Good win, but this team plays so sloppy and TOs are just heavy (20). I used to like to blame PG for these type of things but the fact is since the chiropractor has been at the helm the team seems to lead the league in TOs. Lue saying they need to clean stuff up isn't going to change anything. They need to run plays constantly, it seems like they just play pickup ball out there sometimes. The passing is errant and the hands are butter fingers when catching them. I just want to see them consistently be under 10 TOs a game so they don't need to make 15+ 3s to compensate.

Impressive win over GSW .. a bit surprised to be honest ; )

Nice to see Mann, Batum play elevated -- need a bit more of that.

Norm needs to clean up his 4th quarter turnovers. He's not good driving into traffic. He's gotta come of screens with or without the ball. That's where he's most effective. That was a bonehead turnover that could have sent this into OT.

If Curry got his pass to Waters as he intended to, this would've been OT most likely and another brutal loss after being up big. Thank goodness GP2 intercepted.

I'll take the win! Need to keep the home momentum going!

I thought it was kind of amazing they played so well at that insane pace. They don't even know each other yet but beat 10-2 GSW at their own game. [Although pretty much the best lineup was Beard-Zu-Powell-Coffey-Mann, not coincidentally the main returnees from last year.]

Good win on a back to back. Mann thrives when the game is uptempo. Harden, Batum, and Norm balled out. Orlando is next and they're on a six game winning streak.

When things are chaotic. And the GSW game was scatterass on both sides so Mann had his best game of the year.

Very good point. James like things slow and deliberate, like CP3 did. And Norman does everything that James' pace wants and T-Mann doesn't do. Burst to the basket, shoot the 3 without hesitation.

Mann was the 5th wheel playing alongside Kawhi and PG and whoever, but they did prefer more tempo and Mann could hang. But that was than and this is now. The GSW game was out of control on both sides [though fabulously entertaining] though I'm not sure how often Terance Time is gonna crop up, especially against the good teams.
