The defense can't stop Kawhi...but it has to try. This is the playoffs! Get aggressive. Play the ball! Too many times the defense pulls off the ball only to give an easy lane to the basket. The defense CAN stop PG by playing him tight and hard. Get into his mind. He will implode...but it's best not to let him get started.
With one head butt, and possibly an elbow to Luca's neck, Marcus Morris has done his job for the Clippers. Somebody needs to get aggressive with Morris. Foul him out! He can't keep from getting techs if you play him tight...with force.
On offense: Take the 3 point shot when OPEN, but don't force it. Get a lot more aggressive when driving to the basket. Take more shots in the paint. Make the damn free throws! Somebody needs to tell THJ that not even Baryshnikov could get a basket while doing a pirouette and/or jumping around like a kangaroo rat. Face the basket and take the shot. Just a little judicial shot selection will do wonders for THJ.
Luka isn't getting any support. You can't win a championship by milling about on the 3 point line and depending solely on Luka to generate offense. We have a one dimensional offense. This game plan has to be on the coaches...
Again...this is the playoffs. If a player is hot (Luka) and has the entire team hitting on all cylinders...play him the entire quarter. Don't kill the surge/streak by pulling him out. He (Luka) can rest at the beginning of the next quarter.
Expand the rotation a bit. Green should be playing some meaningful minutes...if only for the athleticism, effort, and energy. A coach can't pull a player who hasn't play any minutes out of the hat (bench) and expect him to hit the floor running. It takes playing time to...play.
Attitude. Without a healthy Luka the team looks discouraged. The coaches need to come up with a game plan that will at least give the team hope and confidence.
Attitude. ....I was going to write something about KP...to hell with it. I am still firmly in the "trade him for a bag of chips" camp. Not because he can't be a good player on his "own" team...but because he doesn't fit on a team with Luka. It's that simple.
