Draymond getting 20 points on 80 percent shooting is just as fluky as Simmons getting 20 considering Draymond is career 41 percent shooter. I'm perfectly fine with Draymond getting 20 points as long as he's shooting his career average because that makes it into an inefficient 20.
Here's the thing about Draymond's shooting: Anything outside of 3 feet, you want to encourage him to take the shot. Last night, all of his 2P shots were dunks or put-backs. It's not surprising when any player shoots a high percentage on those shots. But he's not a dominant big man, who is in the middle creating all those dunks and put-backs. He's athletic, and he's on a team that spreads the floor like no other - so he's feasting. This year, he's shooting .166 on 2-pointers outside of 3 feet. And he's shooting .299 on his usually-wide-open 3-pointers. Put Draymond on just about any other team, and his offense get him maybe 5-7 points per night, most from clean-up duty on missed shots, and the occasional 3-pointer when the defense dares him to shoot.
That's just a fact. His career numbers say he can't shoot shit, unless he's right under the basket, or left alone at the 3P line. And even then, his 3P% is low enough that you live with it. So if he has 20+ on 80% shooting, you can bet that the other team was struggling to defend the perimeter, and letting him get free in the paint. So he goes 4-6 from the 3P line one night, instead of his normal 2-7, and yeah - he can shoot 80% and put up 20+ points. But if he was the SF on, say, the Clippers? He would totally be a fifth wheel on the offensive end.

Ginobili had 7 assists
but the #1 option was 5-13 with 13 points in a game 7 LMAO his opponent scored 17 pts hahaha career high maybe
Why does the box score cut off to not show Austin Rivers? Honestly I can't remember if that's the game he went off on us...
tbh we lost that series on a toss up shot by Chris Paul that was literally a quarter inch from being blocked by the DGOAT.

Also, that Clippers team would have seriously threatened Golden State that year had Chris Paul not gotten hurt in Game 7 vs. the Spurs. They were a really balanced team and Paul was playing fantastic...

I love this laker troll. What an annoyingly funny stretched out Draymond face.
And ultimately his point is somewhat valid. Spurs should perform better against the Clips.

It's because blake doesn't miss jumpers against us. But even losing that game big I never felt we were out of it. Fuck the clippers.

I really doubt, after the series against houston, it is proven that they are just a regular season team, at some point they will fail

Paul was hurt for the entirety of THAT series vs. Houston... I've no doubt in my mind that LA takes that series with the level Paul displayed vs. Spurs prior to getting hurt.
