Who's going to see Judas Priest tonight at the memorial coliseum?

No one commenting on word that Collins may start?

I like Collins, but am not sure how that would make anything better? I guess if you move Aminu to the three and they both shoot their open threes it might work. It would also let Nurk and Collins switch coverage on PnR situations with Davis. Maybe it would work. Collins would certainly learn a lot from it. I still don't see it happening though.

Anything that gets ET and his lack of threat shooting off the court at the start is probably good. I guess that means you bring in Collins or Napier until Harkless is ready.

Without Harkless, you'd better get used to Turner.
 
Wouldn't be surprised to see Baldwin get more burn that Bazz usually gets

I'm honestly not so sure. After reading some of the expert analysis it does seem like having the wings be able to hit from three might be the primary help to taking pressure of Dame and CJ. As long as ET is on the court that won't happen. Harkless is the obvious and best solution, but if he isn't ready to go, I would argue that any of Pat, Napier, Baldwin or Collins (with Aminu at the 3) would be better for the starting unit.
 
And going to wear my autographed Harkless jersey for the game if he is in the lineup.

What is a inflammation ?

Can't tell if you are serious or not. Docs said earlier that Harkless wouldn't play if he had any swelling before the game on testing. Swelling would be due to an inflammatory response or from excess fluid in the joint, which would also be a sign of an inflammatory response--the body saying he isn't ready.
 
It's going to be interesting to see the starting lineup.

Thank you
 
I feel like tonight will be a different night. Don’t know for sure but I feel like we will handle them easily. Feels like the type of game we fire on all cylinders though my feeling could definitely be wrong.

@Labinot41 is writing from another country. English is his second, third or maybe even fourth language. It was an honest question.
 
My left knee is really killing me tonight. This has to mean no Mo.

He's German.
 
I felt nervous before the first game. I feel confident going into this game.
