    Kawhi's shoulders were constructed and synthesized to carry.

    WCS got more minutes than Boban, and was a -13 in +/-, compared to Boban's +5.

    Food for thought for Carlisle, for game 7.

    This.

    He doesn't necessarily need to increase bobans minutes but he got to cut wcs's minutes. Dude isn't very good at anything.

    I didn't get to watch until the 4th quarter. Why didn't Powell or Boban play more?

    Mind you this was against a full strength Warriors with KD dropping 46.

    I hate LA more than I hate Dallas. I would love to see both LA teams out of the playoffs.

    Mind you Harden is a career playoff loser. Kawhi has 2 rings.

    Let's go Kawhi'i. Dude is shooting 74% in Dallas and 48% in LaLa Land. Someone explain that.

    Big performances in elimination games carry more weight.

    No way man. Clippers fans are pretty non existent. Even if they won the chip, that city wouldn't wreck the town like they do when Lakers win. I can live with Clippers win. I can handle a Dallas team winning. **** that.

    When he had stacked teams and went up against a depleted Warriors team. Without those crutches he lost a 3-1 lead against an inferior team while putting up an atrocious game 7, and now has to force another game 7 and somehow avoid choking that one too just to avoid going out the first round like the other so called "better players".

    The body movement of Prozingis remind me of Yao.

    He's feeling pressure at home. The Mavs still have the edge. Kawhi had help from Reggie and PG. Playoff Rondo and interior offense/ defense is needed to carry LAC to victory.
    I have no love for LAC, but I want the Cubanities to be knocked out. Utah has a good chance of coming out of the WC. If the Nets make it to the finals, they will knock them out. That would bring great joy to me.

    You talk as if KD didn't get injured in our series. Harden had his chances with KD hurt. He choked in game 6. Kawhi took over time and time again when his team needed him the most.

    And Harden almost got eliminated by the inferior OKC and went like 4-17 in game 7.

    I don't really want to get into an analysis of Harden's clutch performances or lack thereof in the playoffs. The referenced game Harden shot 14-32 to score 41 points in game 3 at home. Good game. One that the team needed.

    It's not really on the same level as Kawhi's game today. No shame in that.

    I still don't really get why Porzingis isn't put on full blast.

    There needs to be more talk about second bananas. If Paul George can get crapped on by the media for not being 1b to Kawhi's 1a, Porzingis HAS to be talked about too.

    Dude was the least productive starter for the Mavs.
