Zach Collins is ready

[Mr. Robot]

its hate, youre doing it right know

 

[Blazinaway]

Vonleh and Collins will be fine for the PF spot. We are actually starting to look good at that position. SF is a serious problem though.

SF is an issue but length is as well, we have short guards and you saw what the Bucks le

Stop using this word out of context. Truly. No one hates you and people that say negative things aren't haters.

If you suck as a poster and someone gives you their blunt honesty, It's not hating. It's giving an opinion.

+1, "hate" here is over used just like "fake news" is

 

[Sarni]

If he builds on his recent form we will finally have something to get excited about going forward. I want us to have a Portland equivalent of Booker, Turner, Mitchell etc. a young player who was not a top 5 pick but turned out pretty awesome.

Looks like everyone showed up except for dame

Wait what? Dame had 39...

You don't know the definition. Stop.

stop hating

I'm starting to feel that you've never actually felt what hate actually feels like... no one who has would ever throw it around as freely as you do, joking or not.

you are doing it to the Nurk all the time
stop arguing with me

I know it's hard to accept with a player like Lillard leading this team but the Blazers need realize that even at our best we are not going to come close to competing deep in the playoffs much less a title. But with that said it's time to get some serious run for Collins. He gets better each time and with more minutes. He need to start next to Nurk with Aminu at the 3. I actually liked that he had to deal with West tonight because that is exactly the experience he needs. And for that matter I'd like to see Swanigan get some consistent run too. Let's get the guys some legit experience to make good decisions at the end of the year.

I think the plan has always been to showcase our vets with expiring contracts to start the season. Get whatever second round picks we can at the deadline from some playoff needy teams and then let the rooks finish off the season. Now if we're like a top 3 or 4 team in the west maybe we keep on to the vets but if we're in the bottom of 8 I think we'll see it play out like I said.

That literally makes no sense because

1) Thats your opinion

and

2) You don't fully read anything. you have a myopic, confirmation bias viewpoint on any negativity even when people put positives in the same sentence.

Learn what real hate is, then stop throwing around the word freely.

 

[Mr. Robot]

you need to stop saying: "that makes no sense" lol

 

[Labinot41]

Zach could get his first career start today, and maybe some minutes for Swanigan

Hell yeah bring on the Collins Era baby!!

My bad, Ive just had a lot of times where people write things that make no sense logically. I'm just doing my civic duty to help you out.

 

[noknobs]

Hell yeah bring on the Collins Era baby!!

Maybe at PF, but at C it's definitely the Nurkic era.

I don't disagree with that--figured Collins was starting at 4 haha

Hater.

Derived from the word "PlayaHata".

A playhata is one who ACTIVELY says bad things about someone in an EFFORT to get with their lady.

Don't hate the Playa. Hate the Game!

 

[chzbrgr]

am I the only one who's doesnt like his matchup with Whiteside if he starts? Seems like Whiteseide is one of the 3-4 bigs in the league I'd be worried about matching up with Collins right now. Not saying he is better than all the centers in the league minus a handful, just saying I dont like the matchup strength wise. I could see him getting in foul trouble real quick trying to keep Whiteside at bay.

Is he going to foul him on the bench while he's wearing a suit? I mean, I know Collins is trying to make a name for himself, but dont do it to an injured guy in a suit.

Thank you for posting this.

When I called Allen Crabbe 1-dimensional, I was called a Crabbe hater.

When I say Westbrook costs his team close games by freezing out his teammates and resorting to hero ball in the 4th quarter of close games, I get labeled a Westbrook hater.

I neither case does it have anything to do with hate. I am just sharing my opinions based on what I have observed. And, in neither case was I trying to make Crabbe or Westbrook look bad so I could get with their ladies.

That part actually made me laugh. Like some forum nerd is going to get with an NBA player's woman by saying, shit babe, I know he an NBA player and make $20 million a year, but DAMN girl, he so selfish and 1-dimensional!

BNM

That footwork he showed on that one bucket got me wet.

TREMENDOUS footwork. That brought be out of my recliner.

I want a replay of it, it was beautiful.

I’m ok with the misses he had too. They were all good shots in the rhythm of the offense and he didn’t hesitate to take them.

His length really shows up on the boards. Him and Nurk should be a force together. I also love how he understand verticality.

Some of the fouls he gets called for though? Wtf? For example, his fourth tonight. He gets elbowed in the face and gets called for a foul. Lol whatever.

 

[Mediocre Man]

So much more enjoyable watching Collins than Meyers. He's almost always in the right spot defensively and he can get a shot off before I walk the dog around the block.

He's not a 5 though, which isn't a negative comment

Is this the one you're talking about?

 

[Labinot41]

You can see one day he can be a elite Rim protector. He has good coordination can Run the floor well, very good mobility. Good lateral quickness for a 7ft and a high bball Iq for a rookie. But right now, it's better when he starts at the 4 next to Nurk. You can see he is very nervous wich is normal for a rookie. With nurkic on his side that would give Him more confidence. He is mobile and quick enoug to guard at the 4. He and Nurkic would give the Blazers great length and great rim protection. So Stotts do that Twin Tower lineup please!

 

[Scalma]

Is this the one you're talking about?

Yeah that’s it, thanks.

It’s not just the footwork, it’s the patience. That’s not common with young bigs. A lot of other guys would’ve just barreled into Richardson there.

 

[Labinot41]

And on offense he understands the game, has good post moves and Range. I am worried a bit because of his free throw shooting looks weird but the rest looks pretty good

 

[rotary111]

Waiting for the defense to react to his spin and then going to the other side of the rim.

BBIQ.
