Time to get Ibaka on the floor, maybe tonight?
Gordon Hayward/Cody Martln/Miles Bridges OUT for Hornets
Ibaka/Coffey OUT (?) for Clippers
Vegas believes - 8 point favorites.
I predict Paul George has less than 6 turnovers, probably back to his normal 2-3.
As Clubber Lang would say, "My prediction - PAIN"

The fact that this is "normal" is disturbing. Are you predicting 2 or 3 assists to go along with it as is normal?
We're really waiting till the postseason to play Ibaka? I don't know about that. He'll take so much time getting into the swing of things he could be costing us a lot of damage. Hopefully he plays AT LEAST this weekend 8-10 minutes.
Last tough opponent of the season, would be an excellent opportunity to put TMann on LaMelo.

Get Leonard back in there. He was making the right plays.
Sit George. He’s not even close this game. Shots, passing, energy, defense, whatever.

Some of the ugliest misses and passes. I don’t even know what to say.
Hopefully Lue has the magic words at half to wake this team up.

From Lob City to now Turnover City.
Can we please get Mann and Kennard some minutes. Not sure about this supposed post season rotation

That 2nd quarter was just brutal to watch, careless TOs and tons of bricks on good looks.
Gotta regroup and play much much better in the 3rd.

Does this team know how to DRIVE? Instead of settling for bad jump shots. Some of these guys need to have their playoff spots threatened by the younger guys to light a fire under their ass.

Bev is cooked. Time for his minutes to be dispersed to other players

Let’s hope for a turnaround in the second half

They're just feeling a self-imposed pressure--they should be blowing these guys out so they're hot-dogging. I said it months ago and Ty's saying it now--it's harder to be good than it is to be great. Greatness comes from being good, from being smart and solid. Then the "greatness" takes care of itself.
As they say, genius is not some special kind of intelligence--it's just having a lot more of it than the other guy. Same with "greatness." We're as good as any other team, but not really any better than the best.
If we win this thing it'll be because we played smarter and we played harder, nothing more. [Or less.]

Our 2 all stars have not looked dominant for quite some time now. Would love to see some T-Mann in the 2nd half.

The agenda is to get the playoff rotation used to working together, and that's Boogie and Rondo and Bev. And working Reggie back into the 2nd unit since Ty doesn't like Bev and Rondo together it seems. Which also means getting Rondo, Cousins and Reggie to jell into a unit with Batum.
It is not about winning this game [at least not trying until the end of the 4th quarter] or working in the 9th man, T-Mann. [Or Kennard, the 10th.]
We have precious little time to get the 8/9-man rotation together on the fly--and of course there's the Ibaka question to boot.
