The Athletic NBA Daily
Kawhi the best in the NBA? + The Pistons are here | Slam N Jam

You already saw your head coach get let go at a time no one lets their head coach go, especially going into the playoffs. It just means more when you feel the end of an era coming. Michael Malone was out here last year talking about they want to be like the Spurs win every other year. And Michael not even there anymore. So it just hits different when your mortality as a unit is showing itself.

you still got to play them hard. I feel like this is an old team and this is a team that, you know, when it comes to Kawhi, everyone's going to hold their breath until that dude keeps getting up and, and, you know, uh, keeps, keeps putting the uniform on. Like we just, we've, that's what you've seen in the, in the surround Lou era.

You've seen these guys not finish playoff series, uh, with their best team. Um, I think that there are still plenty of guys who just not playing their best right now or haven't quite found their rhythm. Bogdan Bogdanovich hasn't had a good game in a couple weeks now. And he's their sixth man. Ben Simmons is a guy who... I literally wrote a story earlier this week.

It's like that dude has one bucket, and that one bucket was like, yeah, that bucket mattered. I mean, when you're talking about if this series is going to be close, they need guys to hit those shots. Derrick Jones Jr. hit shots last night. That was a big difference. Derrick Jones Jr. outscored the entire Denver bench by himself.

If Derrick is going to score, then that's a big thing, but Derrick isn't going to score every game. Chris Dunn, he's another one where it's like you're going to play some exotic defenses almost predicated on leaving Chris Dunn open or being okay even if he makes a shot or two. And that's a gamble, but it's like that's where you're playing. And I think the final piece is Norm.

Like, again, if Norm's going to be inefficient, that gives you a chance to win. Denver won game one. They had a chance to win game two. Norm just – Norm, I think, was woken up by Jamal Murray picking him up like he was a child at the playground. Time to go home. Now Norman Powell's locked in, like the champion that he is. You know, Norman Powell is the kind of player who understands sacrifice.
