Too bad that Diaw-West unit was so bad that it countered all the good of Tim + LMA.

Diaw was fat but we'll always still have 2014. West, meanwhile, just didn't have it that postseason but seems to turn back the clock 10 years whenever he comes in for the Warriors. What gives? Shooting like 70% from the field this year.

Warriors probably just put less responsibilities on him; just spot up and make your elbow shots. Probably even more open given he's like the 5th option a lot of the times.

This game worries me more than the Bulls game did, tbh. But I guess that's not saying much considering we beat the Bulls by however much it was.

That was essentially his role on the Spurs. He literally couldn't hit anything that Thunder series.

Also cutting as well as passing out of the high post.

He doesn't necessarily have more or less responsibilities; just a great fit on a better roster which leaves him with plenty of easy opportunities to contribute.

Less minutes at his age is probably a good thing, too.

No doubt. His role is perfect for him right now and it's showing.

Manu should rest this game and play against the T-Wolves tbh

Agreed. This Mavericks team is straight garbage. We could probably beat them with the last 6 players on our bench.

Kawhi is finished.

sorry to see Dirk on 2-12 Mavs at the bottom of the WC. He doesn't deserve this at the end of his career.

He's done, he should have stopped last year.

Dirk's never been a good defender, but he's literally a traffic cone on that end of the floor now. Worst defensive big in the league tbh. Might be time to call it a career after this season.

Yeah, I agree. It's really sad seeing Dirk play defense out there. I feel those knees are just paper thin, and he literally can't stay in front of anybody. His offense is still something good, still one of the most confident shooters in the league, sadly most players in the NBA would feast on him on the defensive end. This should really be his farewell season.

Spurs desperately need to keep winning, if we finish as the 6th seed again it’ll be another first round exit.
