So that sucked on so many accounts. Would like to chalk that up as just another loss.. but that one's going to sting for some time . Reminiscent of the time when NY came back from like 25 down or something to beat us last year.
The regular season now is pretty inconsequential so it's no big deal in the big picture. I mean seeding can matter, but I think that can be a bit overblown too.
We could easily be down 3 in a row as we have a big test against Boston on the road next. And if Ibaka is still "sore".. we're screwed.

Danny being hurt is the bigger concern, IMO. We are getting thin on the wings (and in shooting) with two rotation injuries there plus the next guy up. Going to need to start OG or Wright at the 2. And we can't be using OG minutes at PF with so few wings, so we might be forced into letting Serge take some PF minutes (not a lot, maybe 10 or so) until we get some wing players back.

did Sun ever do this to Demar or Lowry? wow
If Kawhi leaves in the offseason, then the media there is one of the reason why.Mamba Mentality

- Nurse has turned VV into Cory Joseph 2.0. He was iso-ing everytime he has the ball. Completely diff player from last year.
- Lowry's making all kinds of low percentage passes. I think he had 6 turnovers last night.
- Kawhi iso pretty much the whole game.
- Wright, a guy who can't shoot 3's was out there chucking step back 3's.
- I know Miles did not play. But he's a completely diff player this year too. He's a shooter not a slasher. Know your role and shoot the damn ball.Mamba Mentality

Injuries are the one concern I have for this team. Nurse has said that the emphasis on using the regular season as conditioning for the playoffs. That's the challenge he's set up for himself. If that's the case, the sample size we judge Nurse on will require the team to be healthier for long stretches in the second half of the season and subsequently leading into the playoffs if we're going to meet our potential.

Pascal Siakam was huge for the bench last year. Maybe it's time to treat Pascal as third star and have him play with the bench more? I still want to rest Kawhi and Lowry but Siakam should be fine. I honestly rather have him initiate actions and have Wright and FVV spot up or make second read.Only one thing matters: We The Champs.

Love the over reactions guys, but not as many as I'd hoped for. I expected more trade proposals for fringe bench players.
One thing is for sure, this game showed how important Ibaka, Green, and to a lesser extent Miles are to our flow and ball movement. I leave Norm out of there because he has been pretty inconsistent this year, but he still helps with our offensive flow compares to say throwing a Malakai out there. Once the ball is stuck in the mud, we are done. If this was later in the season Kawai might have been able to save this mess for us, but he is still not there yet. 8/10 times that last ISO play would result in a game winner for us. Just so happens this time he dribbled it off his foot. But it should have never gotten to that point. Hopefully Ibaka is back Friday night in Boston and we can get back on track.
