Eh... we got Rondo for Lou
Ultimately sad to see Lou go but I like the trade. We now have a real floor general who shines under the post season pressure and spotlight. We get the ball out of PG's hands and in turn Rondo will get him some easier buckets and help him rise above some of his post season woes. He'll feed Zu and Ibaka better in the paint. He's a better defender, pushes the pace, ball handling, high basketball IQ, tough, physical, and a vocal leader so Kawhi can stay being the mute that he is... also its now time for the Kennard/Mann show on the 2nd unit and less dependent on Pat Bev who's injured a ton. Lowery, Ball, or Rubio trades would've killed what's left of the little assets we had as well as having to give up Zu, Mann, and other players possibly. Much love to Lou Will, we'll miss him but I think we're moving in the right path.

Hell of a win tonight with all the players missing. Reggie was the player of the game. PG missed way too many layups but I could tell he was gassed- back to back games and he had to shoot, defend, rebound, and run point. Rondo is going to help out big time. Wanted to see Kennard demand the ball more and get a few more shots up but oh well. Good win. Philly, Milwaukee, and Denver coming up

Jesus. No mercy.:picard:

6 in a row. Holy crap trading Lou freed up Mann & Kennard. Zu's great defense too.

I don’t think it was a matter of freeing them up as much as this team got that much better defensively shipping Lou out. Luke isn’t a great defender either but he’s bigger & motivated. I’ve also noticed on most nights Mann is bigger than the opposing back up 1 so that gives him an advantage

I can’t help but think what the rotation is going to be when everyone is healthy. There’s a lot of Mothafukkas playing inspired right now

Wooooo weeeee!! Its been a long time since we beat the Bucks! Wishing Lou Will all the best but mann that trade has been a godsend:wow: Props to Kennard for keeping his head up and staying ready. Dude is starting to ball out. Mann was a little out of control in certain spots but he's on the rise. He's causing all kinds of problem of opposing team's defenses. Zu was great defensively tonight. Oh yeah Reggie is sort of having a resurgence as well. Ballin' out! No PG, Ibaka, Pat Bev, Rondo and we beat the Bucks by 20+:whew:

Gotta see how Ty Lue juggles the minutes when and if everyone gets healthy
