If we can get this one, the stink of the Mavs game will have totally faded away for me. But this feels like it could be a well fought, 50/50 game.

The stench left for me after the Blazer blow out tbh...but this is going to be a long season. I expect blow outs galore until mid February

Very slow start

We look awful so far. Mavs game part 2.

I'm sure Playoff P will try to use New Year's as an excuse for this performance, though.

Our guard defense needs to pick up

PG does know we need him to score right? How many more kick outs is he going to do?

How do you not chase the ball after a deflection? They look sleepy out there

I'm just counting down the days until we can trade him, honestly.

The lack of intensity on the defensive glass is reminsicent of the Dallas game. We just can't get a shot to go in, like that game as well, but unlike it, they've been contested tonight while that morning were wide open looks

Games like this and Dallas expose Lue as the uninspiring Doc clone he truly is. There are no adjustments when chucking threes doesn't work.

Can’t even lie the refs are keeping us in this one

Defense picking up

Lue riding heavy with the starters so far

It’s not that serious when he’s playing better than Kawhi at the moment

I don't get the PG hate right now, yeah, he's been missing everything but he's been pesky on D and has been keeping us in the match imo

There's generally a bias when it comes to analyzing PG and Kawhi, seems like people are very willing to throw PG under the bus, but to excuse Kawhi, or shift the blame to something else. Players have bad games, doesn't mean they are trash every time the shot isn't falling, it is going to happen. PG is playing fine for a poor shooting night. He has 6 FT's, he's got 5 steals. The whole thing we want players to do when the shot isn't falling is to contribute in other ways, and he's done that.

Dude...

Not the best way to finish but still a game to win

Will be interesting to see if the players can hold up if the starters continue big minutes. They are one day off after a back 2 back. Kennard needs to just shoot it
