    Good game, sometimes you lose close ones. Couldn't stop Kawhi, probably shouldn't have switched there but that type of thing is going to happen. Beat Charlotte and Memphis and if the worse thing that happened to you on one of the longest road trips of any team this year is you lose to the 2nd best team in the east on a buzzer beater then you had a great road trip.

    Predictable as fuck. Dame wasn't even within arm's length.

    Why Terry? Why?

    Good loss. But, I would have liked to see some adjustments on Kawhi. Gotta defend better than that when you know who the ball is going to.

    It didn't help that the refs iced out Dame twice in those free throws. Haha. That was honestly just a really great game to watch. Could have gone either way. Strong showing by our team during a long ass road trip without the normal big man rotation.

    I had this as a Loss but that was a hell of a game and nothing to be ashamed of. Even with an L, I wanted to see how they played and without Kanter and with Nurk in major foul trouble, they gave that a hell of a run.

    We had this game after the Dame 3. CJ leaves Danny Green open in the fucking corner.

    Tough to do on a random play like that.

    And Kawhi is smart enough to make that skip pass if you decide to take the first pass away.

    But yeah, with a guy that hot...you probably make him make that play.

    CJ leaving a strong side shooter like Green and then his almost airball '3'....not a good last minute for CJ. (again)

    Bones said it best: we beat ourselves. Predictable Terry, missed FTs, brutal turnovers at the wrong time.....

    We beat ourselves too many times, season after season. Especially games like this; and on national TV, of course.

    Only two questionable calls I saw was the 'foul' on Siakam after the Nurk rebound which sent Nurk to the line for two free throws.
    The icing of Lillard was pretty questionable by the refs as well.
    I understand it for the first one, but then for the second to come back and do the same thing.
    That's pretty silly.

    I also am not a huge fan of switching that Leonard/Lowry P&R so easily.
    Lillard did it a few possessions earlier when Harkless fought threw and gave up a Lowry runner.
    I think Lillard made a mistake there.
    Unless Stotts just wanted the switch.

    There were two raptors threes that were twos...one by Leonard and one by Lowry...so it really ended tied

    That's shouldn't be a "random play" for the defense...

    I blame Stotts because it's on the coach to set the philosophy for game-specific situations through practice.

    Jake with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assists, 2 steals and a block off the bench. Nice production and a +12.

    I agree. KL is a great player - I think we would have won this game with Kanter, ET or Zach playing backup center the entire game instead of ML.

    Oh well.
