Still down big but nice little run to end the first.

Nice run at the end. Crazy that was PJ's first shot in 4 games. I know he's been struggling but not taking anything is worse

in a way i'm kinda grateful for getting absolutely shredded like this in the first, because it shows the extremes of how our imbalanced roster will fare against one of the worst matchups in the league for this team.

like, the FO can't watch this without realizing things are gonna be really problematic without continued roster moves, because we'll be forced to pay the piper some time in the future against some kind of a bad matchup, and you gotta make due.

and whatever we have now? it ain't gonna make due.

Hmm I think I'm going to do something more productive tonight. Team looks like they ate too much for Thanksgiving

You can’t play youth. It’s disrespectful to the vets.

You can't play PJ with Russ or Zu. It's absolutely killing spacing.

It went from a flatline to now having a pulse

Activity on defense is providing offense

Mostly true. Trying to find SOMEDODY for Tucker to get some minutes in with. So far, plus+8 in 7 minutes, most of them with Theis.

ADD: Bodying up Zion. That works!!

Shooting 25 percent from 3 while they are nearly 60 percent. 45 percent from floor versus 58 percent. It’s a wonder we aren’t down more

I think we finally identified PJ’s special talent, being able to not get steamrollered by Zion

Feels like Leonard is load managing in game to be able to play tomorrow.

Theis blocks out well and enables others to get boards- he always find a guy to stick to.

KL2 · Post #35 » by **KL2** » Sat Nov 25, 2023 4:37 am

I can’t believe Theis. Whew.

KL2 · Post #36 » by **KL2** » Sat Nov 25, 2023 4:38 am

Not bad to be down 1 at the half. Sheesh.

Have to bring it to start the 3rd.

Hell of a come back much better than in the past.

Off topic I'm in LA this weekend. Any LA natives up to meet up at Shortstop bar later?

Norm was huge in our comeback. PJ Tucker did some nice things out there.

Kawhi is still Kawhi. He makes good teams great. Until you prove to me you're worth my effort, I ain't gonna.

It's how he rolls. He's a thoroughbred, not a mule.
