Westchuck always does horribly vs the Spurs
but Durant was able to get his shot whenever and wherever he wanted
Leonard defended him about as well as you could and had at least 10 deflections while doing so
would have had 7+ steals if his deflections counted as steals for him and he was able to secure a few that he knocked past half court

only worry is Abaka
Spurs put so much attention to protecting the rim vs Durant/Westbrook that Ibaka is always open

I don't expect Lamb to be on fire in the playoffs or on the road so hes a nonfactor tbh
Jackson though reminds me of a mini Eric Bledsoe
Spurs will need an answer to defending him and it shouldnt be a Diaw/Ayres rim protection unit with Mills onball defense
should at least be Splitter protecting the rim and Green on ball

good stuff.

their athleticism definitely bothers me. granted, I believe they had extra day to prepare for us, so I still like our BBIQ and depth over them, but fuck if I hate losing to teams that depend on FTs and athleticism.

As long as Jeff Ayers doesn't get big minutes and our bigs rotation gets shorter we'll be okay. Tiago needs to be more aggressive and Boris too, they both reverted back to timid players. Tim looks like crap though.

It's easy to look aggressive when you're wide open under the basket, and your only defensive stance is to run someone off the 3pt line. That's what's been happening in every game save 2.
