    Let's hope for the best. Injuries down the stretch have caused difficulties for us.

    I think I feel a bit more comfortable with CP3 on KD than Curry on on Harden. Actually, a big bit.

    That hard foul right into Luc's shoulder... if he's not feeling any lasting pain, it's confident builder.

    Actually CP3 has guarded Durant in the playoffs before and did a solid job.

    I know it seems like a big mismatch but in the past Paul held his own.

    Not to mention I trust harden on the block defensively significantly more than the perimeter chasing klay/Steph.

    Contested Durant long 2s are much preferable than open 3s from curry and klay.

    So, let ariza and luc chase those two around. We have seen this series ariza is so good and smart to stay with Donovan without ruining the integrity of the switching scheme. I’m sure luc is the same.

    He's 1-8 this series, but I'm okay as long as he gets his rhythm before next round.

    Luc has been solid defensively. And that is what the team needs most. If noting else, you can feel more assured when he is in the game versus Gerald Green who loses assignments.

    Offensively, Luc looks a bit hesitant. But he probably is being extra cautious because he knows the team is counting on him in the next round for his defense. He doesn't want to let the team down by not being available.

    I take Luc's 1-8 over Gerald Green's 3-8 any day of the week.

    He needs all of Geralds minutes because Gerald can't defend. It is as bad as it gets.

    He made the first one he took and that was it.

    I soil myself every time I see that thread title nestled into more recent ones.
