The Kawhi and Zu pick and roll chemistry on both sides is truly beautiful

Kawhi--27 minutes with 2:39 still left in the 3rd

Lou Will on fire

Lou bringing some game again tonight, solid performances all around.

Some of those offensive fouls on screens, the guard going early baits their own big into committing them

Lou eating Temple for dinner

The communication with Zu still isn’t all the way there. Lou is going a few times before Zu is even set as if Zu is setting a fake screen like Harrell use to and just roll

Zu tried to set up but Lou was already taking off

Lou just walking to the rim, haha, can’t guard him young man

That got bad quick for the Bulls

Another good game from Lou Will. We all know he's not getting traded. All good with me as long as we have alternate rotations and sets if the second unit struggles on offense during the post season

I think Ty has been saving Scoring Machine Lou as a Plan B and trying to fashion a more traditional 5 as Plan A
Kawhi-Lou-Senior-Zu-Mann worked ok and will bring more consistent results than living and dying on Lou being hot or cold

Mann also getting minutes with the first unit--27 minutes so far and a team-best plus+20

Kawhi and Batum back out there with Lou-Senior-Mann and a 17-point lead???

If Morris Sr. plays anything like this from here on out who's going to stop us?

our 3rd-highest paid player gotta take his place up front

Mann has added another piece to the rotation that gives the team more versatility, good to see.

Nice to see Lou with some consecutive good games. Jackson also did a solid job with the starters, and Kennard is still scared to play basketball and shoot the ball.

His 3PT shooting is back to how he was shooting with the Knicks last season which he did for 43 games, if he keeps that up, it will be interesting to have him as that level of a knockdown shooter

I'm hoping this is the turning point for Mann. His defense has stepped up big time (Pat Bev said that's he constantly on him), and he's not making as many bad decisions as he used to. I remember the same thing happened with Eric Bledsoe. He was in the doghouse, then Baron got injured so VDN had no choice but to play him, and then Bled got good, and fast... Let's hope the same thing happens with Mann.
