Kawhi just going through the motions here in the first half

2-7 4 points 3 fouls minus-9 [team worst]

it's how he rolls
he'll turn it on in the second half

well that didn't take long
9-0 run to open the 3rd

Westbrook's improved jumper could be a game changer for us

KAT is doing nothing but racking up fouls, too. I have a feeling he's going to be the next Gobert who a poorly-run team makes a panic trade for and then regrets it immediately.

Damn and people say Westbrook is a vampire?

Mann + Batum = 29 minutes 2 pts :-(

Wait, do you get an automatic ejection for throwing one at your OWN teammate? :lol:

We've all know about inefficient scorers/chuckers on bad teams, we seem to have the opposite problem with some of our guys. Efficient non-scorers (I'm thinking mainly about Terance and Luke.)

If you guys lose you play kings in first round right?

Only if the Wolves win. Otherwise we'll be in the play-in.

why, in the world, are you guys trying to win with your starters to play the suns and push the warriors to us

Because it's not a given we would play you, if we lose this game we could end up in the play-in instead (if Pelicans beat Minnesota.)

Sitting the starters would have been way too much of a risk when we'd still need the Wolves to win to keep us from falling into the play-in, and they're also playing at the same time (so scoreboard-watching doesn't really work).

Classic example of vulturing. The entire season just dumping on Mann, but God forbid someone else talks about a player they feel is doing pathetic in a game.
