Saw these bits on Grantland post the OKC game:
On Kawhi:
There were two separate moments when the Thunder had the ball on offense and Kawhi Leonard crawled inside of Durant’s body and stared out of his eyeballs. Nobody plays defense the way Kawhi Leonard plays defense. If he’s guarding you, you might as well go ahead and just pick up the ball and punt that bitch into the stands, because that’s the only way you’re going to keep him from getting it. Being guarded by Kawhi Leonard is no different than getting dropped into a casket full of anacondas. Being guarded by Kawhi Leonard is like being put inside of a bank vault filled with quick-set cement. Being guarded by Kawhi Leonard looks like an awful thing to experience, but it’s an amazing thing to watch. Kawhi Leonard is significant and important.
They are less complimentary on Kyle:
Kyle Anderson is slow AF. It’s almost funny how slow he is. This is not significant, nor is it important, and the only time it will be is when it costs the Spurs a meaningful game, at which point we will never see him again.
Obviously, disagree on KA.
