Problem is they have a barrage of 3 pointers too. We have to avoid letting Morris, Bev, Kennard, Jackson having a bunch of threes. Rondo will also inexplicably shoot 50% from three against us.
Royce has to stay out of foul trouble. Don has to have a few supernova games. Joe has to be good at basketball again. JC needs to give us a couple flamethrower games and avoid the dumpster fire games. Mike needs to be healthy and play in 4-5 games. Rudy also has to have his most dominant playoff series. Unless they **** the bed (which is possible) we need a few outlier series from guys to beat this team.
People are sleeping on this team because they the Clips and Playoff Pee... but they are very good. Kawhi is capable of getting to that MVP type level. Their roster is so malleable... I expect Bev to be back and hound DM this series... guy wasn't even in the rotation end of last series. They have like 3-4 guys outside of PG and Kawhi that would be the second (maybe first) best perimeter defender on our team. They play unfocused sometimes and that is where we could have a huge advantage.
