It took that long to even find another net to begin with? What the heck, have your essential supplies handy.

Garza trying to stay with Duren is good comedy.

We play the longest games in the league. Fouls, techs, things breaking… man I got other stuff to do, fellas.

Ron was not expecting Jenkins to flare there. Glad it worked out.

Not complaining since we have the lead, but after JD got in foul trouble, and after his great play last game, I thought Paul would get some playing time.

I’ve been crapping on JD for his decision-making, but … 12/13 from the line is impressive.

And 30/33 as a team as well.

Ron’s the euro master. Passing needs some work, though.

True... A Ginobili-like who's even faster would be great. And he's already great at going to the hole and scoring with those tough angles.

And two open 3's were bricked. He can score going to the hoop. Maybe next year. But for now, I'd like to see him go to the hole, or at least shoot the mid-range.

That's a moving screen if it's Duren.

Derrick White thinking it’s OK to just wrap up Cade off ball and fall over when he moves. Get outta here with that crap.

Interesting that JB is going with Green over Robinson in crunch time due to his better defense.

It’s a win. But yuck. We need a lot of work. Thank goodness Boston can’t rebound.

Very fortunate to be 2-1, truly.

Lots to sort out.

Monster games from Jalen Duren and Ausar in this one.

24/17/2 Blks for Duren
21/12/2 Stls for Ausar
18/8/4 Ast for Tobias was solid as well

Holland had some great hustle/energy once again but 0-4 from deep with 3 TOs. I can understand why he isn't get getting those crunch time minutes.

Starters played heavy minutes and we have a game against Cleveland tomorrow.

We either shoot a lot better or we’re gonna get cooked. Can’t just assault those guys on the offensive glass like we just did with Boston.

Cleveland plays tonight, so the heavy minutes won't be much of a factor for tomorrow's game.

One things for certain, can't come out sloppy against the Cavs.
