Dude actually put the ball on the ground and got to the hole a couple times too. Wasn't pretty but it ended in 4 pts :lol

Floppin' Fisher?:lmao LeBron/AK47/Josh Smith used to get a lot of transition blocks.

Dfish's flops were the best at stopping fast breaks. I remember seeing this guy destroy so many fastbreaks off of flops.

I've said it since his rookie year. I think Danny is the best solo transition defender I've ever seen. Whatever else he may be doing right or wrong at any point in a season, his instincts defending a fast break are incredible. He doesn't stop them all, of course, but that's a battle that the defender should almost never win. He causes way more than his share of misses.

Fisher's flopping on transition D was the best I've ever seen, tbh:lol..he also always seemed to guess correctly on which side the driving offensive player was going to take, it was very frustrating to watch from an anti-Lakers side..

Late in the game Danny made a layup, and the commentators said he traveled. For the life of me I didn't see three steps. But the commentators said it so confidently, I rewatched it a few times, but it was only two steps and just couldn't see what they were seeing.

Did anyone else see the same thing.

It was a hard angle. I still would call it legal.

It was a travel IMO, but Curry clearly fouled him on the drive before the steps..

Commentators need to stop trying to officiate. Call the game, not the fouls.

We are really blessed to have two perimeter defenders the quality of Leonard and Green. No other team in the league has that.

I hate ABC/ESPN coverage. Mike Breen is the only one from either entity worth listening to. TNT may have perennial human cold sore Reggie Miller, but at least they've got Marv Albert and Kevin Harlan.

The play in question happens at 4:00 in the second quarter; leonard is stripped. dRayomnd leads the break with 2 cutters bearing down on Danny. draymond slips it to Currycutter but Danny is square w/ steven by the time he receives the pass, having already cut off the passing lane to BRushcutter, and gets one of his 3 blocks on steven.
Results in Kawhi fast break dunk.

This. Wingstop is the biggest reason the Spurs have remained contenders the past five years.

Are you referring to this play? At 4:08, Kawhi tried to ISO against Green but got stripped that resulted to 4 on 1 defense on DGreen in which he blocked Curry that resulted in a fastbreak dunk by Kawhi. Awesome sequence tbh.

Yes that's the one. Just an amazing sequence.

Excellent defense by DG14 there. Jesus, you have the core of GS (minus Iggy) bearing down on you in a fast break situation, and you find a way to stop them from scoring? How is that even possible?
