    We are ice cold right now....Law of averages though, we will be fine in the long run. We are still dictating pace, just need shots to fall.

    2 for 14 from downtown?! If they shoot like this, they're gonna get eliminated quickly from the playoffs.

    There is no defense....every shot Minn. making is from less than 5 feet.....PITIFUL. 3's aren't falling but D is the main problem.

    Playoffs just started and we're already slumping from the 3. Brick City.

    Chris Paul is mentally not engaged. He is playing like he's afraid of the moment. Harden and Capela look fine.

    He’s playing like a rookie and out of control.

    luckily we're only down 2 with how bad our shooting has been, our defense is carrying us right now but we gotta make buckets now.

    3 is part of the team's DNA. YOu telling them to stop shooting 3 is like telling the team to stop playing offense. We need our GOOD shooters to show up. Guys like Green, Gordon and Ariza gotta hit their open shots.

    Sure looks that way. But at this point I'm going to call it jitters. Just a lot of unnatural shots and decision making.

    Reading the game thread just goes to show me how few people understand basketball.

    We are missing some open shots , but we are playing good D and getting good looks .

    We're gonna win this game by 25 if our shooting comes around and we're gonna win it by 10 even if it doesn't

    The scary thing is that Kawhi could have came back at anytime. I would not have wanted that matchup with that on my mind....

    He’s still playing good just some bad sequences from him and being a bit forceful

    This is how most our games this year went against Minny isn’t it? We usually pull away from them in the second half
