    Lou Williams taking every shot. Very predictable except to Stotts. Trap if you need to

    Lou going apeshit. Need to make someone else take a shot in their offense.

    Lou ain't missing today. He was ice cold in our last game against them

    I think you live with Lou shooting long fading twos. He's good at it, but it's not exactly a great shot and his teammates never get into rhythm.

    He moves his feet well, and I still see a lot of BS fouls getting called on him.

    I get leaving Lou Williams in single coverage if PG3 is on the floor. He's alone and taking (and making) every shot though. The aversion to tapping is insane.

    This game is going to give me a heart attack. Glad I'm on the east coast so I don't feel guilty for having a drink right now.

    Dame is chatting with their bench a bit. He doesn't usually engage unless they start first. Who's stupid enough to do that?

    As the TNT announcers are saying, they need to make him go right.

    Players don't usually get trapped after making two or three shots unless your name is Dame, Harden, Steph, etc.

    Just see where it goes. I really don't think Lou is enough of a threat right now to compromise your entire defensive scheme to stop him.

    If we can score 37 points every quarter, I like our chances.

    Lou Williams is the most prolific off the bench scorer in the NBA. This is no scrub.

    Mario is a headless chicken. What is Stotts looking at?
