Hard not to like a win against Dwight Howard's team.

Decent game so far.

Not a nice end to the half though and shows just how much improvement Kawhi still has. He still isn't a great ballhandler when pressured and his decision making when doubled is still inexperienced.

Missing lots of easy shots inside.

Aldridge's shot selection 30 games in has not been great. It's as if he thinks he won't get the ball again so sometimes as soon as he gets it, he launches. Then other times he is too tentative, constantly pump faking wide open shots then ending up shooting them when guarded and missing badly.

I'm done with Danny Green. He can go.

Every time he puts the ball on the floor, it's either a turnover or leads to a late shot clock attempt or putting a teammate under pressure.

He is useless.

Don't know what we were doing on that last possession. Pretty crappy game all around.

I hear you on Danny Green but we invested enough in him that we need to figure it out. We can't just dump him. If anyone can straighten him out its this staff and players. He has killed many of my Fanduel teams this year so I'm as frustrated as anyone :D

Gotta give props to Houston. They played good D, especially in the 3rd quarter, plus Bev did an outstanding job on Parker.

Danny was pretty bad I agree, but it's too soon to count him out.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

Definitely not our best performance. Houston did play some great defense but we also just took way too long to get into our sets.

Simmons looked bad at times but it's nice to see him pushing himself into difficult situations.
