Time to find that next gear. I think this team has got another good run (that hopefully extends into the postseason), the question is if the recent torpor will have woken them up. Fingers crossed.

We need to start beating teams like OKC, NO and Minnesota on a regular basis. No excuses. Play hard for a full 48 minutes. If Lue needs to tinker with adjustments then now is the time. PG needs to show why he's still an all star.
Go Clippers!!

Glad Powell shook that off

Fun game so far

Looked like all ball, but angles can deceive

Giddey is such an odd man out with all the shooting OKC has. These guys make shots.

Need more than Leonard and Powell to score.

Some questionable defense at times too.

Zu, PG, and Mann are having nightmares at the rim tonight.

Wild that Westbrook has gone his whole career without learning how to pace himself, just still drives wildly at the basket, it's funny sometimes

SGA is such a tough guard, turned Powell around

I assume we’re trying to rest Leonard in game by not having him guard SGA? He’s the only one who has had any success against him tonight.

Mann can’t finish at the rim.

How many times has the rim blocked Russ?

3rd quarter disaster

Russ getting stuffed by the bottom of the rim multiple times

Thunder's energy had been great on defense disrupting plays, even if the were some possible fouls, but that happens.

Getting away from us.

How many missed shots at the rim? And the bloody turnovers

At this point, I don't think there's a single team I have any confidence against come playoff time. Maybe the Kings, that's about it. Frank needs to be fired for trading a decade's worth of assets away for an old, slow team with no size.

It's pretty wild isn't it?

Russ knows nothing about the slow step, needs a whole off season to learn to be Kyle Anderson on offense lol

I have very little confidence in this team when Leonard is on the bench.

PG and Harden need to wake up and make things happen.

HardenGoat · Post #18 » by **HardenGoat** » Fri Feb 23, 2024 2:54 am

Harden should get a green light to shoot. I understand the plan but PG can’t hit the ocean from a boat this game

Harden has the green light to do whatever he wants. OKC is doubling him on pick as roll to prevent switches or him getting downhill and to force the pass to make others a creator (eg: Coffey).

PG with a great great game. Exactly the kind of output we're expecting from an All Star. Simply great.
