Just end the game with Bones-Coffey-Mann-RoCo-Diabete.

Let everyone rest for tomorrow

I honestly forgot Moussa, Preston and Boston Jr were on the team.

Eh it happens but we better beat the Pelicans now

Can't wait for Kawhi to only play one half tomorrow to equal one full game played for this back to back

We were getting by with what Larry Brown called "scatterass" in the win and in zooming out to the big lead tonight, but you can't hit 59% from three like we did in the win. 32% tonight, and 37% from the field. But you can't win without spirit either and that has been sorely lacking this year--and maybe missing for years.

Back to earth vs the Pels tomorrow, but hopefully some of this good feeling will stick. This is supposed to be fun, and it seems like there's always been a cloud looming even in the good times.

There was a nice sense of release these last two games, and since Russ and Bones got here. Fresh air. Onward.

Another game ruined by Lue's beloved four-guard lineup. Also love how he rewarded RoCo's effort last game with a whopping three first-half minutes. I'm running out of ways to express how sick I am of this coach.

I have zero confidence whatsoever in beating the Pelicans tomorrow. We always **** the bed against them. This team is going to be stuck in the play-ins once again and it's 100% on Lue and the front office.

If he were 3-4” taller he could be an NBA starter. Instead he’s a workmanlike journeyman, completely unspectacular but pretty solid.

It is what it is…I think few of us expected him to play both nights, so 1.5 is still okay. The main thing is we got the first game the other night, otherwise the board would be a lot more somber.

I didn’t watch the game and I didn’t expect much from our team. I did expect a revengeful Grizzlies team so I wasn’t really surprised. I did get nervous when I saw the box score with Kawhi only logging in 18 minutes. Glad I didn’t see a “Kawhi exits the game with………” thread.”

So I guess we're not supposed to mention that Batum was crap again [zero points, 3 rebs] after playing 31 minutes 2 games ago and RoCo scored 2 points in 20 minutes. Or that teacher's pet Mann was 1-7 for a minus-18.

It's all Ty's fault. ;-)

I was able to watch the 1st quarter before heading out. Besides couple of dumb TOs by Russ, the team played amazing on both ends. When we were up by 20 I was thinking, this kind of quick start only means we are going to collapse later...... Anyways expecting another blowout loss tomorrow at Nola. A 1-2 road trip was better than I expected.

Clippers org has showed X a lot of respect, giving him a courtesy 2-way deal at the end of the last 2 seasons. You're right--in baseball, Moon would be known as a AAAA player: top of the minors, bottom of the bigs.
