I totally agree. I'm blown away and more than happy to admit I was wrong. I didn't think he ever had it in him, let alone so quickly in his development. Still a long way to go, even in this series because he will likely be dealing with double teams now but he has lifted the team and it's fans beyond imagination. Incredible.

Yeah, next step for him is to learn how to play againts double teams. The post up game should become a staple of his scoring for years to come. Right now he seems confused on what to do againts double teams. So often, he takes a dribble away from the double team and instead of passing out when the double team comes, he's passing out when the double team is scrambling to get back to their man. I'm glad we're not at a point where we're counting on him to manufacture shots for us every possession. Otherwise, his passing game will be exposed by double teams. I'm just really excited to see his offense now. I'm a huge Jordan fan, and to see shades of Jordan's game in Kawhi is just so awesome. Not to mention that Kawhi is being marketed by Team Jordan, and I'm sure he's getting tips from Jordan himself on those post moves.

Anyways, game 4 is huge. We stole one game in LA. We don't want to give them Homecourt Advantage back. We gotta protect our home. If we get game 4, it's over.

I'm so impressed by Kawhi's steady improvement.

I must admit, I used to think he would become an elite 3 and D role player, not someone who could become a major scoring option.

Pretty competitive first quarter. Tony Parker looks determined to make a difference this game. Paul and Jordan look locked in also.

You'd think we'd be down more if you weren't keeping score. Duncan, Tiago, and Blake look particularly tired. Next quarter will be a big one.

I don't understand this game. We are down five yet we are out rebounding them, have less turnovers, have shot more free throws with a better percentage, but yet we trail by 5.

Danny Green has not shown up at all tonight either.

We are being way too cute offensively. Move the ball and take the shot please.

It's uncanny. Maybe the universe is punishing us for all the hacks.

Time for CoJo to get some minutes on Paul next game. He is not a great offensive player and should not be putting up those numbers.

Danny Green, Tiago Splitter, missed free throws, it was pretty ugly. I never thought it'd be Austin Rivers killing us. They should've given Kawhi more touches before desperation. Instead Tony got to play hero ball and miss free throws.

Ugh. That was a very winnable game, Green and Splitter really need to step it up.

I don't have a good feeling about tonight. We forgot about being aggressive last game. If anyone can get it together and pull this one out it would be us but we need to play some better defense and make some free throws.
