The Spurs offense is entirely Leonard with some Tony Parker picking up trash.

Which should be his day job.

I wonder if Kawhi is going to be ready for the minutes he's about to get. He got a lot of minutes for a game that wasn't competitive in the fourth.

If the Thunder can't win with Westbrook and Roberson being 7/13 from 3's, they have no chance in the series.

Harden is also 1/7 from 3.

Patty Mills loses the Spurs that game against a good team or a team not actively getting hosed by the refs.

Okay Fizdale, I'll explain it to you. When you get the foul call the shot doesn't count as an attempt.

Conley should have gotten a tech too, but he didn't because of who he is.

Just so everyone is clear, it being a play on the ball does not matter. I don't think it's flagrant anyway because there's no wind up or follow through.

Man, I find watching basketball so stressful these days. I don't know what it is. I think it has something to do with the Spurs not winning a championship in forever.

And people still think the Spurs aren't all Kawhi.

I actually like David Lee a lot, he's been a great garbage man/energy guy.

Yeah it also let Gasol elbow Dedmon out of frustration and have him somehow pick up his second foul for it.

Now that Blake Griffin is hurt I think the Grizzlies have taken the thrown as whiniest team in the league. Fizdale doesn't even coach anymore.

What the gently caress is Patty Mills doing? He just willingly took that switch when Gasol was right there.

It really sucks to watch guys like Harden get those calls so easily and Kawhi still get them so inconsistently.

I don't know if you've noticed this but Kawhi's on the bench right now. This team is so bad.

Kawhi should have 8 more freethrows already. He keeps getting fouled on three pointers.

Tony Parker is unstoppable makes the man he's guarding also unstoppable. It's nice to see him score but I'd also rather have a point guard that can play defense in the game.

FREE BERTANS

I'm glad Bertans is in, the Spurs offense is totally broken without Kawhi doing everything, except for the occasional TP or Patty run. Bertans creates a lot of space.

Manu Ginobili literally cannot score a basket. It's sad to watch him try to draw fouls too.

Kawhi is getting killed by the hand checks on his drives. He's gotten better at putting up shots into it to draw a foul but the whistles on that play have been spotty so far.

Pau's getting so twisted on defense he's setting screens on Kawhi too.
