We got no help last night. Team has to win out.

I thought Leonard would sit tonight. By sitting tomorrow that will give him 4 days off before Houston (I’m assuming he sits against SA).

We can sit Kawai now and play him tomorrow in the FH. Dallas is too weak to play Kawai the entire game

Law Murray hinting with Leonard’s minutes rotation change in the first half and his stint likely over now could open the door for him to play tomorrow night.

Leonard back so I doubt he plays tomorrow.

Back out again. I think they’re trying to save him for tomorrow. Interesting.

Bogi en fuego.

My goodness. Bogi behind the back to Eubanks dunk. Nasty.

Eubanks blocking Jones. Sheesh.

ALL business tonight. No slacking, no jerking around.

This has always been Kawhi's team from the time he demanded a co-star but he has never owned it. He's owning it. And everybody follows.

Kawhi played only 24 minutes but shot 17 times tough. Still like 80% load is there. Sit him please no need risk. I know Dallas with AD is 6-1 but we will have games to recover even If we lose tomorrow.

Another solid win

should be able to win tomorrow too if no Kawhi

An easter egg from recent games (the last 8 since 3/21 vs Grizz)? Kris Dunn has been hitting his threes.

Very workmanlike game. Kind of game I like to see at this point in the season. Not really in question by the half, and we kept them down.

Good to see Eubanks get some run and be moderately effective. If we can get 10-12 decent minutes out of him ... all of a sudden, we run 11 deep.

Zu-Kawhi-Harden-Powell-DJJ

Dunn-Bogi-Coffey-Simmons-Batum-Eubanks

With players missing games (Simmons) for whatever reason, that kind of depth is make or break for a deep playoff run. Basically, if Kawhi can stay healthy, and we get Harden and Powell in good shape for 90% of the post season, we can do some damage.

47.5%/44.1%. Great call.

Yes, they're leaving him wide-open and he has to make them pay. It's YUGE. Even 33% is equivalent to 50% on twos, so as long as he doesn't crater, we're gold.

Right. Keep them honest, and will boost the offense. The Clips Bruce Bowen at guard.

Good professional win. The core was good as usual. Drew "Put some respect on my name" Eubanks had to have heard all the slander about keeping him over Kai. He needs to keep that same mentality for the rest of the season. And was that a Pat Baldwin Jr. sighting last night? A young player that can catch n shoot, knows his game, and took advantage of an opportunity? Say it isn't so!
