Now if he'd do the same for Leonard.
Wow, Id think averaging 26.2 per game would be top 5.
Now if he'd do the same for Leonard.
One of the reasons these games have been so close is us getting out rebounded. It is also very hard to have a good defense without defensive rebounding. It seemed like there was a concerted effort to push the ball, so much so that more than a couple of times people forgot the ball. We need more of a team rebounding effort to make up for Tim's absence. Kawhi can definitely help more in this department and he can still push the ball. I hope we make the adjustment.
Thanks for sharing all these BatManu!
This will go unheralded for Ray unless I mention it bc he wasn't scoring or having highlights but that unit that made a run had Patty/Ray/Danny/Kyle/D.West. Patty got super hot like we all know he can do (but hasn't done often in the season), and Kyle had several plays for other guys as well as getting aggresive for himself, but the defense in that stretch was better than with other groups bc guys were switching and communicating generally well, and Ray Mc did an outstanding job on Victor Oladipo.
That is good news for our PG situation.
don't really like taking photos during the game but caught that david west dunk last night. was sitting a few rows ahead of the iceman.
What I've always noticed when Ray has played is that he CAN defend...which is rare for somebody coming from the Kings
His athletism is also quite underrated and he's generally a good scorer
He still struggles running the offense and sending him to Austin every now and then to improve that part of his game is the best thing to do
I see potential in him and I think he could develop into a pretty nice player
In our team, I see him playing off other guys. Ray was just terrible and inadequate running an NBA offense earlier in the season, but the dleague has helped him to learn to play off others and off the ball. I like him in that role, which he can do well bc he is not afraid to shoot from 3 and is athletic enough to cut quick to the basket. He doesn't have length, but is a strong guard, not slim by any means, and he's dedicated on defense. I liked what I saw from him. But I like him off the ball and picking his spots like he did in the ORL game, when Kyle was the one really directing the offense.What I've always noticed when Ray has played is that he CAN defend...which is rare for somebody coming from the Kings

a true Spur.
Now him becoming Patty Mills with better defense would help us immensely,he has like 30 games to do it
Green guarded Durant for like 2 games. Kawhitstorm
nice seats!don't really like taking photos during the game but caught that david west dunk last night. was sitting a few rows ahead of the iceman.
Kawhi switched onto Westbrook for an EXTENDED period in Gm 5 (b/c Danny got his lunch eaten in Gm 3/4), the first play being Westbrook driving down the lane for a highlight dunk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uu4-OKnmDw. At the end of Gm 6, Kawhi switched back onto Durant:

You stupid .
LOOK WHO’S GUARDING WESTBROOK
Just in case anyone is wondering Russell Westbrook’s status as a ballplayer, don’t forget what Popovich did in Game 5. Pop assigned his best defender, Kawhi Leonard, a prototype on slowing Durant, to guard Westbrook. And the Spurs stayed with that for much of the game.
Think about that. The Spurs were willing to take their chances with Danny Green or even Ginobili on Durant, and ask Leonard to curtail Westbrook.
The maneuver worked to some degree, in this way. Westbrook got up just 12 shots in 30:48. He still played superbly – 21 points on 6-of-12 shooting, seven assists, three steals, four rebounds. But the way Westbrook is playing, more than 12 shots wouldn’t be a bad thing.

That's the Kawhi treatment if I've ever seen it.
Getting blown out they don't play the fourth.
No 2012 repeat.
Kawhi was the MVP of game 5 tbh.
Look man. This is old news. You can't change history.
WTF are you talking about?You stupid .

All I stated was that DANNY got his lunch eaten by Westbrook in Gm 3/4 thus Pop made the switch in Gm 5 & I REMEMBER it b/c Westbrook drove down the lane for a dunk the moment Kawhi switched onto him. I also clearly remember Durant fumbling the ball w/ switched back onto him at the END of Gm 6.
You need to work on your reading comprehension b/c you are posting with your emotions.......as always.
Chinook still has his panties in bunches b/c I insulted his boyfriend (Danny)
