I can't think of a single thing he does well. I would rather have Norm play lead guard over him, he's terrible. His contract is guaranteed after January. They can't have five point guards on the roster, they need to waive him before then and get another big man. If one of JV and Ibaka is out and we have to rely on Siakam, Boucher and Monroe, then they're in big trouble.


I would have kept Kay Felder over him,i dont understand our FO love affair with him on the big team...even at full strength hes in uniform on the bench,i dont get it....

Also i do notice a swag about this team in that they know theyre good and they know when theyre in control of the game...last night you could see them turning it on and off...They jumped out to a 22-6 lead then in the second qtr you could see them taking plays off...allowed shots didnt close out,offense stopped playing....It felt like they knew Minnesota couldnt win this game and they were giving themselves a breather during the game.

happened again in the 4th quarter,we marched back to a 15 point lead then we stopped playing before basically taking control of the game in the last 2-3 mins...

It felt like theyre are sections of games against teams like MIN where we were coasting cuz we dont feel threatened about the outcome....

Sounds weird being just 5 games in but this team definitely has a confidence esp at home that we cant lose...
Good observation. I’ve noticed this as well. It almost seems like they’re waiting for real competition.

Watching highlights it’s amazing to see just how clearly Kawhi has been the best player on the floor in almost every game so far.

I didn’t realize dude was this good.

When Boston was here you didnt see it,they were playing hard for almost every possession and really dominated most of the 4th qtr.

Against lesser teams they know they dont have to kill themselves,4th quarter last night really looked like a lion playing with a baby impala before killing it...They were up 12-15 they rested allowed Minny back to within 5-6 then Kawhi ended it....

Kawhi is so automatic 1 on 1 in space they cant NOT execute late game...were either gonna have wide open jumpers or Kawhi scoring down low...

Hell give you a chance and if you don’t have it well then

Delon didn’t have it yesterday benched for the rest of the game



Bench had a nice little spurt he kept them

Minus kawhi and Kyle if you don’t have it sit down

Apparently Delon's thigh was still bothering him. Nurse reacts to changes quick and that's a good thing. He saw that Norm had problems defending Jimmy and brought Kawhi back quick. But I like that Norm is finally getting back to form, maybe he just needed extended playing time to get back to where he was at. We don't even need Norm to be a shooter, we just need 2016 Norm back. He and Biyombo were carrying us defensively in the playoffs that year :wow:
