GAME #36: LAC (20-15) @ WOLVES (17-17)—MON 1/6 5 PM

And why is Kawhi not playing in the 4th? I understand the minute restriction, but you need to manage his mins in a smarter way.

Brian Sieman mentioned last night that Lue spoke before the game that Leonard wouldn’t be closing for now. No timetable on how his minutes restriction would adjust, etc…

If he's not going to play in the 4th fine but they need to work out his minutes better so he’s there in the 3rd.

We're a play-in team at best if Lue doesn't pull his head out of his ass and stop playing KPJ. I'm so tired of always having a coach who makes the worst player on the team his favorite and refuses to ever make even the lowest-hanging-fruit adjustments.

KPJ had 7 points, 6 rebs and 7 assists for a plus+8 in only 19 minutes. All the starters were in the red. Bamba got his second straight DNP-CD.

Once again this guy gets the special treatment that no superstar has ever seen in the history of this league. Going home in the middle of a game to rest his back, playing the 1st half and load manage in the 2nd half, etc. But hey at least he's not street clothes.
