If he starts killing them from deep, everything will open up again.
You said only one spot-up shooter. Patty and Manu playing together can't be two of them?
Anyway, Kawhi doesn't look confident in his stroke and his .30 3P% in the series indicates he shouldn't. Better not to spot-up him

Durant essentially played out of his mind like WestBrick did in Gm 4 of the 2014 series.

And they still needed ref help and scrubs to hit big shots just to pull away late. If we play to our level in Game 5 we will have a Game 1 all over again. It is really apparent who the better team is to this point but here we are 2-2. We really just need to put a good beatdown on them in Game 5 so they start asking themselves if they really want to come back for a possible Game 7.

LMA is playing big time minutes against a very strong front court. He has very little help from Duncan west and Diaw. He's been great at help defense though. Pop should play boban out there to bang with Adams/ibaka and take some pressure off him defensively down low.

Spurs haven't had a good offensive game as a team since Gm 1, they are due.

When his shots aren't falling he has been known to defer and hide himself in the shadows late in games. Not really a good defender or elite rebounder so if he's missing shots he gets discouraged easily
:wow
