Glad I was able to catch this game. What an amazing game. Hopefully this does something for Kennard's confidence. If he can play even 50% of what he did today going forward, that would be huge.

Marcus put up a very quiet 19 as well--5 for 8 from distance.

I thought Mann had a ceiling but that's be obliterated! He's a star in the making

Managed to catch the last 8 minutes. What an ending, great job Kennard and Mann. Great D at the end as well.

I hate to bring this up but can you imaging Doc in that 3rd quarter when we were down 22? His only move would be taking Zu out and put Lou Will in.

Nah, his best case scenario is probably Marcus Smart. Not that it's bad thing, I would love a Marcus Smart type player on my team.

Facts.. also Kawhi bringing us home to seal the win at the end. I've been waiting for that from him for a while now. Great to see!

Give props to Ty Lue as well. Ballsy move right there and you had to respect it no matter what the outcome was. Put some respect on his name!!

Amazing win that was beautiful. A month of inconsistency and Lue made the swap. Probably didn’t see a comeback but it worked

He pulled the old Phil Jackson move and benched all 5 guys at once

If Kennard and Mann continue to grow then Kawhi and PG life will be so much easier. Trying to depend on both of these two for scoring all game long, especially PG, is tiring. With Kennard, Mann, Morris, and company ballin' then its a cinch for Kawhi to come in and close the game out like he did. That's how it was in Toronto, alot of heavy lifting from Siakim, Lowery, and company and Kawhi delivers the finishing daggers at the end to seal the victory. Now we have something to build upon.

Starters looked so discouraged because it was the same damn thing happening again and no way to stop it. That’s why you can’t be afraid to change it up

That whole entire scene was played out. It was like going to the same club or bar every weekend and seeing the same people and same females. Something new had to emerge out of the dust storm. Its one game though but maybe this is the revelation we and the team in general has been waiting for. Something new and different had to happen with this team. Crazy that it took a massive benching to find this out. Still only one game though. Lets build from it

Wow best game I've seen ever with this team! Wow!

Here is my projected lineups moving forward:

Reggie (Pat)
Kawhi
PG
Morris
Zu

2nd team:
Luke Kennard
T Mann
Batum
Patterson
(Either Zu or Kawhi)

Lou Will is out of the lineup. He has checked out.

Reggie is very close to being benched for T Mann as well. Such a fantastic game from everyone besides PG, Lou and Reggie.

Nothing bad to say, we have to continue this. But Ty Lue deserves a lot of credit for the total lineup change.

He may have saved our season.

Starters looked good out the game it’s just like some cloud came over them and everything went to hell fast

Don't let this game distract from the fact that Paul George continues to be an absolute awful player and deserves all the blame for how bad this game and season has looked at times. A truly disastrous player.
