We need a bounce back game after that disaster on Monday. Hopefully Kawhi returns for this one, we need him badly.

We need to get off to a strong start on the offensive end in this one.

Go Spurs!!

So Kawhi will play tonight.

Aldridge... 20/10 game please.

Don't know how many time's I've asked for this from him so far...

Well, Tony, Davis, Dedmon, Green were all better than that Memphis game, especially shooting the basketball. Kawhi was Kawhi, Aldridge was meh.

i've said we're a 40-45 win team without Kawhi... I take that back. We are indubitably sub .500 without Kawhi.

The difference Kawhi makes is scary, if we would of been without him again last night I think there's a very good chance that we would dropped that one.

The good from this one:

- Kawhi - He was a monster on both as always 11/11 from line and he scored in a variety of ways. I love how easy he makes off the dribble 3's look.

- Dedmon - Hopefully he keeps this up and makes Pops make a difficult decision about who starts at center once Pau is healthy. I just love what he does on the defensive end.

- Bertans - He made some mistakes in this one but he bailed us out big time in the 3rd when we were falling apart.

- Green - Hit some important shots and made some nice plays on the defensive end.

The bad:

- Our intensity level - This game should of been a 20 point blowout but we let them hang around and even let them get within 2 late in the game. I really really dislike the way we always seem to lose our edge against lesser teams and I hate to point fingers but a lot of it starts with LMA and Tony. Both of them are very guilty of letting off the gas peddle when we're up.

- LMA - C'mon man your better than this.

- The bench for the most part - Bertans and Manu were solid but everyone else had a down night. This game was a great opportunity for the bench mob to go off instead Stauskas and Saric took it to them.

I can understand that their intensity level wasn't as high as we'd like it to be. Old veterans, a bunch of rookies. 2nd game on your road trip. Sounds as if they're just pacing themselves, especially when they're about to play 3 games in 4 nights.

Aldridge has disappointed me yet again.
