If they lose this series their offseason will be interesting. Ideally you probably need a Donovan Mitchell or SGA (ironically) to pair with Kawhi… same way KD has Booker and LeBron had Little Mountain. But there aren’t many/any of those around.

We know PG is a very good all around player but not a reliable big time scorer nor a good 2nd ball handler. And while LAC has depth, it’s not always purposeful. i.e. Batum/Morris/RoCo but RoCo never plays.
Prob will try to sign kyriec

I think it was the Mavs game where they let Durant play out of the post and the ball was hopping around. Slight tweak is that CP3 gotta let some of those open 3s fly. And they also desperately need Cam Payne back which is sad to say
Yeah CP3 passed up a couple open 3's in the 4th.Don't understand why he's so hesitant.I believe he's shooting somewhere around 45% on open catch & shoot 3's.This is where only playing 8 games together becomes a detriment.It's an issue that should've been worked out in the regular season.

Yeah they just don’t have that continuity. You can actually see that sometimes they forget they even have KD and he’ll have no touches for a long stretch….then the lightbulb goes off and they give him the rock and he scores 10 straight with ease.

CP3 confidence is just gone right now. His mid range stopped falling so he stopped shooting from anywhere else. Hopefully him hitting those middies last night gets it back.

Our Bench is Bob Sura breh.

Whether we get bounced round 1 or get back to the Finals this is going to continue all Playoffs long.
Man the bench looked like it was coming together 2-3 weeks back.Had that 4 game stretch where they outscored the opposing teams bench by damn near 30 points every game.55-27 or something like that.TJ Warren, Terence Ross, and Cam Payne looked good out there.All of a sudden, TJ goes out with one of his mysterious injuries, and the bench turns back into a pumpkin.TJ hasn't been able to get back in the lineup since.Instead, we're getting a heavy dose of Landry Shamet :scust: ...I kinda understand the lack of PT for Terence Ross.Putrid defense & loves to shoot evertime he touch the ball.You just have to hope he's hot.I guess Monty's not willing to take that gamble.

Craig is now our J Crowder but he hits more then he misses

CP3 came back with a vengeance on a Scott Foster game at that. The monkey is off his back.

Shamet has no reason getting this many minutes. Especially over someone like Lee or Ross.

Payne is desperately needed. And a good Payne at that

Monty should go big and have both Bismarck and Landale on the floor to let some of our stars rest

Kawhii is all-world and miles better then PG13

If he played instead of PG in thar WC finals run we would’ve lost.

He’ll beat the double-team and kill you one-on-one. No stopping that. Just gotta make his life difficult. Put a body on him.
