the first team is more balanced with Batum and Ibaka, let's be honest

getting Marcus and Zubac more comfort comes at a cost and increases the load on KL and PG too

If Morris is a starter then we're trying to see if he can string together consecutive good games or not. Ty Lue had to make the move as Batum hasn't been hitting shots consistently nor playing good defense as a starter. Zu and Ibaka is always a toss up as you'll never know who will play better or who will even show up for that matter

Ty Lue like screw it im not playing any of you three (Lou/Luke/Reggie)

Kawhi is gonna have to be WAY better if we're gonna pull this one out

Yeah. This is a loss. Can’t buy a 3 and string together enough stops.

Refs not gonna call a foul on Dallas on drives?

oh I agree completely but if Marcus starts I don't think Zu can too--already carrying Beverley who freeloads on offense [but makes up for it on D]

BTW, Marcus is 5-13 and 1-8 from distance but at least he's firing away

Under 70 points going into the 4th is not going to win you any games in this league

Kawhi is always testing his teammates--he carried them on Sunday but doing it every night teaches them nothing

F*ck a test, we need his azz to go for 30-40 points on some of these nights. That's what superstars suppose to do!

Can’t hang onto any momentum.

No offense and too much Luka

Would nice to win 2 in a row, dont remember the last time that was.

Sucks so bad we can’t string together wins
