Pretty bad for everyone. After that weird exchange with Harden and McDaniels arm-barring each other with no call, we totally lost focus.That was a rough 3rd quarter for russ. Awful
Came in to post about this same thing. I don't like to overreact to one or two games, but we may have goofed by not trading for someone else with size and athleticism. But like rfx45 said, when the guys we have really put the effort in, the team is capable of rebounding well enough against bigger teams to win.The one real weakness I was hoping we didn't get exposed on, continues to be an issue. If we made any trades during the deadline, it was to improve our size at the power forward position but at the same time, I wasn't necessary mad if we kept everyone since we were winning at a nice clip. But we continue to get exposed when playing bigger teams. Even against the Pistons, we didn't even get 1 offensive rebound.
I don't disagree at all with what you and rfx45 say about an effort thing. I just don't understand what more effort or motivation the team needed knowing that they are playing a top tier team and winner gets the #1 seed. You would think that was enough to push them in the effort part.Came in to post about this same thing.

To me last night wasn't really about personnel; we just didn't respond well when the Wolves ramped up the physical play and effort level. We didn't match their energy and they took advantage and put the game away. Just have to be better against them.
Could be, I guess. Ty's line-up management in that game was real weird. The Theis minutes were kind of baffling because it was clear early he wasn't helping and seemed like Kawhi was kept out longer than he should have been when Minny was pulling away. Weird stuff.Ooooooooorrrr maybe I'm expecting too much for a Feb. regular season game and Ty is playing chess not revealing all his moves. I'm going to hope it's the latter.
