probably the only positive from tonights game. When our big 3 hang them, Kawhi can be a decent star that can carry our team to a good 8th or 7th seed and maybe even 2nd round of the playoffs for years to come
Leonard looked great, tbh, one of the only players that played with confidence tonight..
Unfortunately, in a series against OKC, Leonard's minutes will always be a concern..
One of the very few positives of the game. Defense was there and played Durant about as well as you can.
Moved without the ball, kept attacking.
I know he had 3 fouls but I hate Pop sat him to start the 3rd.
When they took him out thats when things went Bad. I think he's the key to beat them
Kiwi is lucky Duralpha didn't drop 40+ on him. Kevin missed shots he usually makes.
Kawhi & Patty were the main positives tonight. Ol' sport definitely would have had a far better game then he was given but it's the cards you are dealt. On to the next game.
No surprise Kawhi can play at this level against Miami and OKC. The league is about length and mobility and versatility across the court. No sport for old slow centers or small point guards who can't even shoot a 3.
He'll be in foul trouble every game if we play OKC.
oh forgot about Danny Green
Dureff made Danny Green his
he was great, tbh... his development this season is showing... will go to battle confident any game with that guy
Kawhi was great. The rest of the gang, not so much.
Leonard is smart though. He knows how to play with fouls. He makes adjustments. Only picked up one more foul.
Agree and it was our worst defensive quarter. I don't want to argue against Pop but he sat Leonard and Splitter at the same time to start the 3rd. No defense, no rebounds, and put Belli instead of Kawhi...It didn't seem a good/smart move.
Reminded me of how he came up big in the Finals.
Hopefully his minutes go up. It's gonna be tough against those foul calls though.
Lost the game when he was benched coming out of the half. Easy call. That singular move made certain an okc victory.
Benching Leonard to start the half was such a defeatist and cowardly move from Pop, tbh..
Essentially admitting that Durant would draw a foul early in the quarter..we all know it's a likely outcome, but still a weak move IMO..
he basically has no weak part to his game anymore, it's kind of scary how good he is, but we were supposed to sign a backup 3 exactly for this type of matchups. We can play Diaw and Daye at the three, but it's a very different team on offense then.
Oh yourself everything you got was given to you allnight long.
Anyone know Durant's stats when he was being guarded by Leonard?
idk but kawhi had him 1-7 early in the 1st/2nd iirc
Kawhi never ceases to amaze me. He got into a bit of foul trouble tonight, however.
but green and diaw didn't do nearly as well when they covered durant imo
I was watching his highlights from last night. He got blocked by Ibaka at the basket once but there's 3-4 moves he made where he got the shot off over him.
He used that one move he did against James in the finals where he drives, stops, spins around and shoots. This time it was a hook shot though. Would love to see him use that move more.
Liking the attack, behind the back, and attack he's using more too.
I know the defense wasn't focused on him like Parker or Mills, but he was able to dribble and drive and not look like a fool doing it.
