Problems tonight : Lin,Lowry,Nurse,Powell...
Nah my nikka just Nurse. All Nurse. What we know about Lin and Powell is they only play well when they’re not counted on to orchestrate but Nurse keeps putting them in that position. Meanwhile we have Gasol who can orchestrate an offence and we don’t utilize him properly at all. Horrible coaching.

Honestly games like tonight make me realize it dont matter if Kawhi walks...He needs a certain tyoe of team to be successful as a 1A...

If you taking games off you cant be a non factor in these type of games...

I know he had 26 but i bet his plus minus was close to 0

I just think Gasol is a bad fit on this team....

Dude is slow and misses key rebounds for a guy his size

I mean mostly how were using him is a bad fit...Were not catering to his strengths.Like if were gonna have him come off the bench tonight we have to feature him as a scorer alot more,we cant JUST be using him as a passer for drives by Norm and Lin,thats how we become impotent and everyone gets -30s...Norm and Lin arent reliable to force the 2nd unit offense with them...

We have to get Gasol more than 6 shots which is what he had tonight..We should be working him out of the post as a scorer and run the offense off that...

Nurse is really dropping the ball on this....i watch tonight and i do get concerned about this team in high leverage moments in the playoffs,Nurse doesnt seem to have a pulse on whats going on and whats not working and the other thing im concerned about is our lack of identity or system...I couldnt tell you what we are,were just a collection of talent with no clear identity..

Were not a lockdown physical defensive team or have a clearly defined offensive system...I dont know what we are...

Last thing about this game Nurse didnt get Siakam enough touches....We should have been hunting those 1 on 1 matchups with him on Harden much more than we did...

@Miggs you're hitting all the right points in your analysis. Everything I’m thinking as a well.

Such a sloppy game has really come to define this team,whats our identity on offense bruh ? We do all sorts of different things to varying degrees of success,dont seem to run anything consistently and dont have a system in place that we go too to get buckets when were cold like other teams do....

Our go to system is give Kawhi the ball and let him drive...We abandon everything else...

We were awful in the first half,we locked them down defensively in the 3rd starting trapping forcing turnovers into buckets,then we abandoned that and went back to lazy shytty defense in the 4th...Its nothing for me to not know but this coach doesnt know ...i re watched the game and i realized ur right Lin and Norm were bad but theyre bad because Nurse is running bad 2nd unit plays that are setting up failure....

I cant blame Norm for missing corner 3s,i do blame Nurse for running sets where thats the final shot...
