Gianns and Damian are questionable. Taking a road game would be a huge deal; it would start our 8 game (!) road trip off with two wins.

Catch a little break tonight. Bobby Portis has been suspended 25 games for violating the anti-drug policy.

If Coffey starts... I'm trying to imagine a Dunn/BogBog/Simmons/Batum/Zubanks offense that's not just Bogi chucking... hopefully the rotation will work on a non-"units" basis.

I don't care about facing opposing teams 'at their best' (but of course not wishing injuries on anyone.)

We are really well positioned to kill 3 birds with one stone the rest of the way-
1. Finish 4th seed and get a home series
2. Finish about Houston and keep our 1st round pick (instead of swap with OKC)
3. Finish above the Lakers

We just need to be fortunate with health, especially Kawhi of course.

2nd Unit of Simmons at PG, w/ BogBog/DJJ/Batum/Zubanks is fun in a Midwest slug-fest kinda way.

Interesting game

Be another good game for Ben to get in tune. Should be a win.

Dunn vs. Dame should be fun and Giannis vs Ben

Got the KPJ factor to see.. hopefully he tries to do too much :P

Bogi is 5/2/3/2 stl in 7 minutes

already more productive than Mann was in a week

and Simmons is 2/3/3

add in DJJ, Coffey and Batum
it'll take a little time but I think Ty can whip this into a rotation

these guys produce

Leonard came down badly. He was wincing. F Trent for pushing hm in he air.

Harden dribbling the air out of the ball. Come on man.

KPJ revenge game of course.

Bogi is a gem. Please stay healthy too.

Terrible 4th qtr.Kawhi, Harden cant beat anyone off the dribble. This lineup is terrible. Without Norm, we dont have another player to beat someone off the dribble. Coffey with terrible fouls.

They really need to stop rewarding Lillard with that crap he pulls. It's not basketball

They really should keep leaving Prince open in the quarter.

Awful game to lose. Had multiple leads just to lose them with stupid play. :banghead:

Harden/Kawhi sucked. They ruined this game. Ball hogs and couldnt get their own shot

and this is after along break with some practices. This team is a play in team at best. Just awful

Lillard, 2 for 12 from the field, 15 points. Such a f'n joke. The fouls he gets are ridiculous, especially when he's just jumping into defenders coming off screens

Can’t wait for Bogi and Simmons to be off minutes restriction. It’ll keep a certain someone out of the rotation if everyone is healthy.

I genuinely cannot wait to move on from them. We have a team built for 2015 in 2025.

Crappy game by Harden. Kawhi remains a major concern. The team MVP is Powell. Hope he’s ok

Kawhi neutralized our most effective scorer(ZU) in the 4th. His "spots" are killer for Zu to have any type of offensive touch.

I Just want kawhi off from this team offseason.

Yes, no leadership in the crunch. Kawhi had a great 3rd quarter but then stepped back. I think he tests his teammates instead of covering for them, at least in the RS.
