T-Mann with the spark!

that's weird

lue puts mann in over morris and everyone starts moving around on defense, the ball starts moving around on offense, and the team starts grabbing a bunch of boards

how's that work? anyone know?

Mann also most comfortable when he doesn't have a JOB
stealth assassin

this is why they were begging for Westbook
or ANYBODY to take the job of running the show

Westbrook is a team-best plus+12

we don't care about your triple-doubles
just don't F*** it up Russ

I'm just happy to see T-Mann get some solid +/- numbers out there.

this is me just "fan-alyzing" if i were to make up the term, but pg always seems a lot more inspired on defense when he doesn't have to constantly cover for weakspots like morris.

but the difference is Westbrook so far
not bleeding points

LMFAO

guys what do you think has a better plus minus

diet coke or diet pepsi?

just kidding that's a trick. diet pepsi is trash, so is plus minus, and the only thing worse than either of those is marcus morris.

depends on how you're used

but it's ALWAYS better than having a bad plus/minus :wink:

Did Lue just say s*** on tv or was it shh?

Things run so much better when we can play 5 on 5. With Morris out there, we are 4 on 5 at both ends.

Watching Westbrook's speed and aggressiveness made me realize something. This is the best collection of defenders Russ has played with. I think PG and Kawhi are going to help elevate Russ's defense.

Unless you're Austin Rivers. Then being a -3 on average for your career is everyone else's fault. :lol:

Marcus ate up 23 minutes with little harm [2-4, plus/minus = 0]

Batum [14 min so far] in now for the 4th quarter

Ty actually does have a plan you know ;-)

When Paul is in the flow he is silky smooth.

He tries to do too much. That's why he pushed for Westbrook. PG was still the best point guard on the team before getting Russ. Mann couldn't play it and neither can Powell.

Great defense on that last play!
