[Horry Hipcheck]

[RD2191]

You do know that Kawhi had Durant at 1-7 shooting before being called for that bullshit 3rd foul, right?

[thunderup]

Eye test tells me the Mexican put up more a fight than Kiwi.

KD got 28 points in both games, Garcia played 28 minutes and Kawhi played 29. KD put up 26 FGA against the Spurs, 19 against Houston. He also made 3 of his 7 3 point attempts in Houston, 2 of which came in the last minute in a futile attempt to salvage a chance at a win or OT; and none of his 6 attempts against SA. 6-6 FTs against SA; 11-12 against Houston.

Refs see KAWHI shutting thin man down; refs blow whistle. Simple eye test.

[wildchild]

GOOD MOVE: Popovich said before the game he was excited to see what Leonard would be able to do against Durant on defense. Leonard didn't play in the previous three games. In the first half, Leonard (with some help from Diaw) held Durant to just 4-for-13 shooting
From nba.com Notebook: Thunder 106, Spurs 94-Link- (http://www.nba.com/games/20140403/SASOKC/gameinfo.html?ls=slt)

And Leonard isn't going in foul trouble every game.

Anyway, if Garcia>Kawhi foolishness would be true, what about the Ferrari's OP last night? 3-10...
So Canaan>>>>>>>>>>>>>Marco the Ferrari? Maybe not, just because you can't judge a player by only one game.

[TheWriter]

This bullshit excuse for a troll thread belongs in the NBA forum.

[hater]

Garcia is Puerto Rican you dumb hillbilly.

Except Gacia is Dominican :lol

And this should shut down this stupid ass thread right away.

[SpurPadre]

Except Gacia is Dominican :lol

LOL, I just looked it up. I was going on ESPN, who referred to him as being Puerto Rican during last night's telecast. I should've known, though, being close to Sacramento and hearing about him here when he played for the Kings. At least I know there's a BIG difference between being Mexican and from somewhere else in Latin America. But still...my bad.

[apalisoc_9]

What a stupid ass thread....

Kawhi Leonard is one of the best all around defenders in the league and the spurs best all around player..

OP is a POS

[thunderup]

Okay.

[heyheymymy]

[RD2191]

lol francisco garcia cmon man

[tmtcsc]

Please, Kawhi faced a well-rested KD while Garcia matched up on him on the second half of a b2b.

[Raven]

bad troll doing what he does.

[Bill_Brasky]

Whatever, close enough.

:lmao you're highly rated defender and great young player did about as much or less against Kevin than a scrub Hispanic included as filler in a trade
And your "amazing GM" traded James Harden for a one year rental of Kevin Martin :lmao

[SupremeGuy]

It's going to feel so good seeing thunderup blow up when the Thunder fail to even reach the WCF again.

[superjames1992]

Kawhi and Patty homers are so much worse than Manu homers like myself or CoP members these days. :cry

[G-Dawgg]

Kawhi is NOT the Durant stopper as Bowen was the Kobe stopper..

[El CaPiTaN809]

not even lol

[hater]

Kawhi and Patty homers are so much worse than Manu homers like myself or CoP members these days. :cry

:lol I have to agree with this. I simply stated Cisco might do a better job on Ethiopian given that he seems to avoid comitting fouls, remains physical and got into Ethiopians head.

These Kiwitards refuse to acknowledge even the remote possibiliy that other NBA players might be better that Kawhi at certain things. Wow

[hater]

oldie but goodie fellas

shows Garcia's clutchness on Durant goes as far back as last year :lol


The Rockets showed how it can be done. Well, not the Rockets, plural. One Rocket, singular. Francisco Garcia showed how it can be done, sketched the blueprint for the next team that faces Oklahoma City in the playoffs. That would be the Western Conference semifinals.

The dilemma would be Thunder superstar Kevin Durant.

The solution was demonstrated by Francisco Garcia. One possible solution, anyway. There may be more than one way to get inside Durant's head, to slow him down, to make the most efficient scorer in recent NBA history just inefficient enough to change the game.

Garcia did that Saturday night in Game 3 after the Rockets tried to defend Durant the old-fashioned way, with similarly built Chandler Parsons. The old-fashioned way didn't work, but it never has. Durant has won three scoring titles.

Garcia defended Durant as well as I've ever seen, and I've seen Durant in each of the last three postseasons. I've seen the Spurs try to stop him. The Mavericks. The Heat, with LeBron James himself. I've never seen anyone make Durant look as bad -- "bad" is a relative term for a player this good -- as Garcia made him look in Game 3.

What did Garcia do? He got physical. He got nasty. Dirty? Maybe a little bit.


It started early in the second quarter with Durant playing at a ridiculously high level, even for him. At one point he was beating the Rockets by himself, 20-19. Overall the score was 44-19, and it was 50-24 when Houston moved Garcia to Durant and Garcia did something that changed the game. It happened away from the ball, but I saw it. If you have the game on DVR, see it yourself. Someone else from the Thunder was bringing up the ball -- I didn't see who; I was watching Durant -- when Garcia started thumping him in the chest with his forearm.

It wasn't awful. It wasn't clean, wasn't nice, but it wasn't terrible. It was a foul, had the referees been watching, but it wasn't worth a flagrant or a technical. It was irritating, and Durant got irritated.

And his game deteriorated.

cue in the Kiwitards :rolleyes

[hater]

Garcia was in his head -- and Durant resorted to hero ball. First he tried to take Garcia into the lane, where he lost the ball on his way up. Next time, same thing. Another forced foray into the lane. Another difficult shot. Another lost possession. With Garcia shadowing him, Durant closed the second quarter in a 2-for-6 rut, and the Thunder lead was down to 17.

Then came the third quarter, one of the worst quarters I've seen Durant play. He took seven shots and missed six. He had three turnovers, one 45 feet from the basket as he pivoted, pivoted, pivoted until the referee finally called traveling. In the third quarter the Thunder scored just 14 points. The Rockets were within 80-76.

Francisco Garcia did that.

[apalisoc_9]

KD got 28 points in both games, Garcia played 28 minutes and Kawhi played 29. KD put up 26 FGA against the Spurs, 19 against Houston. He also made 3 of his 7 3 point attempts in Houston, 2 of which came in the last minute in a futile attempt to salvage a chance at a win or OT; and none of his 6 attempts against SA. 6-6 FTs against SA; 11-12 against Houston.

[hater]

well Kawhi needs to stop being such a nice guy and take a page out of Bruce Bowen's book. Forearm that bitch to submission.

I want some nasty Kawhi!

[gilmor]

Kawhi and Patty homers are so much worse than Manu homers like myself or CoP members these days. :cry

So u shd see yourself bashing Kawhi next?
