SGA is playing great defense tonight, but Kawhi's just not going to be stopped.

Got worried it was a non contact play didn’t see the ankle until the replay. Don’t even risk it let Shamet and Reggie pick up some of the bench scoring slack

I'm glad its just an ankle all things considering. I thought the injury would be like a sprain knee or something

I don't think people will understand the concerns about zu until maybe the playoffs. I am hopefully wrong and that his lack of playoff experience will not be a problem in a deep run. That means we won the chip :D

But I will give it to him when its his night.


There is a lack of playoff experience and especially deep runs all over this roster

-Paul George has not been out of the first round since the 2013-14 season and only has first round experience in the west.

-Besides Kawhi Leonard, Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris no other rotation player has more than a one off second round playoff experience(Lou was in the second round twice).

Kawhi is the one with the championship experience and it’s one of the main reasons he’s the leader of the postseason. These guys won’t really know what they are doing until they do it because this will be new to all of them. Conference finals and NBA finals pressure will be a whole new level

I thought paul george made the eastern conference finals a few times? Maybe it was just one time. But these guys are seasoned nba players. Zu is kinda raw especially aagainst skilled centers.

all true

fortunately this is a wide-open year with no dynasty we have to knock off


nobody in the West is battle-tested except LeBron and Kawhi

and the Bucks are big favorites to come out of the East and they haven't been there either

Trezz said he's good to go but if we keep this lead, I say let him sit the rest of the game

Yeah that was the mentioned but that was many years ago and injuries. The west is a different battle ground and PG saw with Russ things can go left quickly.

The younger guys like Shamet and Zu will have some extra pressure because they don’t have the overall years but all these guys should feel some butterflies even PG

Zu, maybe... but we already know Playoff Shamet is no joke. Just ask the Warriors.

Difference between all out low expectations and a title run. On top of that Shamet is in greatly reduced role from starting with SGA. I’m not even sure Sham will be the first guard off the bench it might go to Reggie or back to Lou
