Good win.
A tough 4 game schedule coming up. Kawhi can't afford to sit out.

Any Croatian heritage night is a feast for Zubac. Can we do this every other day?

Good win, will have to rewatch it in the morning as I couldn't focus on it 100% when it was on

Very sorry, hang in there.

I think that's the sign of a player who has settled comfortably into a role. He's our super sub and closes games, even if minutes fluctuates slightly from night to night he's knows he's going to be relied on in the 4th. I wanted to trade him at first, but he does raise our ceiling, and is great injury insurance.

I think on the whole our rotations and roles are really good, the odd men out being Bones (which is a shame, he was playing well to start the season and still has upside) and PJ Tucker (let's see if we can actually flip him into something useful.)

Even the shared Harden/Russ minutes are no big deal IMO. The majority of the game they can each cook their own way, and for that few minutes overlap they are more than savvy enough to adjust. We all got friends we really enjoy hanging out with on weekends, but would be incompatible as roommates.

The Harden-Westbrook minutes have been in the plus lately. Plus+ 17 per 100 possessions over the last 10 games. Hey as long as they're not killing us like they were at first, we're gold. But this is even better!

Haven’t been posting but did watch the games. Overall doing enough to win and at times enough not to lose. Russ has been playing great overall. Harden seems to be pacing himself and playing facilitator mostly. He has more burst though this year when he tries. Zu has hit a new level with him. Powell is a great player. Coffey and Theiss are also looking great. Mann is doing his job often defending and slowing down their best players. There is depth here. This will be a dangerous team in the playoffs. Kawhi, PG13, Harden, WB, and even Powell can all create their own offense. That’s going to be a nightmare to game plan against.
