jrry32 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Just now, showtime said: Because he just quit on the play. First you said that Simmons quit chasing Leonard because he didn't want him to kick it to someone for an open shot. Now that you've realized that Simmons literally stood there, you're now saying it wouldn't make a difference. He quit on the play. Period. You can say whatever you want, but the video tells everything. You think Giannis would have just quit running right there and watch the play? Highly doubt it. I'm still saying that.

kyle21121 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Wow That game took about 20 years off my life. Jesus Christ. A full reverse of 2001. VC missed. Kawhi didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Seriously amazing the Raptors pulled that game with how scared some of those dudes were. Like Siakam was ALL TIME scared. This dude wouldn't even look at the rim on open looks and tried to get rid of the ball ASAP lol. Despite all that, Kawhi overcame it all to get it done.

Pascal has been pretty good in 10/12 playoff games this year I’m not worried about him moving forward. It’s the other guys sort of a mixed bag I need more consistency from them especially the bench although Serge turned it up free a horrible first few games this series were he looked absolutely unplayable. I wonder if OG will return this series if not. He’d be huge can’t really trust Norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle21121 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 This was really a wildly poor shooting game all around I’m not gonna take much from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't want to chase Kawhi and let him kick it back to another player for an open shot. He basically had to stop himself from tripping into Embiid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he still shies away from the limelight if he's ok, but you gotta factor that in. Going to be a great Easter Conference Finals - the best player on the planet right now vs. the most clutch player on the planet right now. Raptors won't win unless the supporting cast (especially the bench) doesn't help Kahwi out, though - but there's a path to get to the Finals, their D and other matchups besides Giannis make this a much tougher test than DET/BOS gave the Bucks. The NBA has gotten interesting again, with KD on the mend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmons couldn't do anything by chasing him. He handed him off to Embiid and played the passing lane. I'm not sure why Showtime is all over him for that. Embiid had a beautiful contest. Kawhi simply hit the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what was happening, they played it basically perfectly. I think I would have setup the inbounds defense a little bit different, but sometimes people just hot awesome shots.

Finally they make some adjustment and got Lowry on Butler on a switch. To be fair, two of their best players can't shoot and are postup guys. Which no other top team has this problem. Watching the last ~6 minutes of the game cause I switched over to GoT. Kawhi is freaken ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Still a minute to go for me. I think Philly actually didn't do too bad offensively so far. Brown called a nice play (the one where Lowry steals the ball on the pass to Embiid) ATO. Backdoor attempt by Harris, then a JJ double screen pindown by Embiid and Simmons so their guys can't help on the backcut then it flows into a Harris handoff. Thought that was a great call but Raps guarded it well. Maybe have Jimmy be the last option instead of Harris. Yeah Jimmy should've been the backdoor guy that goes to get driblle handoff. Harris did it lazily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
