You are correct. He scored 41 against OKC in the playoffs 2 years ago. Guess Jordan meant Regular Season.

well, anyone with two eyes would also do it
"sauces" is right

great news about Kawhiiiiiii
:claw

It'll be tough beating the same team 2 games in a row, but I'm optimistic..

Lol at anyone in the media bringing up Lebron to SA. I like Lebron, but there is no way he would ever play here. Pop would never let him get away with the shit he has with CLE/MIA. Lebron is bigger than those teams, he is the most iconic player in the game, and Pop is not going to let someone have reigns over the organization like that and Lebron knows it. i think he respects SA/Pop but he will never fall in line and play under a system, he will always be bigger than whatever team he is on.

I've seen 2 hardcore Alphas (one a surfer, the other a wake-boarder) try to get together to help each other improve.
It ended up in fight after fight after fight and then it went to fists and they had to be broken up for good.

Where was I going?

definitely agree with this view.
I fully expect a disappointing summer for the spurfan who expects signings like this.

I hope more of our guys play well this game so we don't have to rely on LMA to put us on his back again. We need to play better D and rebound much better tonight - especially on the defensive boards. Grizz got far too many O-boards on Wednesday.

Where was I going?

I don't know where you were going.. but already this team appeared to not be big enough for Kawhi MVP and Lamarcus. See what I did there?

I have seen guys like Chris Bosh attest to how difficult it was for him to adjust, and not given enough credit. Love struggled equally. Kyrie was tired of Lebron's shadow.

It's rare to have stars who complement each other so well that infighting doesn't become an issue. I'd say Tim/Tony/Manu were a complement, GSW guys also complement each other very well. There have been others, typically legendary teams like the Celtics and Lakers of old... but to have a group like that is similar to lightning in a bottle and usually involves stars at different spots who complement each others' games so well that chemistry doesn't become a problem.

Eagerly awaiting to see how Kiwi and Lamarcus look together after this chat with Pop.

This is where Pop has to do IT. Time to live up to your aura: Bring LMA and Kawhi together in harmony and working at maximum efficiency.
I... man, I love Pop, having been a witness to Tark the Shark, that guy Redd McCombs hired from a crackhouse and that other dude that never got a real coaching job afterwards, trying to pathetically ruin David Robinson's career through the 90's, BUT- but... I'm not sure he's going to be able to figure this out. I hope he does, but...

I hope he does.

Cannonball!

If the Grizz go HAM from three again they win easily. If not the Spurs have a good shot, but they need more than LMA to show up.
