Jessie Lopez

I noted it because it was weird to see, I don't want to use the word bullied, but basketball bullied, where he just was too strong for Butler. And you always assume Butler, in your head, he's like 6'9", 240. It gives you a chance.

Kawhi's like, oh, this is great. Jimmy Butler's on me. He's not afraid of him. He's not going to get in an alpha battle with him. He's just going to do his machine thing. The other piece was Zubats and Harden together. Harden's had this before because he had it on the Rockets with Dwight during the last kind of stages of Dwight's prime. And then Capella too.

But I mean, I'm talking big physical centers that are around the rim. And he really used Dwight. I mean, they made the 2015 West Finals. That team was good. I think what he's established with Zubats is... is pretty great. They're really attuned. They'll run that high screen at the very top, and then Zubats will roll down, and he's almost like a left tackle.

He's just kind of barreling at the guys, knocking guys over, and Harden always seems to know exactly where he is. I think they're really good. I was talking to a bunch of Clipper fans over the last couple days, and they were kind of deep down wondering if they were better off going to the seventh seed and winning the playing game and then playing Houston.

But the rub on that is you don't get the six days of rest for a Kawhi. So this worked out perfectly. I will say, I don't think it would have been a disaster for them if they fell to seven. I think this is worse for the Warriors because I don't think they want to put miles on these dudes. And I think it's creaky to begin with.

We've seen some games like they had that third and four last week and that Sunday game where Houston just annihilated them athletically and just seemed like they were 10 years younger than them. So now you're putting miles on them in the Tuesday game with Memphis. Now you're starting the playoffs. You just don't. It's just you're adding miles to a team that doesn't need miles.

Curry already looks, you know, I don't know how many injuries he's nursing at this point, but it's at least three.

It felt like he was taking over the game and then he didn't shoot again for a while.
