Danny has been knocking them down so consistently, he drew more attention this game. He'll adjust. It will help if Tony has a better game, because he will get more wide open looks. It's ridiculous to throw him under the bus for one bad game.
My biggest concern is something stupid happening, and the Spurs getting someone injured. Durand caught Jax with an elbow to the nose. It was one of those sweeping shots that could have broken a nose. We've seen what happens when a player has to wear a mask.
Then, with 14 seconds left in the game, Parker was flying across the mid-court line with the ball. The Thunder wanted to intentionally foul, but Harden just kicked Tony's legs as he went by. It was another play that could have gotten a guy hurt. Parker managed to keep his feet, but those are the kinds of plays that can ruin a season.
If the Spurs stay healthy, I'll be surprised if this goes more than five games.
