We'll he is gonna have a lot of time though.

Nice team win. Pretty much everyone involved, even Porker. Added bonus -- some garbage time for Murray.

Just remember: the more time he needs, the more time we're gonna have to see Porker on the floor.

Just use him like the Cripples used Austin Rivers in the 2015 postseason.

Much like Kirby he's charming around the media and knows how to say the right things about becoming more of a facilitator, but he's still the same hero he's always been. His offensive production going down is bc he's broken down not because he suddenly became a team guy.

not sure there's a team he'll pop a boner for like Auscrub does when he sees the Spurs tho...

**SpurPadre** · 12-25-2016

Nice little showcase on primetime by Murray.

**Nathan89** · 12-25-2016

I didn't watch but Jimmy must be one of the easier covers for Kawhi out all the good wings. He's not quick enough, long enough, and he can't shoot good enough.

He had a better series against the Rockets in 2015 & was carrying the Cripples against the Blazers after Choke-P3/Blake got injured.

It's more that Kawhi gets up for game against him. We usually see Kawhi's best regular season performances against the likes of Lebron/Durant/Butler/PG/etc.

That whole Clippers team played well against the Rockets until they went up 3-1 tbh, it wasnt exclusively him, and as we've seen from Portland anyone can look like a star against their backcourt's defense. Portland may, in fact, be the team he tends to play well against since he's from Seattle; prolly hates them with a passion.
