batman with an incredible perfomance carrying the load on offense all game long.
draymond with another masterful performance on D. he was clearly trying to prove a point after been negleted once again for the DPOY.
post couldn't shoot to save his life but he was a lion on the glass and on D.
kuminga meh, that was a great chance for him to step up but he looked he has regressed on most of his game. his drives look always off-balance, it looks like he doesn't have the proper footing and coordination when going at the rim. his footwork, his spin moves they looked like they did 4 years ago. that's why he cannot beat his man consistently and efficently, the power is there, the athleticismm is there, but power is nothing without control.
good games from GPII and hield but the team overall (except superm...I mean batman
) shot bad, honestly too bad considering many were open looks. even dray, I mean I understand he's not a "shooter" but he could have nailed at least 1 tree for a change, some of the shots he took in the first half especially were open. 14/45 from 3. at home. moody 1/5, podz 1/6, post 0/3, dray 0/4. the hell was that? I expect the dubs to have at least 1 game in this series where they nail the open looks and blow out those thugs out of the building. speaking of those thugs, the only negative note of the night is that none of them end up the game hurt. hopefully karma will take care of them (and the officials and that human gargoyle disguised as league commissioner who are the main culprits for allowing such display on a daily basis, this is not playing "tough" this is playing "dirty". but evbidently they can't tell the difference), they are unsportmanslike, even players like sengun and van vleet always go with the full weight of their bodies on other guys, there were a couple of situations where sengun could just put his body before podz trying to contest the drive instead he literally went on him with all his weight when he already drove past him for no reason, well the reason could only be one, to hurt him. some calling him clumsy, yeah right, that's not being clumsy, that's been dirty. there are levels in making a foul or play "physical", they always go to the limits of what should be allowed in a contact (again, the officials are a bunch of pigs) and that's why they deserve to end up hurt. bad.
