He was fine, tbh..played like a role player, which is better for the Spurs in this match up IMO..
I'm done ting on the guy. He can't help it, he was born that way.
FYI: I didn't mind him not forcing shots against Tristan who is able to hold his ground on the post-ups. This is about the two FTs he bricked which would have been an utter slap to Kawhi had the game gone to double OT......which almost happened after Love got WIDE open for a 3

He was actually fantastic. Difficult for a Star caliber player to still contribute positively without touches.
I'm not talking about his overall game, I was already resigned to him being a 3rd wheel ala Klay after Gm 5 of the OKC series.
I'm talking about him bricking both FTs, dude is a in' choker.
He's never been known as a big winner. That's why he isn't going to retire in Portland.
He's limited as too. If the jumpshot isn't falling it's extremely hard for him to get points. No post game to speak of.
Too bad LMA can't get a ball transplant with Marco Belinelli tbh
Saved the game with his play in the final minute, huge block and jumper to seal it when Kawhi was trying to give it away
The last 2 FTS were meaningless
Oh come on now. When he was putting up big numbers in Portland everyone said he was as good as Duncan.
Kawhi and Manu at the line in 2013 Finals say hi
Tristan Thompson is a tough matchup, tbh.... still, he was MIA all the way to OT...
I liked how Lee combined with hit at times though...
Remember when LMA lost a championship with a missed FT? Neither do I.
Aldridge is never going to consistently dominate Thompson in the post, tbh..he just has to rebound and make open shots vs. Cleveland..
Kawhi, Parker and 3-point shooting will be the best offensive weapons against them in a potential series..
Ouch. But fair.
And Dejounte, apparently.
Yeah b/c he choked away his chance to play for all the marbles.
Lee on a minimum salary outplayed 100mill Love.
How about go to work in the freakin paint like a normal big? It pisses me off because he has show that can do it and just doesn't
LMA had a great all around game today.
Dedmon otoh....
Love wasn't near 100% thoLee on a minimum salary outplayed 100mill Love.
LA hit the shot that sealed the game, tbh.
Are you really going there? LMA is supposed to be a 2nd option for a contender. Dedmon's ceiling is a starting center
I also liked how he was pounding the offensive glass, helping on LeBron's drives & making passes out of the post after he wet the bed in the first half.
But dude can't be counted on in pressure situations.
Dedmon needs someone that bangs since he doesn't have the IQ to play PnR defense which is where TOSB Chandler could help:Dedmon otoh....
I'll take Chandler over Deadman in a secI also liked how he was pounding the offensive glass, helping on LeBron's drives & making passes out of the post after he wet the bed in the first half.
