We were never in this one from the opening tip. Soon as I seen Zu getting worked from Robinson and nobody's shot falling it was a wrap. Reggie has been ballin but these are the games where a real point guard is needed to run the sets, find the open man, knock down a few baskets, and keep us in the game... Either that or we can't beat the Knicks just like how for some reason we can't beat the Pelicans. I'll let this one slide. Better be ready against GS tomorrow tho:ufdup:

I’ve been pushing back on us needing “a real pg” but Reggie is the only person with any juice on the team with PG out. If we had another consistent playmaker we’d be straight. Powell I think would have helped. Terrance can get downhill but isn’t good enough, Boston has a bag but he’s too inexperienced and dude is too much of a gunner at heart.

basically with Powell and pg out we just don’t have enough playmakers, point guard or otherwise. I was listening to a podcast the other day and they mentioned something Lue said: we got a lot of guys that can eat but not a lot that can cook.

Good win. Team is starting to only get wins on how well Reggie plays or not.
The team's got no juice otherwise, and Reggie isn't the level decision maker where you're comfortable with it all on him. I'll take any win the team can get at this point, but it is concerning. Hard to balance the feeling of playing with house money vs. we need every win we can in case PG and Kawhi come back.

Tough loss, but I liked the process for the most part. Have to find more ways to get Luke shots -- some of that is on him not being aggressive enough.

It's a testament to the job Lue has done that I go into every game thinking the team has a chance. I hope the team makes it out of the play-in want some of the younger guys to get more experience in the playoffs ahead of next season.
