Great write-up Timvp! The emergence of Walker was awesome. You mentioned the team wanting him to take over, and I saw that in the players, too. This group needs an alpha dog, it's pretty obvious. LMA came here to be Duncan's little brother. DeRozan misses his buddy (and leader) Kyle Lowry. The team needs a leader and unfortunately our vets aren't really suited to that role.
You also mentioned Pop maybe running the guys a little longer than he should have, and tiring some folks out. I'd rather have him do that than yank people just to keep his rotation schedule intact. I don't really have a complaint with his subs utions this game, whereas sometimes I'm screaming about him killing a run by keeping his subs utions on track.
Great game. I'm reminded how much of the game is mental when you see how the team can up their game against Kawhi, or suddenly perform in this run against the Rockets.
