Game Thread GAME# 63: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - MARCH 3, 2018 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

Small sample size with ed and collins, and there is a difference between starting a game and closing it. Ed would not set the right tone at the beginning of a game (cuz he can't really score) and Collins is a rook.

I think I get what you are saying....but Davis can't really score at any time and Collins is still a rook in the 4th quarter, right?

Yeah the out of bounds was a total makeup call for that awful goaltending call.

I thought that was a horrible call as well but it actually ended up being the right call. Talkin Ball slowed that replay down and you see the ball grazed off the very bottom of the the backboard ever so slightly and came back out before Collins then blocked it off the backboard. It was very difficult to see at normal speed but they actually got that one right....even though it was a great play by Zach.

To those people

Don't make me sign up for Twitter just to follow Nurk

I wanted him when he was a Laker because he was the one guy on that team who gave a shit and made our lives hell.

I listened to a lot of laker games on my commute home when he was a laker and the broadcast team would say as much.

I do not for one second think the morons on talking ball got that right, but whatever makes them sleep at night.

This is where I’d prefer robot refs because humans are garbage.

Why can't Zach start with Biggie being the backup eventually?

This.
Trade Aminu+ for a SF.
PFs are Zach / Biggie / Ed
Cs are Nurk / Ed / Zach
SFs are [unknown] / Turner / Pat

True, but the situation called for those two playing at the end of the game. Ed Davis is an energy guy who provides a spark mid-game, and as encouraging as collins' play was, there's a great chance that he's not gonna play well the next game (inexperience).
