should have hired van gundy years ago

I really don't think he was ever going to coach again. He was turning down big payday head coaching gigs for years until he got fired :lol

ESPN's loss is our gain.

But I think more importantly what you mentioned anout yiung legs is true. I also think not having a superstar right now that we HAVE to feed is great. Harden prefers to make plays for others at this stage so that works out perfectly for this team without Kawhi. Even when Kawhi comes back, I think his style of play/attitude will fit in. Play defense and shoot open shots.

Great win.

yah i think those young legs are beneficial when it frags on

with the older dudes like kawhi and pg then add in harden and thats a 100+ years old of legs :lol:

, they get tired by the 4th and probably why they usually have issues securing the rebound on defense to close out the games

in the last few minutes, yah there was a possession where the kings got a handful of shots but they were desperate and heaving shots leaving long rebounds but that last few minutes, i saw the youngins boxing out, filling the paint, jumping and grabbing those necessary rebounds

also currently 5th in the west, probably wont last but hey most expected this team to not even make the play-in and they have already beaten some tough teams in the west

I think rhat's why Mann fit so well with those guys. I used to tell my brother that we had 3 old dudes who were no longer willing to dive for loose balls or do all that little dirty work. I didn't blame them either. Then you had Zu who was too big to do that. So mann was left to do it.

Now we have a bunch of guys willing to do all that and I think it adds up to making us the 6th best defense in the league. For as much as I talk **** about KPj, even he gives great effort on defense.

JVG must command a lot of respect :lol
