That was some clutch defense at the end.

Luv to see it.

Meaningful win. These are the kind that can galvanize the team going into the tougher ones lying ahead. Great game !!

This is a big road win against a good team. Zu and Norm had great games. Harden was quiet but turned it on at the right time in the 4th.

I am concerned about our backups at the 5. Bamba has been disappointing to say the least. Kai Jones is not ready. If Zu gets hurt we need to lean on Batum which isn't ideal.

Great road victory. Big game by Zubac. Overcame some strange officiating tonight too.

Damn right. Hideous. Bamba had 4 fouls and was minus-14 in only 6 minutes? That's like geometrically impossible when the next worst was only minus-2. That's why Zu had to play 40 minutes, which was only possible because of all this time off. He can't take this kind of a workload once they're back playing every other day.

And Batum went 28 minutes today. At 35, he needs to be at 20 mpg or below if he's gonna be a factor in the playoffs. It was a great win but Ty had to burn the candle down bigtime to get it.

FO is no doubt shopping hard for bigs but we have zip, nada, doodah to offer. But something's gotta give.

they do have expiring contracts and perhaps should be willing to trade Mann if the right deal comes along

Yeah Backup C hasn't been an area of improvement.. be interesting to see what might be done.

Big win. Big 3 of Harden, Norm, and Zu with huge contributions. 15 steals to Grizz' 8 was important. Zu with 4 of them himself.

Gotta keep finding ways to win and hope that Kawhi comes back soon.
