I agree, one quote I saw from PG “I love T. Lue, he allowed me to play, make mistakes, continue to play,”
Seems like the chemistry with the coach and other players is much better this year. I think PG is going to have an awesome year.

I view it as tonight’s dinner was awesome. An overcooked steak overshadowed by an awesome bottle of Opus One. Will you be lucky enough to have Opus One everynight? maybe, but I feel like someday you will need to fix your cooking.

This is probably overstating my worry, but the fact is they’ve shot better than 45% from 3 in 4 of their 5 wins, and better than 50% in 3 of those. That’s not sustainable. Still super small sample size, and sure they’ll probably win games by shooting “only” 35% from 3. But I just need to see it and gauge how good this team really is when they’re not radioactive hot from 3.

No no, I was just inferring. PG13 did say that he's heard more chirping recently after the Clips' choke job in the bubble though, so it's not like my script would be completely out of the realm of possibility...

Is that really what they said?

Yes, it would be odd for either CP3 or Booker to say “hey, you guys don’t have much playoff success”.

“Haha you guys choked in the playoffs last season!”

“…remind me, how did you guys do in the playoffs last season?”

That was my assumption as well.

CP up to usual antics and then Booker trying to act like CP. Based on PG’s post-game comments, I assume there was shit-talking about Playoff P.

So what was the chirping in the game? I haven’t heard any specifics. Thanks.

Amen. I’m likely reading into things but chemistry seems to be better in general. Not just the positive Serge/Nic additions and the subtraction of a certain someone or even the sideline towel waving, but guys talking more and looking like they finally enjoy the game of basketball. One clip from the the Portland game that stuck out to me was PG and Lou talking and laughing on the sideline. It was a long interaction as the camera cut to it a few times. I think culture has gone from undervalued to overrated but it’s still a good vibe so far.

“Tonight’s steak was cooked perfectly, but I’m really worried that we’re going to undercook the salmon tomorrow.”

Classic.
