    Kawhi is scoring 32ppg on .744 TS%. Good lord. Hopefully he'll regress hard against us.

    I was going to bring this up. Scoring that much that efficiently with such high usage rate is unreal. I hope this is unsustainable small sample size.

    He would need to shoot like Russ to get it down to his normal efficiency.

    Yeah, the problem is, he doesn't have Westbrook's ego to play hero ball if he's not hot.

    In that epic Game 4, it was clear that the Spurs wanted him to dominate. And he did. I've been wondering what if he didn't hit those shots? Would they go away from him, say giving the ball to Aldridge instead?

    I'm not sure, this is new territory for the Spurs. I've never seen a Pop coached Spurs team depend so much on one player. It's interesting.

    Here's hoping for a Game 7 that will keep both teams occupied for another 2 days.

    I will be cheering like crazy for the Grizz tonight. At least, extend SA to game seven. What I really want is for Utah and Memphis to "plow the road" to the finals.

    If law of averages kicks in Leonard should be shooting like **** against the Rockets while Anderson/Harden goes off.

    Lets go law of averages!

    Patty Mills... we should game plan for him if the Spurs win. He's the only player on that team that really worries me.

    Also... gotta love watching VC in his twilight.

    What is that....3 or 4 Kawhi ISOs in a row. Who says Popovich doesn't ISO?

    What this game ... especially come 4th. Kawhi is running the Harden ISO plays of two years ago that McHale gave him

    He's not a Matt Bonner lookalike, he's a godamn clone. 6'10 white ginger with he same exact hair and facial hair, lights out 3pt shooter who can't rebound or defend.

    Starting on a playoff team, no less. What a machine.

    It's an illusion. Black top, cut off at the underboob, with a yellow sports bra-like thing underneath.
