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

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 โ€“ 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.

He understands that, hey, like, you might not be in the role that you were in before Kawhi got going. You know, Norm got hurt. Norm just missed an all-star, you know, selection. Everyone was questioning if he was going to make the right plays and understand that you got to do different things. You can't just shoot every shot. Well... Norm is cutting. Norm is defending.

Norm is getting his hands in the passing lanes. He's finishing in transition. Like Norman Powell playing well is the difference between a close game and a blowout. I think Denver saw that. There are weaknesses. And I think it's always a weakness when you're like, man, this guy playing well is the difference between winning and losing.
