Kahwi "Not that Good" Leonard ...
.
Easy to do when you don't even run the offense. Aldridge could drop 35 a game.

Must be nice to have 28 FTs in two games lol.. If someone like Harden had done this, everyone would be crying wolf.Kahwi "Not that Good" Leonard ...
During the Stern years, we used to be called a disgrace by him and his cronies.
Fuck that piece of shit.

Is it a surprise though? They have no one that can come close to guarding Kawhi and he has been pretty aggressive going to the rim, even with the double team, so I don't find it strange that he is getting to the line at will. I don't see any ticky tack fouls being called on him while shooting jumpers, for example.

Man, really? I'm no Warriors fan, but I have to question whether you actually watch games if you think Curry isn't one of the most no-call fouled players in the league. It's blatant and commonly accepted even among haters at this point.
He probably could if he were the focal point of the offense like Duncan was.

The Ringer - David Fizdale's 'Independence Day' Speech
I hope this Fizdale explosion is remembered for years to come
Duncan wasn't really the "focal point" of the Spurs offense when he was 31 years old, and the game was far more slow paced back then too. Add to that the fact that Duncan played many many minutes at center, something Aldridge doesn't really do, and was thus huge for their defense (not sure about LMA's defense, have heard different things, but he's certainly no Duncan)

Spurs don't want those perennial losers
Why do they have Aldridge then?
True, but a PG that can run the offense would be nice and that's not a knock on Tony he's just getting up in years (yes I know they are only three years apart in age). Anyway I trust pop and RC to snag a pg in the draft that can eventually start.

On one more shot attempt per game Kawi is scoring 17 more points a game shooting 30% better from the field then LMA in the playoffs.. LMA should be the focal point amirite...
I haven't been able to see many spurs games this season so I don't know how his development is going but I remember all the chatter when he came in. I'd still like the spurs to make serious pushes to the finals and not waste Leonard's youth. I'm just happy he's already got a ring and a fmvp under his belt now he needs an mvp trophy.
Sorry friend, it's time to give up that dream.

I wouldn't be surprised if part of what screws Curry when it comes to on-ball fouls is that he learned to fall to protect his ankles, and thus is always falling to some extent. But when he has that much less space, he also has to do that. Curry definitely gets hit pretty hard sometimes off the ball though.

Iggy was uncomfortable, back when he was with the Nuggets in the series against the Warriors, about how physical they were told to be on Curry. So there's definitely at least something there.
Impossible, Harden is taking us to the finals man.
You got all 3 of mine. I occasionally listen to Woj's podcast, but tbh, Woj is best at discussing trades and caps and FA signings, a lot of his other stuff is eeeehhh.
Road Trippin' is actually pretty great. I think Draymond had a podcast too, but I haven't checked it out much.
Are you watching the playoffs so far? This is the first time in 2 years that it looks like Tony has actually seriously been able to show up for the post-season with all that rest.
God damn playoffs having days in between. I'm starting to fear Parker again, especially if the Grizz get beaten in 4 or 5.
He keeps knocking down 3s that he's either left open for (defense sagging) or gets open for. That isn't fair. In two games, he's averaging 2.5/3.5 on 3 pointers (>70%), and is averaging 16.5 ppg. Only 23 mpg too, a career low for the playoffs
Seriously, I was NOT expecting Parker to actually have this sort of resurgence when I sorta-wrote the Spurs off. Two straight years of "Parker will be back in his form by the playoffs", only for him to look totally washed in the playoffs, and NOW is when he makes his resurgence.
He's being guarded by Conley too, one of the better defensive point guards in the game. I hope Bzdelick has a better plan for Kawhi than "put Ariza on him, but keep switching everything and have Bev. play help defense", because we might need Beverley to get into Parker's head a little.

Yup.
I looked at his last few weeks of the season, starting from about mid-March. Seems like there's been some sort of surge, although he looks totally different these past two games.

I mean, part of the reason Kawhi is getting so many FTs is that he has Vince Carter has his primary defender.

lol at Parker being back. Dude is going to get ripped in the next series and will get owned if they make the WCF.
Yeah, I linked the Marv Albert promo / character selection last night. Him and Brent Barry had a few words for the game, lol
I'm pretty sure he's not going to shoot 70% on 3s. Call me crazy.
Tony Parker making 3s would mean, yes, he's still probably effective. There's not exactly a long history of that. So if he's not making 3s and can't do his shenanigans at the rim like he used to, he's stuck with mid-range shots.

I hope Beverley keeps this up the entire series. Just pissing him off as much as possible.
There was a point in game 1, when Bev fouled Westbrook right past half court, and you looked at Russ and it seemed like he was trying to not get pissed off. I think it was TheRinger that had an article saying this, but there was a statement I recently saw that rings pretty true about WB (what happened to GAF calling him YNB btw?): he plays well when angry and fired up, but he plays badly and recklessly when annoyed (see last night, or any of the Thunder's games against the Warriors)
Mike Conley is one of the best defensive point guards in the league. I'm not saying he's back to being a major threat, but he's definitely having some sort of resurgence.
