Pelicans lost last night, need to create some separation

[Bobbymcgee]

Clippers need to start showing up in the first quarter. They ended up beating the Blazers the last game by a decent amount but still lost the first quarter to them.

Some welcomed news.

What’s Harden taking the technical ft for?

Dominating start and they can still play better.

Leonard on one too.

[KL2]

Tucker out rest of the game with calf tightness.

Get Leonard out. Flexing that left wrist again.

fire Ty

Now Theis hurt too. Doesn’t look serious but still.

Some nice passing with PG and Mann. Lots of give and goes featuring Mann too. Not a great look for the 3rd stringers in 4th quarter. They literally can't all be on the floor at the same time. Offensively they are TOs and nonexistent on defense. Luckily it didn't mean anything, good win anyways. Finally a 2 game win streak! It's been ages since they've had 3 in a row. Please avoid the matinee let down!

Easy win. These last two games were a chance to learn how to play basketball as a team again. Gotta carry it forward to real opponents. It’s a start.

[LamarWho]

Scrimmage games are in the books. Time to get back to the real world.

Exactly my feeling about 3rd stringers and why they can't score.

You can stick a 3rd stringer in with a bunch of rotation guys, and generally they will try their best to fit into the team scheme on both ends. But a whole squad of them inevitably looks like a bunch of headless chickens LOL.

skipped the end but this is why you just can't "put the kids in" even with a huge lead

they gave away the better part of a 19 point lead in less than 5 minutes, and it wasn't just kids, it was Plumlee-Coffey-Bones-Boston-Moon
