I put this in the Game Thread, but I think I'll post the link here too as Lowe's breakdowns are some of the best write-ups you'll find. The article is too long and with too many pics/vids/gifs to just cut and paste so simply follow the link.

Again, Lowe keeping it simple: Kawhi needs to fucking step up..



They know how to do that. A lot of it comes down to Kawhi Leonard just playing better. When Oklahoma City shifted Durant to Danny Green, I expected Leonard to feast on both Roberson and Waiters. Nope. They stonewalled him. If they pull that again, the Thunder have something cooking.

Yup.. I don't expect another 40 point game from LMA

It's as simple as him settling for jumpers, remember when Monta Ellis "stonewalled" Kawhi in the 2014 series?:lol

He echoed what I said in this thread, tbh, saw the same thing I noticed..

OKC finally began double teaming Aldridge in the 2nd half of game 2, completely ignoring Parker off the ball..they went back to single coverage when Mills was in the game, though..

Good observations. If Patty shows up they'd be in real trouble.

Very good review by Lowe. Westbrook killed us in a variety of ways in PnR and PnP. The switching with Kawhi/LMA leaving LMA guarding Westbrook was intended to leave Kawhi guarding Ibaka who has been on fire. Very nice analysis and made me pay attention to things I had overlooked. Unfortunately it makes me concerned for our team bc Kawhi does indeed need to show up, as do the rest of the guys.
