I would've kept feeding Mann. Even Kawhi isn't finishing right now

This team is absolutely hopeless in any clutch situation. Really hard to see how we even win a playoff series like this.

It was right there for the taking.

Kawhi with the missed bunnies and turnovers really hurt

Granted the team is tired as hell but, just a couple of breaks with some of these easy missed shots and making at least a couple of the WIDE open 3's they missed, they win the game

PG is injured/washed up or a combination of both. Kawhi can't close out games anymore. Morris is hit or miss. Kennard won't step up and demand the ball. Reggie is a fill in-stop gap player. Patterson needs to retire.

F*ck it, might be time to usher in the Mann-Zu era early.

That’s a tough loss and the team was so close. We need Rondo to suit up

Sucks we lost but I'm not too upset. Rest up until Sunday.

The guys that were hurt played like they were hurt and everyone else played like they were hoping for their second wind

These days off before Sunday couldn't have come at a better time. And the Nuggets at full strength should've blown the Clippers out with how terribly the Clippers played. I still like our chances against this team if they meet in the playoffs. Zu has Jokic number

bc Kawhi has to carry this team on his back since PG is absolute garbage every game. Are you for real man?

No, he's just a mediocre player at best and a huge choke artist. Good thing our amazing front office signed him to a $190 million contract after that brilliant playoff performance he had last year!

Sad thing is, I could easily see them losing to the Lakers anyway and seeing the same excuses about "fatigue" and "injuries."

Another just horrendous game.

Two positives. Terrence Mann who needs to be STARTING and in the PG SPOT (not Reggie) and is playing exceptional. A franchise player.
Kawhi Leonard who carried this team on his back in every which ay. Another game where absolutely no one is doing anything and he is forced to play ISO's from the 3rd quarter to the 4th.

Paul George cannot do anything. I am sick of mentioning the same **** over and over again. He would have had 4 TO's without lucky bounces and is NOT A POINT GUARD. His shot is awful, he refuses to take contact and had obviously those 3 missed lay ups. Morris needs to have his spot offensively bc PG is awful and makes Morris practically invisible.

Why is T Mann not starting over Reggie? This is an absolute joke.

Kennard continues to look tremendously inconsistent. IF he's not looking to shoot he is useless on the court.

I am sick of PG. We are a first round exit. He's either not healthy, washed or both.

If we lose to the Lakers the season is over.

He's a bad player. You cannot construct a winning team with him making max money. I don't care if he has LeBron James and Steph Curry as his teammates, he is a garbage player.

well that's nitpicking isn't it :lol:

we actually won the 3rd [21-19] and 4th quarters [24-20]
but once again we are trying to stitch together a team on the fly

again I point the finger at Marcus--2-9 shooting, 8 points 4 rebs 0 assists and 2 TOs in 30 minutes
you just gotta get more from your 3rd highest-paid player :-(

Marcus and Kennard [1-5, 2 points in 15 minutes] play scared

well done again on T-Mann
and overall, the defense was excellent in the 2nd half, no easy baskets
even Kennard

PG looked bad but still managed 17-8-5
at least he made the scorekeeper work a bit

I addressed PG, do you not read? Kawhi missed a lot of chippies down the stretch against Orlando and Denver. He's got to bring us home in one of those games. I still believe in him though.

At this point, the only explanation is that we have ANOTHER bad coach who plays favorites. This whole Reggie obsession has been going on all season. It's this year's version of Doc refusing to play Zu over Trez.

LamarWho · Post #79 » by **LamarWho** » Fri Apr 2, 2021 5:03 am

I know people here love to **** on PG, but honestly Kawhi hasn't been clutch at all this season. I am curious to see 4th quarter scoring average to see where he ranks.

Lets not act like Reggie hasn't had some good games as of late. At least he's suiting up and busting his azz. Pat Bev is at $15 million a year. And what's taking Rondo so long to make his debut? You're rippin' a guy that's a fill in the roster player who was supposed to be at the end of the bench this year.

And yep, Mann's ballin' and Ty Lue now has to take his role a step further as he keeps breaking through a new ceiling almost every game. Yes he needs to be a starter.
