Morris can’t even catch the ball.

defense sure looks easier when you aren't consistently losing your guy at the POA

so lue of course brings morris back in

Free throws are going to burn us again. But had a nice close to the half

I have no idea what I'm watching. We're still a pickup team.

Even when Kawhi dominates [17 points] he doesn't dominate the way dominating players dominate. It's so weird. He's the stealth dominator. Always has been. Always working the seams, like a slot receiver you look up and he has 9 catches for 150 yards.

Strangely enough Westbrook is a team-leading plus+4. His only task on this team is to not end up in the minus. That triple-double stuff [quadruple-double if you count the turnovers :lol:

] does not amount to wins.

Need to take it to Siakam and Vanvleet. 3 fouls each

Thank goodness for Leonard. Will it be enough?

Nice mid range by Zu!

If they can only could find their pace.

When they find their tempo, everything's easy. Too fast = sloppy, too slow = eaten alive by younger, more athletic teams.

It's the familiarity thing. You can't coach it, you can't fake it.

Nasty Zu. Whew.

Westbrook-to-Zubac!!

This is only their 2nd or 3rd game together
could be something there...

toronto choosing to attack the strong side with kawhi/pg/zubac while morris stood there doing literally nothing, and then closing out on westbrook at the 3 point line seems about as tactically dumb as you can get

This team is allergic to leads.

Westbrook has good chemistry with Plumlee too.

Can't wait for Morris to fluke into making a couple of the shots he chucks up in the 4th and further entrench Lue into these awful rotations. :roll:

Nice response out of the TO.
