PG been playing like pure shyt.. what is the point of mann
What's the deal with PG's contract situation? I'm 80% sure they're resigning him, but low key what if they're thinking about getting a haul for him -picks & players- and simply resigning Harden since they already have Kawhi locked up? If there's no deep playoff run will they want to max out PG again? Does a Coffey, Brandon Boston, and say Jordan Miller trio rotation give the team the same point production? Sh*t is getting interesting that's for sure

Guess it isn’t just dead legs huh?

Pels
Lakers
Nuggets
Wolves

Four big teams which you’ll HAVE to play at some point in the offs…
we'll get more of an answer soon, play 6 teams that can go big before mid march. i dont think the matchups are as big of a problem as not getting the consistent performances out of their big 3 that they did when they were rolling.

I'm having a discussion on Twitter about why Lue doesn't have Zu shoot the mid range or even an occasional three ball to pull guys like Joker, Gobert, etc. out of the paint and open the lane up. Then we would still have our rebounder for the defensive end of things. Zu should've at worst shooting free throw line jumpers two years ago. Instead of running the Zu pick and roll to death that doesn't work against bigger teams like Minnesota.
This is spot on. The Harden "system" is predicated on Zubac being a dominant force in the paint... which, prior to Zubac's injury, allowed LAC to have a balanced 3-level attack of paint, mid range, and 3s. But against a team like MIN or LAL, the lane becomes congested and all the quick hitting PnRs turn into over dribbling. If Zu can shoot, they needed that implemented the year y'all had Hartensein.

That would definitely help now. Zu has that shot in his game but Lue has never unlocked it and given him the green light to take jumpers

Lmaooooooooo You’re buggin. How is he supposed to go from never doing it to doing it during the most high leverage games of the year? He would have to build confidence in it you’d think

:yeshrug:




On another note, who steps up tomorrow? It should be Mann but I don't see that happening. It would have to be a trio of Coffey, Boston, and maybe Jordan Miller imo.

The more minutes Harden plays the more unlikely I think it is he re-signs. He's playing way too many ducking minutes; obviously we needed them tonight but it's making me nervous.

This team is ill equipped to deal with big teams and teams that converge on the ball. They’re being forced to start their sets with like 9 seconds left on the clock.

Losing games in the same way
