Well nice turn around.

[golden]

Everytime Kawhi goes to the bench we have a lead and everytime he comes back we already lost that lead. Doesn't matter who is on a floor.

Yeah, even the invisible hand of Lowry couldn't save the bench today.

All that fancy passing has been fool's gold with all those turnovers.

[MixxAOR]

4 starters must be on a floor at all times for Raps to have a chance.

[The Great One]

Gasol 10 points 5 ast 4 rbs

At least 3 anyway, and preferably 4 when it's Ibaka or OG.

has nothing to do with Nurse. Raps are playing lazy.

It's Nurse. When you play crappy lineups for fun and give the other team confidence because they start biting into the lead it ruins the whole flow. Because now when the starters come back in they can't always save everything with the other team now playing well and with confidence.

Yeah. They’ve come hand in hand.

Most of those were with the bench lineups, in less minutes. Fix the bench & transition rotation and you fix most of our problems.

Nurse was pulling off starters like he was going to continue to stagger starters with bench, then he must of went. "Wait I can play all bench!" and it was terrible on both sides of the court and completely took away all the momentum. Now the starters are back, disjointed and lazy.

That's what I mean. Sometimes when you lose the momentum it's hard to get it back when you give a team confidence. That's why I said it's on Nurse. The reason we lost the momentum was because of that trash all bench lineup.

They are turning it over and can't rebound to save their lives. If they have problem with confident teams they are doomed. Playoffs are not a bunch of pushovers

Maybe in the scheme of things, now’s not the worst time to be giving other teams confidence and seeing what we’re able to come back at them with... help us prepare for adversities to come...

then again... I think we’d just prefer they build good habits.

The main habit Nurse has been trying to build is the ability to adjust quickly on the fly in the playoffs. That's messing around with our focus and discipline in the regular season. It's a gamble.

The fanbase is so shook about this team in the playoffs that we try to find a silver lining in our coach actively sabotaging the team, to help them with become mentally tough and resilient in the face of that adversity.

I'd just prefer we play smart, with good effort and habits.
