Pop ain't fucking around. :hat
He is srs
Great call. Also validating why they paid Green. Even without his great offensive output tonight. Was very active on D.
Serious discussion Slomo.
Green was a bargain. Everyone thought he would get paid more than he did.Quote:

Well, Danny playing like a boss on Durant allows Pop to stick with that too. Those two (DG/KL) are just so boss to have on your team :lol
Sure you can move him but that's for the future. His poor performance earlier this year affected them negatively more than any other player's performance. His defense is great but for the Spur's system to really work, he has to be able to knock down shots. He can't really take the ball to the bucket effectively and isn't a good mid range shooter. It's fantastic that he's got it going now. But he could have turned into Wes Matthews.Quote:

Sure, Durant and Westbrook will score more than 30 points combined next games. But having our two-time DPOY and the Spurs being #1 on D this season, make me feel confident about this series.Quote:

One game isn't enough to convince me this is the real Green. Loved his defense today as much as I loved that outside JQuote:

The biggest thing about putting kawhi on westbrook is that it eliminates the post up. Without his post up, he beomes a one dimensional scorer with only the drive to rely on becausr the spurs are gladly going to take a westbrook 3.
Which obviously shows how important Green is to this ball club. With Kawhi focused on Westbrook, The spurs still have another elite defensive wing to throw at Durant.
The only other offensive alternative the thunder have are the rolls and Ibaka shooting. Ibaka shot the ball well.
It's going to be tough for OKC to het open looks just because of the Kawhi-Green Dynamic.
No doubt. We get plenty of good looks. Capitalizing is what was missing. Spurs really don't play nearly as hard in the regular season. It's obvious even in the Memphis series.Quote:

Everyone knows westbrook can't shoot a J consistently to save his life!! Play off him and limit his penetration. Kawhi has almost no exploitable weakness's in his game.....amazing when you think about it. That best two way player designation is true rubbish.......

batum is not a 3 and D player in any way. He's their secondary ball handler and a known triple double threat, these players have a completely different price.Quote:

The reason that I hope that Leonard can stay on Westbrook is that Leonard is so much stronger than Green, and Westbrook is so much stronger than Green. Kawhi can match Westbrook's length and strength and speed, and he is, I believe, the only Spur who can. I hope that he doesn't get in foul trouble in OKC when the refs give the Thunder some home cooking.
Of course Kawhi beasted on westgod. Everyone watching the game knows stopping westgod is the key to their offense.Quote:
