    You can just see how frustrated he is that SA is specifically targeting him on defense every time in either 1 on 1 situations or in P&R, P&P, and he is unable to do anything about it. It's like we did with Harden in the first series-- that has to piss him off. The effort is there, but the smarts definitely are not. It's all a process I suppose. I really think a coach who goes through his defensive deficiencies specifically can help this summer.

    Yup. I really hope he focuses on defense this summer.

    I think Lillard is very awake. He's having an amazing playoffs. Playing against the Spurs and Parker is a masters class in taking things to the next level.

    His drive and kick for a three was great, want to see more of that. From Wes too dammit.

    All a learning process. Learning from the best team of the last 15 years. This has been a great series... we're not winning, but we're sure as hell learning. From a long distance standpoint, this is great for us.

    Tony Parker makes everyone look bad at defense, tbh fwiw.
