That driving dunk at 2:56 is impressive.
Kobe, Kai, Cam & Flower looks good.
Hope we keep developing them and they will ready when called upon. Let’s see.

We aren’t a Colin Sexton, John Collins, or Robert Williams away from competing w/ OKC, Boston, and Cleveland. Hell, we might not even be a Giannis away from that.

Also even if Kawhi can stay healthy he probably isn’t worth much to a contending team – like none of OKC, Boston, or Cleveland look like they even need him. The most appealing and movable piece we have is probably Harden, but if we trade him this house of cards completely collapses so we’d better be getting back some serious draft compensation (which we’re highly unlikely to get in return). Unfortunately I think we’re just stuck. If we reel off a long winning streak as the schedule softens up then I’ll obviously be happy, but I’m not gonna delude myself into hoping for anything more than a play-in spot or a 1st round exit.

Clearly there’s a pattern of teams getting in our grille and blowing us up. The reason we’ve exceeded expectations is because we are terrible on paper and the chickens are finally coming home to roost. After seeing this there are no trades we can make to put us into contention. I guess they will see how Kawhi continues to look and if he still has it perhaps he will agree to go to a contender for an asset or two in return to build for the future.

Just awful in every facet tonight. Games like these are exactly why this team shouldn’t be trading away any future assets. Not only can they not beat a Nuggets team w/o their 1st and 3rd best players, they got absolutely curbstomped by them. Unfortunately it just looks like we’re gonna be capped out at “play-in/scraping into the playoffs” level for a little while.
