2. That's a horror film in it of itself.

    After last night and seeing his number i decided Donovan Mitchell must be the next ROY. I might have to change that vote after watching Ball tonight. Then of course when we play Simmons i might have to change that vote again and so on and so on and so on......

    Ben Simmons has that wrapped up . Small sample size, but he is for real.

    It was a shady joke about players having All-Star numbers against the Blazers recently.

    I don't gamble and this always confuses me......so are we favored to win by 7.5 tonight?

    As far as the game goes, I don't think Dame allows us to lose tonight. Big bounce back game from CJ and we win easily. Lakers have some talent, but no go to guy yet.

    yeah..they have no super star, so to speak, but they play consistent by comity. If I was a betting man, I would take the flake show and the points tonight.

    I hate the TNT announcers. I like our announcers, but the I watched many a Supersonic game when I lived in Washington prior to 2004.

    I won't be surprised if Ball has a really good scoring game.
