Zu plays hard and is on a good contract - but he needs to be replaced. And im hopin Kawhi wakes up- and realizes his one on one shyt is disrupting offense. It's ok to give up the basketball- it'll come back to you

PG needed to finish that game man:unimpressed: Should've been a shorter leash on Lou Will in this one. Wouldn't mind seeing Coffey out there for a minute or two for his defense and to see if he could've knocked down a couple of jumpers. Two games in a row against them where our bigs weren't shyt and DJ outplayed them. Oh well.

totally forgot about Coffey...

Kyrie is simply a sore spot defensively. There’s Pat and it just gets worse & worse. Hence why the roller was always fukking open.

Serge also needs to do a better job at being impactful around the rim on both ends

The Nets puts so much pressure on you

Too much extra from Bruce Brown and DJ and not much from Lou and Morris on our side. On to the next one

The reality is I expect to win against everyone in the league when it matters...but this Nets thing may be out of reach as currently constructed. Both of these games have been lost defensively. It becomes a matter of hoping instead of sound defensive principles if they are all healthy. Terrance Mann recently has really been playing with more confidence lately but under no shape or form do I want trying to stick Kyrie. You’re already operating at a negative in that situation

I’m not entirely sure what’s the upgrade

Yeah but Kyrie is going to get his in a game like this. But also towards the end he almost shot them out of the game. The top players in the game are more than likely going to get theirs majority of the time. It is what it is. You just gotta limit the Joe Harris, Jeff Green, Bruce Brown, DJ, and company. That's the key

The problem is Jeff, Tyler & Joe aren’t putting it on the floor. Everything they get is because 1 of those 3 beat their man off dribble and the defense collapses. Just based off that one of them mothafukkas will always be open. I think controlling Brown & DJ are more realistic goals.

By the way I’m calling it now....

Utah is too far out for either Clippers or #BussyGang to catch them especially considering AD will be out for a month. Expect to play them in the 2nd round

A Terance Mann breakout game:wow:

Breh is officially ahead of Kennard on the depth chart. Nobody saw that coming. :whew:

PG, Kawhi, Zu, and Reggie balled the f*ck out. Might even have to put Zu back in the starting lineup and have Ibaka come off the bench. Kinda what to see Lou Will sit out another game to see if that bench lineup can play like that again. Its different when Lou Will plays because he's so ball dominate and is always looking for his shot. The ball was moving around tonight though. Beautiful to watch
