Third game in 4 nights and no Kawhi :ehh:

A lot of chatter on my Twitter timeline about Mann needing his minutes reduced and out of the starting lineup. :francis:
may not have ultimately mattered but i would have had powell replace kawhi in the starting lineup to give you more offensive firepower. kept mann in the starting lineup but be prepared to sit him on the bench because they got obliterated with him on the floor tonight. 1pt lead then just got absolutely torched the rest of the game after chet's self alley oop. a day off, boston at home, then i think a stretch of 3 games in a row where they get two days off between each game.

Yeah this team is stacked. Good to see Kawhi back. Those small injuries where he sits for a few games is no problem, just protect his knees at all costs. Lue had to cut back on Harden's minutes or he'll run him into the ground. Love how he sets up PG for catch n shoot and seems to have unlocked Zu offensively. Still early, but is Harden our best point guard ever? Some will say CP3 but imo he was too controlling, didn't score enough, and didn't utilize the fast break with our young gazelles in their primes, Blake & DJ.

I think a lot of this is PG'S fault -- he doesn't do enough during his stints out there by himself, especially while Kawhi was out, so Harden has to play more.

Might be. I think we'd have had at least the same level of success with harden on those lob city teams instead of CP3.

I just knew this was going to be a tough game.

Can’t recall the last time The Clips beat this team. Usually their athleticism is an issue. What an impressive win. If these guys are on the court the expectation should be sun at this point.
