I don't see the point in consistently defending a guy in here that will always be hated.Quote:

He also did a good job of distributing when the traps came his way, as Leonard found Lowry slipping the screen which led to a layup for Gasol, and to Gasol wide open for three. Expect this level of production from Leonard throughout the playoffs, so long as Nurse actually lets him play."
About the last play where Kawhi "didn't play defense anymore"
Quote:
Marc Gasol had a great game overall in limiting Nikola Vucevic to 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting, but he made a mistake on the final possession by backing off D.J. Augustin on the game-winning three. Chalk that error down to instinct — the game plan all night called for Gasol to hang back with Vucevic, but with four seconds left, Gasol absolutely should have come out and ran Augustin off the line. To make matters worse, Gasol also clanked a wide-open corner three on the previous possession that would have given Toronto the lead

His shot may have been a little off but he didn't force the issue and finished with a team high +11 tonight. The slurpers will point to Lowry as the reason why Toronto lost but the truth was that Toronto was much better with him on the court than him off the court. Stats don't lie.
Danny was also solid tonight scoring in double digits and playing stellar defense. Gasol had a solid game too and completely shut down All Star Vucivic. Siakim played like a star tonight and really carried the Raptors early when nephew was struggling. It's a shame that his great game will be forgotten bc Kawhi decided like airballing a game tying 3.
Overall the blame goes on nephew. He played lackadaisical defense that didn't inspire any fear in Orlando. He didn't get any teammates involved offensively and didn't even try to play any semblance of defense on the game winner by Augustine. Nephew will continue to be protected by the media bc nobody cares about Toronto, but his intensity hasn't gone up at all in the playoffs like many slurpers here stated as gospel that it would. He has always been afraid to take the big shot in the playoffs. And that will probably continue the rest of his career.
Nice Carmelo Anthony regular season player though. I mean, Melo got max money back in the day so I don't see why the new Melo won't.
A "little off"...He scored zero points in a whole playoffs game!Quote:

We would kill LMA or any other starter if the Spurs lose and they finish without a single point.
So it's fine if Lowry missed ALL his shots in a playoffs game but Kawhi deserves "the blame" for missed a 3 when he already shot 3-5 .60 3p% this game.
What a joke...Kawhi started 4-4 and scored 11 points in the 1st quarter.Quote:

Don't lie.
Ygwhi is tireless man, and to what end? what is the point of all that work defending nephew here?Quote:

Exactly. He is no fool and quite articulate and selective in his interventions. Like the typical cowboy media journos out there, well trained to push a point relentlessly. Agenda / propaganda style.Quote:
