The lightning violent dunk was amazing.

This team has more close game wins than last year. Definitely see some growth in their ability to close out a game.... I think Giannis development and Jrue being Jrue are the difference, and some growth from Donte.

[har13]

Giannis is definitely hurt.

[Coach Carter]

Good win. Lonnie Walker is a good one for the Spurs

I said we should pick him over donte

[jschligs]

Giannis is definitely hurt.

Could’ve swore I saw him go the locker room at one point tonight.

just your observation from watching, or did he say something?

Let Jrue and to a lesser degree Khris initiate the offense more, and let Freak finish it. His mid-range stuff looks better when he doesn't hesitate. Get Gianni used to most mid-range, post, roaming the paint instead of the top-key stuff.

We're probably not but it'd be cool if we were holding our Giannis off ball stuff until the games that actually matter. Feel like we were starting to do more of it awhile ago but then stopped.

Couldn’t watch the game today, and I see only a small sample size in the box score. But how did Tucker look? How did we use him on offence?

I missed his first half minutes.

In the second half he showed active hands on D and missed one corner 3 on offense. It was a really short time to see much.

[Coach Carter]

Still undefeated in the Rodion Kurucs era.

And in the post DJ era

Tucker moves well if he was 50. 1 shot from the corner was a pancake. I wasn't a fan of the trade. Trades give hope that the new acquisition may be a missing piece but I just don't see it. He may take minutes from better players. I hope I'm wrong.

I got tired just writing this.

He had 1 offensive rebound and 1 strip that they counted as a block. He didn't really do anything noteworthy. I guess his defense looked good if you ignore the 2 times he totally fell asleep and gave up a layup and wide open corner 3.

[slappyg]

On a positive note, Jrue is looking much better! He was really looking off for a while after he came back.

[coolhandluke121]

All I was looking for from Tucker is mobility and that seemed okay. Big relief. Everything else will be just a bonus.

Khris is always a bit of a slug in the middle of the regular season grind, even when he has a good shooting game. He's just not blessed with a good motor, but they will give him some rest towards the end of the season. Not too worried about him.

Jrue needs to be aggressive like this. He will often have the easiest match-up because of the defensive attention directed at Giannis and Khris. Having a #3 option like that is a nightmare for opposing defenses, and two of them are all-world defenders besides. It's nuts.

I see why some people don't like DDV. I'm not saying they're right, because they're clearly wrong if the goal is winning, but I do see why. It was on full display today. He was plenty good but he had several of those random DDV bad plays that some people seem to think should count double or triple just because of how they look.

Brook kinda sucks and Forbes is what I would imagine George Costanza would have been if he could have somehow turned himself into an NBA basketball player, right down to the physique.

Just observation, he was holding his left knee and went to locker room and never looked the same again, he was trying not to jump especially on D, plus the way Bud used him, every time we had a good lead he was sitting him.

He looked like one of our top defenders . he was a beast, moves a lot quicker than middleton and can fight through screens. also very quick hands

hopefully it's just a bruise like others have insinuated
