Doesn’t make any sense why Thibs won’t give Kolek 10 minutes to settle the offense. If he’s going to play Payne and Shamet, at least give a guy who knows how to run an offense a chance. Just bad coaching—we’re going to need something different in the playoffs.

He’s worried we could go down 24.

Oh, wait…

KAT looked like his hand is really hurt. Looked over at Thibs. If he is I hope his butt is on the bench in tbe 2nd half. All we need is our other all-star missing games.

Why in the holy F can't we play a PG we drafted? This is pathetic and hurts my eyes.

Also going iso KAT to start the game is a terrible o scheme and Thibs wonders why the rest of the team is out of sync on offense. Interior d switching is terrible. Getting clowned in this game.

I can see this game being close a blow out. I hope I’m wrong


They have good players. This is game Precious can really help us. If he's effective and gets some run it's minutes of rest for OG and KAT. All these games are important. We need the wins. We have a 5 game lead on 3 teams. I don't know if they are tactical with the playoffs. 4th seed would keep us from having see Boston until the ECF. Not sure it matters

Would be nice to see Kolek get some experience vs. CP3 as well.

Thibs needs to go. Terrible calls after timeouts, Waited too long to call a timeout, letting it go back to 15.

The team looks rudderless. If there was a time to give Kolek a chance..

Mamu 5/5 from 3, Shamet 0 for 4, KAL & Hart are 1 for 6. Disgusting. Rather PJ at this point over Chuckmet.

I am starting to think whenever Thibs use his famous line that the only thing that matters is winning it is just so he never has to adjust or try anything different. He will just say that the way he wants to do things will give them the best chance to win and throw that BS quote in your face anytime he gets asked about adjusting.

Simply unacceptable. You'd have to combine Mamu last 5 games to get that many points.

Once the Cavs got Hunter that killed any chance we have to beat them in the playoffs. He will hit those open 3's we are going to give up. Once I seen that trade I knew it was over.

Why we even recall Kolek. Bro, getting 0 minutes outside of garbage time. We could have seen him show out with the other rookies in the G-League tonight. By the way we are still struggling to score while TJ warren is out there but we picked PJ Tucker.

Didn’t see the whole game, but I caught the 4th quarter. It was very disappointing, but I did see some promising things from Mitch/KAT they have the potential to develop into a poor man’s Tim Duncan/David Robinson (if only Kat had Tim’s defense and Mitch had David’s offensive skills) type of duo once Mitch gets his legs under him and they develop chemistry. I agree with what the others stated, when the offense stalls you should give Kolek some time to try to energize it. At least he made an effort to give him minutes at the end of the game.

It sucks to lose to a Wemby-less Spurs, but I guess it’s revenge for when the Alexey Shved Knicks beat Tim Duncan and Kwahi’s Spurs back in the day.

I bleed orange and blue for life.
