I would agree with this somewhat, but this Cavs team isn't the same as the other times. They have new pieces. I honestly don't understand why George Hill is starting and not Clarkson.

Especially defensively. Him and Murray shut shit down in the final quarter.

Huge win for the Spurs in a potential Finals preview!

They could have just flat out quit, but yet again they showed fight throughout the game and this time kept their composure down the stretch earning themselves a big/great win.

I think it's pretty clear that these guys are not going to give up. Kawhi needs to man up and get himself back on the court if he's healthy enough to do so.

They do know Kiwi isn't coming back based on what Pop said. It's up to them if they want to play in the playoffs. For the young Spurs especially it's a great opportunity. For the organization, besides playoff ticket sales, the opportunity that their young players are getting and the experience is valuable too and will help them decide how to reshape the roster in the future. Plus, the players in the roster should get valued higher playing for a playoff team. For Lamarcus it's an opportunity to get his name in consideration among the greats. None of the players have anything to win by tanking. So I don't expect them to lay down and "die." They have had issues closing games which is a problem that sometimes plagued younger teams. They may have turned a corner in that respect. Hopefully.

I have a newfound respect for Aldridge. Say what you want about his comments and how he needs the ball in his hands to be productive but regardless this year could have gone one of two ways for him and he's been everything we've needed him to be.

He's been great. If not for a weenie mid-20 year old, this team would have been a contender.

Obviously the whole Kawhi situation is frustrating, I don't really think we know enough about it though and maybe that part is his fault but I'm going to wait to see how everything unfolds over the next year before I place my blame.

the same here, it will be a great 3rd option for Kawhi and Lebron in the next season

Did anyone get a GIF of Kyle eating Jordan Clarkson's lunch 1x1? That was hilarious
