If he wants to volunteer his ass to be next in the long line of those clowned by Da Klaw, then by all means let him step right up.
Matt Barnes said this before game 2 and last night he got a lot more than he bargained for.
Be careful what you ask for.

I don't understand why the Clips stopped doubling Kawhi after it went so well for them in Game 1. Leonard better be ready for doubles all game long in game 4. Pace and space and burn that D for having to double!
They don't have anybody who can guard him one on one. Double team is there best bet. They did it a few times last night, and kawhi quickly passed the ball out and I believe someone was open for a shot.
I'd take Barnes on the Spurs any day of the week
He got doubled on the catch at times in the third quarter, but mostly dribbled out of it and made a play.
I tend to think doubles will help the Spurs offense over the long haul.
he made barnes look like a midget tbh, even when he had perfect positioning and timing, kawhi was just shooting over him no problem..
obviously, every time someone is doubled, if the team can pass, it's a wide open three.
They should hang another "Rodeo of the Year" banner from the rafters just for the clown academy Kawhi put Barnes through last night tbh
i don't think double team on Kawhi is a good option for game 4 for the clippers tbh
first of all Kawhi and the coaches must have worked that a lot after game 1 and second at home our shooters are much more efficient. They probably should try it again in LA but in our house, bad idea imo
The Spurs stopped putting him on the low block. They are letting him attack from on the perimeter. Clips can't double as effectively when he can see them coming and dribble away or swing the ball.
Not surprised. Thats a defenders mentality.
Ya, that was surprising to me too. They finally started doing it in the 4th quarter in game three, and Kawhi did a lot of dribbling back out to the top of the key. Since they're back home, everybody seems to be shooting better, which'll help make the Clips pay. But it'll be interesting to see what adjustments the Clips make for game 4.
poor man's SJAX tbh...
Barnes gets what his big mouth asked for.
Very Very Very poor tbh.
Basically a homeless man's SJAX![]()
More like Bogans, tbh...
He doesn't have the size to guard him at all, 225lb SF's won't cut it against Leonard, haven't seen a single guy at that weight that has been able to impede the separation he creates from bodily contact. Only guys that can effectively deny him position are big men and those super athletic SF/PF's that are like 240-250 which are few, and aren't very good.
No the clippers didnt stop doubling kawhi
kawhi just hurt them off the dribble, clippers only doubled when leonard was on the post
Paul George, Lebron, Green (Drumond), Can all match him physically, and Durant can hold him in check with his length.
No one will be able to guard kawhi in the next few years. Just don't see it.
well, who else is supposed to guard him?
