Fingers crossed. Hopefully it's Wesbrook vs Simmons.

Westbrook's defensive effort is atrocious. This is a tight playoff game. Also, Van Gundy shouldn't have been assigned to this series.

This is easily the best series if you go by game quality + team quality. Feels like a 2nd round series to be honest.

Why did Kawhi sit most of that quarter man? Could have built a lead.

Put back by Jokic. Simply unstoppable in the paint area.
