    Yeah, he hurt his elbow on the foul, hopefully just a stinger.

    Anderson as the c on the pnr worries me. He just doesn't have the instincts for it.

    Looked like Simmons really smacked the sh*t outta his arms.

    Ryno is smart and sneaky. Playing good defense on LMA. Gets those off rebounds.nice

    This is how you know the media doesn't know anything about what they are talking about. Reggie Millers said Ariza is a playmaker off the dribble.

    Possibly the best quarter of the playoffs for Harden

    He didnt draw a double-team on skill. He was dribbling forever with his back to the basket and had no passing angle. Like vultures, others surrounded him for the steal.

    Pop trying to make Aldridge earn his paycheck may allow us to steal this game... Go Pop!

    i'm still trying to get over harlan saying he doesn't know if harden has scored on leonard. i mean there's not a ton of 1-on-1 in the nba these days so mano-a-mano is rare, but just as a general defender of harden he doesn't think he's been scored on in 4+ games? when harden is scoring pretty well? either the spurs forgot to put kawhi on harden or he's scoring on a good defender because he's a good...offender?

    He lets LMA walk backwards in to the paint before he even bodies him up. He needs to get stiff on him as soon as he catches the ball.

    They are really making Kawhi out to be this unstoppable defensive force. He's an amazing defender...but man, they make it seem like if he's guarding Harden then Harden won't score.
