was Monta Ellis the hardest player for us to guard all post season?
Best SG in the league, and its not even close.
He was pretty good vs us. But he is too small for his position and he gets beat on defense a lot. Double edge sword if you ask me.
I'm a big fan of Monta, but I was never as scared of him as I was of Durant or Lebron.
Wait westbrook was the best guard we played in the playoffs.
You're crazy.
He shot 40% from the field against us.
Ellis wasn't even particularly good against the Spurs, he just had a few big moments that created the perception that he killed the Spurs, tbh..
He's one of the most overrated players in the league..
Pop made it look that way by putting Kawhi on him and letting Duncan sink on the PnR. Green and Splitter wrecked him.
yeah, took pop a while to finally get it right. Can't remember how many times I yelled at my tv "telling" pop to put green on him.
Once Pop stopped experimenting with Leonard on Ellis, he was nothing special.
LeBron was the hardest player to guard, obviously.
He's good, and has a synergy with Dirk, but I've never seen him as any kind of real threat.
True! He shot like Messi shoots penalty shots in pressure situations! Good times.He shot 40% from the field against us.
Bigger question is how do you get a Mont-ay out of something spelled Monta as in Mon-tah?
Dallas was good collectively as a team, but Ellis was pretty superb. It's amazing how well they did considering Dirk has a sub-par series, all things considered.
Out of all players, though, I feel like Westbrook was the player that burned us most. He had some outstanding games and was unstoppable at times. You can definitely see the difference in the OKC team when he is on the floor.
That being said...his trying to take over the series undeniably takes opportunities away from the reigning MVP, and he eventually melted down to his chucking ways in Game 6, so I'm still not sold that Westbrook is a net positive for the Thunder tbh.
Westbrook and Durant are the hardest to guard.
He seemed better than he was cause he scored in bunches and he was their go-to guy down the stretch not named Dirk, but overall his numbers even out and his shooting % wasn't that great tbh.
"Favre" will blow your ing mind.
LeBron put up 28.2 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 4 apg on 57.1% shooting against us and you're really asking this?
If Westbrook didn't get the calls he gets, it would severely hamper his ability to score.
The problem is...he does get those calls.
Would have had 8-10 assists per if anyone else on the Heat could hit a shot. LeBron was a monster.
The best player against the Spurs in the playoffs, all things considered, was easily Dejuan Blair, in all honesty
DAMN RIGHT, not even close. Those two are superstars.
