Kawhi Leonard does an amazing job playing like "demented anger god" and looking like "dawww crap I forgot to do the dishes."

Reaction to Kawhi's Blazers series:

How did the Rockets get beat in 6 games by this team? Spurs win in 5 games by an average of 19.5 points.

Woof.

It's going to be OKC. But who were you looking forward to playing/not looking forward to playing?
For me I would have LOVE to play the Clippers in the WCF. I feel like we would smoke them and then they would just crumble into a state farm, kia commercial.

Like Kawhi said at the podium last night: "I'd rather play the best team."

Game 1 will either be Monday or Wednesday depending on the outcome in OKC/LAC tonight.

If Kawhi plays anything close to how he did tonight for the rest of the playoffs this team won't be stopped. That steal/dribble thru 2 players/pickup the ball with one hand and slam play was just insane, I thought I was watching Lebron for a minute there. #freak

Certainly prefer the Clips as they simply can't handle a team that plays as disciplined as the Spurs do and would be lucky to win a game. At a minimum I am hoping the Clips win Game 6 to force that series to stretch out to 7.

OKC is vulnerable and really not playing that great. They are still dangerous though. If Parker is ok then honestly I think the Spurs are in the driver's seat to take the Title. Leonard's play just puts them over the top.

If the Spurs shooters get hot and OKC has a couple of off nights like they have in their Clippers series, Spurs will absolutely be capable of winning. The only thing is, Spurs will have to score 110+ to win games in that series.

Losing Mo Williams was a big hit for the team. But don't think that it cost them the series. Would have went 6 max.

Whatever "aborigine potion" Paddy took during the off season, Ill have some.

I've noticed them doing that signal after Kawhi's big plays. Even Timmy does it sometimes.

I've been known to do The Hand alone in my own living room.

Honest question for those that have been watching the playoffs this year (I haven't): How did Portland make such quick work of a talented Houston team and then be so terrible against San Antonio. Also, how did that old Dallas squad give the Spurs so much trouble then the young Portland squad get trounced?

Houston doesn't play defense (the majority of Portland's shots were uncontested) and isn't much deeper than Portland. Dallas is deep with a number of players that have unique strengths and a great coach who can turn them into more than the sum of the whole. San Antonio didn't really lock into playoff mode until game 7 of the first round. SA has the depth to run Portland ragged and the defense to contest almost every shot.

Because San Antonio is dang good!!! They would have done the same thing to the Mavs had Dallas not made an uncanny high % of contested shots.

But Portland didn't play good defense. If I recall, the Rockets scored a lot on them as well. San Antonio flat out lit them up. The scored 110+ at least 3 times in the series, and that was typically with back-ups playing half the 4th quarter. San Antonio, as opposed to Houston, did all that damage on the offensive end and still played really good defense.

Speaking of which, "Griffin Force" commercials are the worst ad campaign ever. Someone needs to be fired.

The cliff Paul ones are way worse

Yep, the west finals have been posting towards Spurs vs OKC for a while now. Can't stand those guys. Durant is a perfectly fine human being, better than most I hear, but it's extremely annoying when he can make shots with his eyes closed.

Westbrook is the worst. Dude can't go 2 minutes without acting like a clown.

It's going to be sweet when we knock them out.

I really like Durant. If he didn't play for the Thunder and didn't play the Spurs so often, I would like him even more, and the Thunder too. They are probably my next favorite team in the NBA.

With that said, I dislike Westbrook and hope we absolutely embarrass the **** out of the Thunder this series.

Durant is just like the rest of the superstars. He will wanna leave OKC if they aren't winning and he acts just the same as others that y'all don't like. He also gets every foul call out there, and that makes me dislike him.

Let's not kid ourselves, if the Spurs were to get him, we'd love him. The fact that he's a sip be damned.

So you dislike all the league's top players?

Hmmm nice reply. I don't know how I could word that differently to convey what I want. What I'm trying to say is that he's not really a better person than the rest like many including jr15 believe, so if that's y'all's reason for liking him, then it is not really valid. Everybody thinks he's so humble and ****. I will gladly take him on the rockets and love it if he jumps ship, however.

I dunno. He's easier to tolerate than Kobe or LeBron to me. He doesn't say a lot of dumb ****. If Durant has "The Decision II" on ESPN when/if he leaves OKC, then I guess I'll start to dislike him.

He does get an annoying amount of foul calls. Which is why I hate when he plays against the Spurs.

Less emotion than Duncan.

Grade 1 strain for Parker. Says it's not that bad and he will be able to play. For comparisons sake, he suffered a grade 2 strain of the hamstring during game 3 of the nba finals last year. He should be alright.

Hope clips win tonight to give him a couple extra days rest though.

This hurts me more than it hurts you.

Kawhi looks like he is holding my kids' ball there, his hand just engulfs it.
