Why can't Kawhi get those calls when people just ram their chest into him on his drives? What does he have to do to get it called? It's still the weakest part of his game, it affects him way more than it should a star.

Kawhi just tried to plant on his right knee and didn't actually stop his momentum. I wonder how bad that knee is because that looked like it was useless.

I can't tell if the GS - HOU series is going to be awesome or terrible. I'm leaning toward terrible.

It still blows my mind that the Spurs designed their team to go big and punish small ball teams but they have trouble out rebounding and can't score in the post when teams actually go small.

The Rockets actually have some pretty strong guard rebounders.

I also wonder if there's anything to that longer shots = longer bounces that are more likely to result in ORBs theory.

I don't get why the Spurs don't go to the Gasol pick and pop. That's an incredibly valuable tool and it's just disappeared.

He has 9 shots, this isn't abnormal.

He definitely had something up with his knee there.

rockets look like they've wrangled control of the game by the close of the half

2pt game though, so that's good for the spurs

been fun so far

goodness how different this series would be with tony

vet slashing and dishing is exactly what the spurs need

glad to see simmons being given some burn as a pg

we'll see how the second half goes

remember: spurs suck in the third
