I am probably reading too much into it, but with how easily it seemed to dislocate it may very well not be his first...

Zach said he has never had this happen to him and that it was a weird experience. They asked him that in the interview that they had with him shortly after the game.

good game, great comeback. presuming their rebuild continues going this well, Dallas has a great young core and should be very scary ~3 seasons from now.

for anyone that's interested, last night's game was broadcast in 3D/VR for free* via Oculus Venues.
(*free = in exchange for Facebook mining all of your personal data).
obviously not a replacement for seeing the game in-person, but other than not being able to drink easily, it's a cool gimmick. not worth buying an Oculus Go or something equivalent for, but worth checking out if you already have a VR headset or were on the fence about buying one. they're also broadcasting the Nets game on November 8th:

I get it that Tolliver has replaced Leonard as the target of fans irrational criticism. I don't join in with the irrational crowd.

I believe Tolliver if called upon, will do a solid job. He can't replace Collins, but he will play well. He has played only sparingly so far with lineups that haven't moved the ball or otherwise played good basketball. This wouldn't be an issue if he was playing with the starters.

What is your reasoning for this assumption/feeling?

He's not a rookie. We signed him to do what he has done for 12 years. He can defend bigs, shoot, and pass. He can't defend or protect the rim as well as Collins does, but he will take and make open shots.

We could also go with Mario or Skal. I think Tolliver will be easier for Lillard, CJ, Whiteside, and Hood to adjust to because he is more predictable. Tolliver has made a career out of understanding and executing what is expected of him. Just in this last game CJ passed to a wide open Mario at the 3-point line and instead of taking the shot Mario passed the ball and the play ended in a turnover. CJ was expecting Mario to shoot, but Mario didn't make the right play. Tolliver would have shot the ball and CJ doesn't have to worry that he won't make the right play.
