    Bring him on. As good as he is, he can only defend one guy at a time.

    Unlike Draymond Green, who can guard all 5!

    Don't count out the Grizzles just yet. Memphis still has some song and dance in them.

    Might not happen lol. Spurs and memphis have damn good defenses. We will see good defenses from here on out I think

    I honestly don't think that OKC has been that amazing defensively, our offensive efficiency is still really high and we score well after the 1st quarter

    OKC is able to bother us because they're so much faster and more athletic than we are...I'll give credit to Billy Donovan as well

    I should add, at least this is an article about the game, rather than the damn MVP discussion. Took them awhile to start talking playoff basketball.

    Let's close this thing out: however, I am not optimistic going forward. Unlikely that we can beat both SA and GS. If we do, I am very optimistic that we can beat anybody in the East including Cleveland and Boston. Our lack of disciplined defense will likely do the Rockets in. However, strange things can happen, like Utah upsets both the Clippers and GS, and we somehow outlast SA.
