Team is too old, slow, gassed, semi and fully washed, etc. Team doubled down on the senior citizen movement with Harden but unfortunately that trade included PJ Tucker and it quickly turned into a sh*t show once he cried for his minutes and Lue caved in and put him back into the rotation. Harden is only taking 6-8 shots a game and is slowing the offense down to a crawl and getting exposed on defense. Mann and Coffey are redundant and both won't shoot the ball when wide open at times. If Norm isn't hitting shots he needs to sit. Zu is hit or miss but mostly plays soft. Plumlee is washed. Need athletes and youth surrounding PG & Kawhi at this stage of their careers but its the complete opposite. Kai Jones was out there for the taking and they passed. Kobe Brown was shelved even tho he's way better than PJ. Does PG bolt to Philly or Indy in the offseason? Do you trade Kawhi? This team is in trouble.
That's it right there.

Indy wont have the space to sign PG if they re sign Siakam....

Russ is going to try hard every game every night. I don't think the same can be said for anyone else on the team. Nice win but PG and Harden shouldn't have to try this hard to beat a Cavs team without Mitchell.

Cavs are 3rd in the East. Not a juggernaut but also not a team the Clipps can just roll out of bed and beat without breaking a sweat. They actually play well and their offense is more balanced when either Mitchell or Garland sits as they're damn near the same player with the same skill set. Not to mention Harden isn't scoring that many points theses days from either exhaustion, age, or injury.. Or a combo of all three.

He was almost going to sit this game with foot soreness.

Hell of a win last night. Most be better to start Russ, but when/if the game slows down and becomes a half court affair, Harden will be the better option to run the offense. Harden just starts the game too slow and his defense is supar allowing the opponent to get off to a fast start. Good to see PG stepping up and it looks like Big Zu is back. Man he needs to incorporate that midrange jump shot he got. Lue has to give him the green light on that. Imma be worried but not surprised if Kawhi doesn't play tonight or on Friday. I'm sure everyone is sitting out the final on Sunday afternoon.
