Going up strong should be what they do all the time.

 

[Darkwebs]

CJ putting 3 Lakers on a poster!

 

[Strenuus]

I see you, CJ.

 

[BrianFromWA]

so he's not perfect...had a little Jarrett Jack in his step there...

But CJ was late getting him the pass on the initial pop. Good for him to see it finally, though

 

[AFully22]

Zach Collins gets bodied by bigger bigs. I do not want to see Collins starting at Center this year. Prolly for 2-3 years.

This team ain’t doin shit this year anyways, might as well give him the minutes and let him develop.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Holy Hell, CJ. That was straight Stevon Urqelle right there.

Getting man handled by Mason Plumlee isn't going to develop anyone.

 

[BrianFromWA]

that's what I'm talking 'bout, Lamar. They wanna go small and run? Go big and pound them into the paint.

 

[julius]

Heard someone yell "ball don't lie"

 

[BlazerBeav]

Such a bad call - only contact was Kuzma tripping Collins.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

lol we're gonna blow it , as usual

 

[Strenuus]

Zach has the attitude

Nurk does not.

 

[AFully22]

Getting man handled by Mason Plumlee isn't going to develop anyone.

Getting major minutes in the NBA will though.

 

[Strenuus]

CJ jesus...

 

[A$AP Meyers]

CJ just not hitting the big shots lately.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Zach got pulled down from behind LOL. Get hot, big fella. Take it out on someone.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Three straight possessions up five with the ball and came up empty.

 

[GrandJury]

Collins is so sexy.

??

 

[riverman]

CJ is not feeding the hot hand...he's bricked 3 possessions in a row...give the shot to Harkless!

 

[BrianFromWA]

By the way, Bogut has 26 points this season. THIS SEASON. You don't need to guard him 15' out.

 

[GrandJury]

Three straight possessions up five with the ball and came up empty.

We been a terrible closing team all season

We would suck so bad in the playoffs if we make it somehow

 

[julius]

I remember a time when it felt unusual to see a CJ shoot and missing.

Now it almost feels like it's unusual to see him make an outside shot.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

CJ and Nurk are a combined 8/29, is that good?

 

[Darkwebs]

 

[Strenuus]

??

Sorry, in your vernacular... he's nice.

 

[Strenuus]

By the way, Bogut has 26 points this season. THIS SEASON. You don't need to guard him 15' out.

Yet nurk kept doing that.

 

[H.C.]

Getting major minutes in the NBA will though.

Not if you're getting destroyed by bigger bigs. He couldn't stay out of foul trouble against the Nuggets who only have 1 talented big. Rest of them are just bigger than Collins and he fouled a lot.
Now he's playing against the Lakers, basically a bunch of college kids and he looks to be able to play against them when strength doesn't play a factor.

This is really common basketball stuff.

 

[julius]

I feel a tank a comin', comin' round the bend...

 

[HailBlazers]

AND 1

 

[BlazerBeav]

Great drive Christian James!
