At least Tony is having a good game

What is up with Pop's rotations? Marco and Cory looked great in the first half and neither played at all in the third.

Winning is hard when you shoot 33% from the field.

Everyone outside of Marco and Tiago struggled and once again Tony was garbage on the defensive end.

Mills injured or is Pop trying to light a fire by getting him to fight for minutes?

I have no idea what's going on there. Pop's rotation didn't make a whole lot of sense last night.

It's that time of the season where Pop just tries all kind of different lineups before settling into a permanent rotation after the allstar break.

Atleast Joseph had a right to get minutes considering how well he's been playing all season long. He even played well in this game. Mills got some minutes but didn't have much of an impact.

If I had to complain about rotations, why did Baynes start over Splitter? If today was the playoffs, I'm sure if Splitter doesn't start, then Diaw will. Only way Baynes starts is if one of them is injured.

And as good as Marco was offensively, that basket at the end of game by James Johnson when he was posting up Marco was huge. Marco is an awful defensive player. Danny might not be shooting well, but he's 10x the defensive player Marco is.

Anyways, Parker really needs to start getting on a rhythm. He looks healthy enough. It's not like he's hobbling out there or anything. To me he looks like he still has his speed. In my opinion, he's just not aggresive enough. In his prime, Parker is always on attack mode. Now he's on attack mode only sometimes. With Danny and Kawhi starting to become more versatile putting the ball on the floor etc on offense, Parker seems content to being simply a floor general ala Steve Nash type when he's at his best attacking the rim constantly. I don't know, but that's what I'm seeing. When he decides to get aggresive, he still does. So it doesn't look like he's unable to do it because of anything.

And I'd like to see Kawhi start looking for contact more. He just settles for way too many midrange jumpers. I see him as a guy that should be getting atleast 6 FTA per game.
