If we can get rid of Morris and Wall do it. If they can upgrade with Luke part of a package do it. I’d prefer to not trade Roco. Powell and Mann are off limits.

Good win from the guys.
Yeah less is more with this team. The less guys suited up that need minutes the better. I honestly think Kennard might be expendable as well. He can't stay healthy, his defense has regressed again, and he's not getting any separation from defenders to get his shot off. Healthy or not just sit Wall, Morris, and Kennard for now imo. The less options on the bench make the player's roles more defined and Lue's job much much more easier

I know its the Spurs but this is literally the best I've seen PG & Kawhi play together since arriving in LA.:whoo: Also we need to keep Wall and Morris on the bench even when they do get healthy

Exactly same shyt as that 2021 bubble game where Kawhi hit the spin dunk. Clippers in full control throughout and then the last 5 mins of the fourth Q is just a mess. I think that's the game where Kawhi is calling for a post-up pass from Bev and somehow Pat throws it straight to the Bucks.

Disgusting offense in crunch time, what the hell.

Our stars were awful tonight. Went with Reggie way too long. Mann should've finished the game. No plays called for Norm who had the hot hand. Should've gave Brown or Moussa a few minutes just to keep a body on Giannis at all times. All he did was his goal line running back play all game long. Bad loss right here when you controlled the game for three quarters. Lue has to trust the players better

I agree with all your points

Not going to blow it out of proportion because the season turned around close to this point in '21, but hope the FO is active in free agency for a backup big and table setter PG. Probably will help Ty when some guys are dealt, too, the talent is overwhelming him.

And Lue gotta come up off Reggie as the closing guard when Mann's downhill style can actually open things up.

Yeah too many role players that need guaranteed minutes. Less would be more for Ty Lue lineup wise. Not sure how we even incorporate John Wall back into the mix. The opposition doesn't even guard out on the perimeter anymore daring him to shot. Even still, if Kawhi and PG make one bucket a piece in the last three minutes we win the game.

I think what you may be referring to was a game they had against Milwaukee in 21 but it wasn't in the bubble. The game played out the same

Controlled most of the game
Bucks played desperate/more defensively assertive in the 4th
Stars were ice cold
Zu in foul trouble
Giannis was agressive
Lue didn't put Serge in the game to attempt to deter Giannis

Thank you Batum:salute:

Good solid games from PG & Kawhi. This team can't hold a lead for sh*t tho. It would've been a sh*t storm if they lost this game. Norm has been spectacle off the bench as usual. Reggie has a few moments here and there but he's not the more anymore. Lue still needs to incorporate one the back up bigs into the mix -either Moussa or Moses Brown.



Ya'll feeling this Kyrie to the Clippers talk? This has to be Ballmer saying lets cut to the chase instead of praying for chemistry and trying to figure things out. I'm game for it as long as we hold on to Terance Mann. Not sure what they want but the starting package could be something like Powell, Kennard, Morris, and a first round pick. They don't have all the leverage in this since Kyrie wants out of there.
