    Grabbed Kawhi's arm (just like he fouled KD in game 2 of the 2012 NBA Finals).

    But Kawhi outplayed him as usual. Lets see in the playoffs. Let's not think about what the Lakers did to Dallas last game of season they played but rather what happened in the playoffs in 2011. Also remember Brooklyn won 4-0 vs Miami in 2014 in the season as well.

    Early on in the game Kawhi got a clean strip on Lebron going up, Lebron wanted a foul and you could see Kawhi saying 'all ball' 'all ball'




    I think Lebron took it personal and made a effort to hone in Kawhi every possession after that

    16 points 31% FG hahahha

    Turning into 2000 Pippen whenever he sees Kawhi is getting old and never will win in playoffs. Maybe LeBron can actually man up offensively vs Kawhi for once and then we'll talk.

    This has to be very humbling for Kawhi. He wanted to dance with the best, but instead had to defer to George, as per usual. I can imagine him sitting out the next game in response, also as per usual.

    kawhi might need to take off the next three games after this loss rather than the usual two, don't want him to exert too much fuel

    Who ever said that. Hes been very good defensively this year. Hes been mediocre the last couple years before this though but it was never about his defensive capabilities. It was just about his effort. When he tries hes still one of the best

    Lebron doesn't play defense consistently. Thats the difference. DRose can lock down any pointguard when he wishes to, but he doesn't do that and goes through the motions for 90 percent of the game. Nobody considers him a great defender because of that. It was same with later career Kobe.

    Nobody ever doubted Lebron can play great defense at times. But unless you play good defense at all times, youre not a great defender. Simple
