goodish start so far, given we're missing kawhi (the good version) and everyone else mostly doing their jobs. i imagine it's hard not to be deflated with kawhi out, even if he hasn't been playing so well.

but i don't quite see what the team is doing as sustainable, so i'm hoping something picks up either on defense or on offense.

Offense looking much better so far despite the refs

Imagine if PG would be this aggressive with Kawhi on the floor.

well, if there's one person on this team who is capable of putting in a virtuoso performance and carrying the team to a win, it's james harden, and so far he's on the right track

Ah yes. Gotta stick with Plumlee.

HAHAHA oh my god, westbrook being the heel last game and now coming out and giving instant impact is seriously the best

Game 4 and still not a single adjustment from Lue. :roll:

At least PG is playing better so far.

Playoff P has answered the call so far, but I am really worried about these early big leads.

Nice to see us hitting shots and the defense still holding court.

I’m happy to see guys playing confidently but why not play like this the last 2 games?

Hopefully Plumlee fouls out.

Nervous for when PG sits.

He was in foul trouble plus they were running the offense through Kawhi and he literally couldn't move out there in games 2 & 3

The defensive clinic Mann is putting on is why I was screaming not to include him in a Harden trade last offseason. If only Lue hadn't coached every last bit of confidence out of him on offense.

mann giving up the and1 right after a back-breaking harden 3 was just such bad basketball.

Foul trouble shouldn’t make you less aggressive on offense though. Game 2 they tried force feeding Leonard but not game 3.

All the guys are letting it fly.
