  1. mann with all these screens and picks it's soo hard to play one on one defense nowadays…you can't just put kawhi on their best offensive scorer anymore cause they'll just set a screen…coaching defense is tough…not sure how to guard today's offense…we're gonna just have to switch everything and everyone is gonna have to be able to defend all positions I guess

  2. Was it just me, or did practically every Leonard basket come on an uncontested shot? Ingram's shots were crazy though…

  3. U gotta love stars playing their best in a back and forth matchup in a game this important. Great game

  4. What a battle it was between these two GUARDS! Two guys who definitely play the GUARD position. Mmm hmm.

  5. Raptors played great coz they play consistent with Kawhi in just one season,,,
    But LaC can't even play good, consistent with Kawhi in the past seasons till now why????

  6. I’m so glad Ingram worked out Zion needs to go I wish we got the 1st overall pick in 2020 and got Anthony Edwards why we had to get the fat guy who plays 10 games a year

  7. BI showed he can go toe to toe againts elite players like Kawhi, this is the battle of midrange God
