Those pictures of the gasol's when younger are so cool. I think they both look older than they are in the face. Must be so crazy to play against your brother in an NBA playoff series like this.

So bizarre seeing traditional centers like Marc Gasol becoming knock down 3 point shooers.

You obviously don't watch a lot of games.

I watched just about every one of the Spurs 82 regular season games and know Kawhi's game inside out.

He looks awkward on the drive at time, he simply isn't a natural scorer so doesn't have flawless footwork.

But don't mistake awakardness for travels. He travels no more than the average player.

In other news, the guy I said during the preseason who should have called it a day, Ginobli hasn't hit a shot all series. 0-14. Should have Simmons out there instead.

That is Pop's biggest flaw. Living in the past and not willing to sit all time greats if they are done.


big fan of Kawhi and Giannis but they travel a bit, illegally moving pivot feet and sliding/steps. Ofc they are not the only ones, Lebron does it and so does Russ when he does his gallop dribble.

Almost makes you think that shooting 3's must not really be that hard - like dudes just decide to work on it over time and can eventually do it in the NBA - Marc Gasol wasn't always a 3 point shooter, right?

Also makes you wonder how Shaq could never fix his free throws.

It's not about his awkwardness but the number of steps that he takes. I've seen him travel relatively frequently.
Some get called, some don't. Some only show up in the L2M report, lol.

Anyway, I was just sharing my observation.

lol at people saying Spurs without kawhi would still be a 50 win team. This game should remind that only creator/playmaker would be Parker and 50 year old Manu playing 20mins a game.
