The offensive rebound was KD's fault. He needs to stop shot watching and box out.

This team is so frustrating. San Antonio legit waves the white flag - brings in their 3rd unit - and we still give them life. If they focus for 2 possessions when it's a 20 point game, we can bring in our bench and relax. Now it's still within striking distance.

BTW Shamet is playing with some sort of injury. Like a thigh contusion. He's been kind of limping around all night.

It takes awhile because Covid weakens you, but it looks like he's BACK.


Having the MVP setting him up also helps! :nod:

Remember, guys, Nic was an ASYMPTOMATIC positive COVID test. He said he felt no ill effects, he just had to stay quarantined, so not being allowed to train or work out affected his conditioning.

Also yeah, Claxton's game is so much more deadly with the court vision of Harden setting up his chances.

Missed 6 weeks comes back 18 points 11 assists 8 boards in 23 minutes. Could have had 15 to 17 assists easily

Mike James is making his case man. The guy is a solid back up for Harden.

That's great news. I was afraid that he tested positive but I'm glad he was asymptomatic.

James Harden is about to get this young man paid.

I'm going to be blunt, I am glad Kyrie didn't play tonight. He needs to rest, and Ramadan ends tomorrow evening.

Same with Joe. Harris has been awful as of late and I think he's fatigued. If we can somehow maintain the 2 seed while giving these guys some time to refuel we will be better for it.

Ramadan actually ended tonight!

But yes those guys needed rest.

That week off as the 2 seed will be invaluable to get everyone rested and to heal their bodies.

Also whatever is ailing Shamet didn't effect him tonight. That was his best game in about a month.

Kyrie will be back next game. They held him out for precautionary reasons. We may be fully healthy for the first team this season. (Or close enough)

I had no idea today was the 12th. I've had to head into the office for the first time in ages and my mind is shot :lol:

Kyrie probably ate like a pig tonight.
