PG needs to sit down. Love his aggressiveness but he’s forcing it now and killing our momentum.

Lue needs to get others involved. Looks like it’s PG and Harden taking turns on offense. It’s not good.

Pretty sure Harden shouldn’t pass to PG to take it up court and initiate our offense

Seriously. The scoring is great, but he let Dillon Brooks got into his head. He's just playing selfish and outta control basketball right now.

harden standing there like a statue instead of rotating on D, forcing zu to hedge and then be late on his man, resulting in harden blaming mann for not rotating is all kinds of hilarious and awful

Theis gave some good minutes out there. Especially just being thrown into the fire. Not sure why he didn’t get a little more burn.

harden looks like he's moving around a little better

not that i expect him to be one of our star defensive wings flying all around the court, but you'd hope this means he's finding his conditioning

Good focus coming out of the 3rd. Need to keep it up to the finish.

Houston looks frustrated and we need to take advantage.

glue guys are good once you have something to glue
team-best plus+12
but zero points

doesn't hurt that Kawhi and Harden are 11-14
helps a man's plus/minus :wink:

Theis looks pretty good out there all things considered. He doesn’t look lost which is impressive without practice time.

I applaud him for contesting a couple shots that others wouldn’t have.

Does anyone have more live ball turnovers than Paul George. It always feels like his turnovers lead to easy baskets for the other team.

look like some badly mis-fitting lineups

tucker's not a PF, and shouldn't be playing alongside zu. and as much as i'd like to see zu and westbrook do big things together, i don't see how zu/harden isn't the clearly better fit.

Slowly getting some cohesion. I like the first unit but Zubac is not really understanding his role with Harden yet. That should improve. I like Theis. Second unit with PJ is chaos. Kawhi is fitting better with Harden. You can see them hunt mismatches.
