    26% from 3, most of them wide open

    This game was a must win for us. Instead it was another bad game with no interior defense, rebounding or good ball movement.

    This team sucks right now.

    The Lakers are going to lose in the WCF if they really think Rondo should be in the closing lineup.

    Took way to long from Vogel to bring in Kuzma but then he did with 5 minutes to go he brought in Rondo as well. Offense just collapsed which isn’t that surprising when you have a guy who has no gravity and is useless off the ball

    Bad 2nd half. Made a mistake not playing Kuzma when he was hot and taking too many threes. Basically, played soft.

    I wrote about this earlier in the week... you need to have the right people taking the three point shots.

    This is the equivalent of signing Dennis Rodman and having him shoot threes.

    Obviously not quite that extreme... but it feels like it to me.

    45 threes but none from Dudley, Cook, Daniels.

    Coaching staff needs to stop catering to the superstars when they are cold.

    KCP is shooting 39% from three. The problem isn't KCP being left open... it's that teams know that AD or LBJ are going to shoot most of the time.

    They need to free the minions if nothing else but to create some doubt in the minds of the defense.

    They cheat knowing the superstars are most likely going to take the shot.

    I'll rephrase: this is the most consistent Pope has been; he was good again tonight.

    We're not winning a playoffs series against them .

    Kawhi is a great closer while Lebron is scared to attack the basket and AD is softer than 2008 Pau

    I'm not concerned at all. There are ups and downs during the season and they happened to catch us twice when we were down. When both teams are at 100% I think we're the better team.

    You should be . They are tougher both physically and mentally and Kawhi is the best player .

    I've seen enough similar weaknesses in both games from LBJ and AD to know we won't beat them in the playoffs .

    It's 2008 all over again even if the gap between the 2 teams is much smaller this season .
