Too many glasses of wine after work.

Good thing this was on in the middle of the night.

I find it weird AF that we can make these super quick comebacks within like 2-3 possessions. I used to think that was Warrior-3 Pointer **** but we’ve done it the last 2 games.

Great clutch bucket by Kawhi.
Great 2nd half by Lou.

It was a dumb strat to double Harden. He can actually kill you harder by doubling him. Just have one of Kawhi, PG13, or Harkless play him straight up.

So when's Harden getting fined for flopping on damn near every play for the entire game?

You can't have our stars guarding that fraud of a star one on one. He would get them into foul trouble with his stupid ass ref baiting play. You WANT Westbrook shooting as much as possible.

^ Best way to sum it up. Sometimes we let teams with superstar guards poop all over our chests like Booker and Jrue. But this was a win against the most lethal guard in the nba + WB, something we've been having a lot of difficulty dealing with.

Seriously though, wth are we going to do about all these TOs throughout the games? I don't think this stress for the rest of the season is good for long term health. I didn't think that Lou Williams being our only PG was going to be an issue.. but it kinda is. This team has the potential to be better than the warriors, who blew teams out by 20 consistently on a nightly basis. Once we figure things out, that'll be the first sign.


For one, the team has only had one practice I believe. This is just a new team learning one another. Secondly, remember Shamet is another ball handler that handles some PG duties. The key is, winning games we wouldn't normally win. That's the sign of a great team. Playing bad and still pulling out wins. It's a marathon


Pulling out tough wins out of the mud is definitely a good sign. Especially when we've literally been having such historically bad offensive performances (23 TOs, etc) and still coming out. I've never seen anything like it on such a consistent basis. You're also right... I completely forgot about Landry! :o

You're right though, chemistry is a real thing and it's going to take some time but it's a marathon so that's fine. Sometimes I forget these guys literally have not played with their full starting 5 yet (assuming Landry is part of that starter group).
