I asked Kawhi about Siakam’s comments from earlier this season, crediting him for becoming more level-headed. “All the credits to him. He’s doing it now, he’s out there being more consistent and playing great basketball.” pic.twitter.com/OwQvTce326 – 10:58 PM

Jalen Williams said he thought the team had a lot of energy. On why he dove for that loose ball to set up Mann “he showed us film and we didn’t dive for one” so J-Dub was trying to avoid being on the next montage. It worked. Mark Daigneault praised that play earlier. pic.twitter.com/0ePuZOzpfh – 10:55 PM

OKC has won 4 of their past 5 games.
OKC’s last 3 losses are by a combined 7 points.
OKC has the same record as Toronto, an East play-in team.
OKC is 1 game behind the Warriors for the last West play-in spot.
Not bad for a rebuilding team without the #2 overall pick. – 10:32 PM

I love the concept of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander screening for Jalen Williams, which is what Mark Daigneault just tried there. Jalen Williams then laid out for a loose ball giving it just enough push to get to Mann for the fastbreak bucket, OKC in control thanks to the rookie. – 10:12 PM

Clippers had a +6 possession advantage against Raptors (+5 oREB, +1 takeaways). Highly impressive.
Ivica Zubac had as many offensive rebounds (10) as entire Raptors team. Norman Powell had season-high 3 steals. Those 2 and PG were only Clippers with multiple TOs tonight. – 10:11 PM

The Raptors shot 26% from 3-point range tonight. Their starters were 2-for-16. Nurse thinks the shotmaking (or lack thereof) is affecting the transition defence and their energy/fight on that end of the floor. – 10:06 PM

Significantly encouraging Clippers game from turnover standpoint.
Clippers had only 11 in Toronto, marking 6th time all season with 11 or fewer in a game. 4 of those 6 games have been in December.

The Clippers are 10-for-14 from the field in the third, and have opened up a 15-point lead on the Raptors. While there’s understandably been a lot of attention paid to Toronto’s shooting during its recent losing streak, the defense has been the bigger culprit, tonight included. – 9:08 PM

Nick Nurse re: the work ethic of Pascal & Fred: they are always in early in the morning. They understand this is what it is. It’s not a part time thing. I think they learned from (Kawhi). – 5:52 PM

Nick Nurse re: Norm Powell: he did a lot of work to become a good catch & shoot 3pt shooter…but could get to the rim too; adept at high percentage shots. Always good to coach…a good teammate etc. – 5:48 PM

Since joining Clippers, Kawhi Leonard has made more millions ($147M) than he has played games (145).
His return 3.5 yrs after leading Toronto to its only title serves up an uneasy truth:
His decision to leave was a blessing in disguise. Here’s why:

I asked Kameron Woods what the dialog between him and Mark Daigneault is like when these planned assignments like Tre Mann pop up “It is cohesive, always a plan, me and Mark talk pretty regularly so those conversations are free flowing and in the normal day-to-day.” – 3:38 PM

I wrote this on IG the day Norm Powell was traded from TOR: “…I often judge guys based on who they are as people, off the floor, not just players ON the floor.

The NBA really needs to open voting for the 3pt shooting. I wanna see Malachi Flynn v Yuta Watanabe going head to head. Need the league’s best shooters doing what they do best. – 2:55 PM

Re-upping this from Sunday; if the Celtics can win the homestand’s final two games (Houston tonight, LA Clippers Thursday), they’ll win an NBA-best 60 in the calendar year 2022.
It would be just the 3rd time since 1987 they’ve done that.
