Starting Thon Maker? Intention or nonintentional tank?

Brown very active making things happen to start.
Kennard balling.
Snell invisible.
Griffin moving like he's a post-knee replacement 65-year old.
Thon Maker getting his lunch handed to him by Capela.

So we go away from Kennard the rest of the game? Seems like how it usually goes.

Wow Griffin can't finish a happy meal right now...

Luckily Kennard is stepping up big time.

Griffin is out for the second half due to knee soreness. Given how he looked, I wouldn't be surprised if he's out for a few weeks or more.

Part of me thinks Griffin sat the 2nd half to protect his ego, not his knee.

Blake is untradeable at this point. He went from a guy we could get a nice rebuilding package for at the deadline last year to franchise crippler in a matter of months.

Bruce Brown was the player of the game. Great defense on Harden and he was very active on offense.

Didn't get to see this one... Was curious about the spacing with Dre out.
Was there more driving lanes tonight or just better shooting?

Dude is just a gamer who will find a way. We need more of these guys. Bruce at PG has been a blessing for his development.

Gotta say we looked to have a better flow and even our team defense looked better. DRose was immense.

The Bench is very good the starters suck. Wood is better than Drummond.
