Blake Griffin is a hell of a passer off the dribble for a big man. That is such a tough play to defend when Griffin is rolling down the lane from the FT line area off a PnR with D.Jordan lurking along the baseline.

I remember the 2008 playoff series between CP3's Hornets and the Spurs. Popovich won that series when he switched Bruce Bowen off of CP3 and onto Peja Stojakovic.

Popovich conceded Paul's & West's offense but took Peja (their third scorer) out of the series and stayed at home as much as possible on rest of supporting cast. Made NOH play 2 on 5. Paul was incredible in that series. David West very good as well. But San Antonio ripped off 4 straight wins after losing the first two games once Popovich made the switch.

The Kawhi on Redick seems to be similar strategy.

I thought that the Spurs won game 7 on the road in New Orleans, or am I confusing them with someone else?

You are right. Spurs won 4 of 5 after losing first 2.

Yup the Spurs won game 7 in New Orleans. Before getting manhandled by the Lakers in the West Finals. Before the Celtics dismantled the Lakers in the NBA Finals  ;D ;D ;D

Meh, volleyball spike blocks into the 3rd row that result in another Spurs possession that turned into points.

Duncan and Bogut usually block to their teammates which generally lead to fast break points.

Well, what a crappy day: a Clippers win, a Cavs win, and a C's loss.  :(

I've said it once and I'll say it again - Duncan and Ginobili should have called it quits and ridden off into the sunset after their demolition of Miami in the finals.  I mean, what better way to end your career?  Not only do you go out on top, but you emphatically avenge the loss of the 2013 championship series.  It just doesn't make sense to me.

They're ball players.  It's what they do.  I don't blame them one bit for not being ready to hang up the sneakers when they can still play at a high level.

Giannis off to a strong start. Fantastic defense. A couple of nice drives.

Pushing the team forward right now.

Nice pass by D-Rose to a cutting Pau for a layup.

Pau Gasol causing a lot of problems for Henson. Henson looks very uncomfortable trying to deal with Gasol. Gasol out-muscling and out-smarting Henson.

16-11 is the first quarter score of the Bucks/Bulls game. Since when did this become high school basketball? That Bulls offense is just a mess.

Chicago is fortunate to only be down by 5 right now.  Credit Milwaukee's good defense, but they've turned the ball over way too much and their offense is too methodical and stagnant.

Milwaukee has also missed a lot of easy shots.
