Why does Pop keep putting Kawhi on Ellis?

[testies]

I already schooled your old ass last year, DEMANDING you to put Green on him, saving the series.

Now you do this again?

Just give the keys to Messina, much smarter coach by default (he's euro)

[TheGreatYacht]

Pop is saving his best (Green) defender for the playoffs, tbh

Being European doesn't make you smarter at bball. Enrique and Marco are both Euro and they have some of the lowest bball IQ on this team.

[loveforthegame]

Pop needs to do a better job of switching him and Green on Ellis. Mix it up.

That's all we got. Our pgs are useless on him.

Enrique is american though.

He just can't guard smaller players, something Bruce was able to do...

Alexey Shved, Monta Ellis... To name a few

I see Roberto is done with his 3 whoppers, lol

No one on the Spurs can stop explosive point guards. Spurs get destroyed by Ellis, Westbrook, and Irving on a regular basis. Doesn't matter who is on them, Green or Leonard.

[K...]

MAvs were just more motivated. This is their season right here since they are first round fodder. We'll kick there asses hard next time.

Exactly. But some just want to put all the blame on Leonard.

maybe because they are explosive point guards? Who can guard a hot Irving, Westbrook, et cetera

Pop should put Green on quicker guards and let Kawhi guard Chandler/help and disrupt. I get switching late game if Green is struggling, I don't like Pop putting Kawhi on someone like Ellis all game.
