Tough start for him.

Guys like him just don’t show up in the playoffs often. One dimensional guys who score.

Yeah he looks off. When did he come back from injury? I suspect they're trying to play him through his recovery letting him find his shot and rhythm.

Powell was a big part of the Clippers not really missing Paul George. If he can't give you anything this is a different series from the projections.

Did Denver really have to fire Malone? It was literally just a bad 4/5 game stretch. Whose to say they wouldnt have come into the playoffs focused and ready to go

The entire franchise was miserable. It was past due.

SVG agrees with a bogus call that favors his brother's team?

I, for one, am shocked.

Playoff Kawhi is one of my favorite players of all-time to watch. Dude is surgical out there.

Kawhi is still basically Kobe/Jordan in the midrange. He's unguardable there.

Jesus give Kawhi some **** help man.
