10 FT for Kawhi- Just amazing
Never would have thought LMA was 50% from the field. He has the biggest room for improvement too IMO. He didn't handle pressure well, didn't make good decisions (when to pass or shoot) and missed some really good looks. He knows how they are going to play him now. He knows they are going to collapse when he's in the paint. He has to be ready to be aggressive and smart.
Pau got to the same exact spots Tim did - his shot looked solid but he rimmed out a few. I would like him to be a little more assertive when certain players on him (story of his career).
Great jolt from the bench and stark contrast in energy and style from the starters. Pop will have to find the right combo for when Kyle come out. Manu with the starters didn't look great, Simmons may be a great option.
Defense obviously wasn't great, but it was not terrible. This is a tough, tough game for a new team with the level of talent, shooting and switching being asked of them. Have to learn from it, communicate, and play the odds (running shooters off the 3pT line). Can't foul them though when it's time to rotate/scramble.
TO will be death against GS, especially with LMA/Gasol on the floor. It's literally impossible for them to get back if SA turns it over. Control the pace, value the ball and you will have a chance on defense (then don't lose focus on killing them on the glass: 30 to 17 advantage
!!!)
