Yep. Anyone with frsh legs in the 2nd half would have been useful tonight. Just a brutal 2nd half. (We really missed Gallo, Rondo, Dunn, Okongwu tonight.)

I loved seeing Clint grabbing rebounds left and right in the paint against bigger guys.

That game was ours for the taking. We got cocky and stopped moving the ball around on those consecutive one in one plays by Bogi, then Trae and other seem to stop moving the ball.

Deandre Hunter wants to be a top 3 offensive guy on his team, I initially thought he was an elite 3D and a bit more but he wants to really be baby Kawhi and his confidence is high.

Let’s get the Knicks tomorrow night!

We will learn to win the back to backs.

First, this game had other problems, and should have been won even with a bad day for Hill.
Now, he was better than I thought on the previous games, so it's not that bad, but on this game, the major problem of the team came with him on the floor as they went -15pts in only 10min with him, especially going from 70-61 to 74-76 between the last minutes of 3rd quarter to 3 minutes played in 4th
All the starters got positive +/-, even if they screwed it after Hill was on the bench for the last minutes of the game.

What I see here if they need more margin to not depend on one guy being in a bad day (O FG made, 1rbd and 4PF), or check if any player is not betting at the half against his own team were they are favorite in Vegas :-)
