Ham's got me scratching my head. He's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get. Tonight he was Popovich.

Lebron had a bad game and still got 18/10/6 with 2 blocks 1 steal and 3 TOs


His bad game is like an average game to some stars. Crazy he still trying to get in game shape and healthier right now.

Beasley early on kept us in it. His shot making was really good in a time when we were struggling.

Reaves was too much for Conley to handle, and made the vet look a little lost out there.

Schroder was amazing tonight. He was seemingly everywhere defensively. 11 and 6 with only 2 turnovers, and 2 steals when it felt like he had more. He was a nuisance in the best way possible. Also, down the stretch, who better to have on the free throw line? Is anyone stressed when he's on the line in the 4th? I know I'm not.

Rui was the +/- leader but only had 4 points with 6 rebounds. But I think its pretty fitting with the defense he was playing on KAT. He was making the guy work out there, and even getting some tough rebounds in traffic. He missed some shots he usually makes, but he was playing tough basketball out there. Way better than you'd expect from a guy who had a DNP a couple games ago.

Yeah, Beasley was pretty good tonight, those. 3s are godsend

Unfortunately I don’t think it’s game shape. I think his foot is an issue but if his presence alone opens things up that’s really all we need. Our defense is locked in.

His subs were on point it felt like. Seems like he always had at least two ball handlers/shot creators at all times. Him leaving Rui out there against KAT was smart and shows he had a feel for how the game was going

You're right, he was on his game tonight - really well coached game throughout.

Also, Ham saving Vando on Edwards for the 4th was nice. Vando was excellent tonight with all the different coverages he had to deal with

What a game

This team is good... What's our record since the trade deadline, 17-8 or something?


Imagine if we could keep the team healthy for a decent stretch, we have dudes getting banged up all over the place.

Clippers lost leaving little hope for grabbing that 6th seed.


I don't think the Clippers really want the 5th seed, I bet they want to duck PHX in the first round and would prefer to fall to 6. It's dicey because GS is super close to them and we are right behind, so they can't really pure tank but they can be strategic about resting Kawhi.

Who wouldn't want to duck the Suns. KD's back and he hasn't missed a beat

Oh yeah, I'll be hitting refresh in TDRock's thread and wearing my garlic and crucifixes. Hopefully we get some good news there.

Thing is with Lebron and DLo back do we need him? We are a lot stronger team now. Maybe just keep him out? Shouldn’t we be able to beat the Rockets without him?

Great energy in the Lakers locker room postgame. Tons of jokes, Mo Bamba, D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves making goat noises at LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Davis said he'd be able to play in Houston.

That’s interesting that’s not who originally tweeted that. Dan Woike originally tweeted that.

Oh I see that guy tweeted a photo

I’m not getting my hopes up because he has said these kinds of things before and then missed games, but I guess we will find out. He seems really motivated so…
