If they put Batum on TP, we have to post up Lillard with Kawhi or run him through tons of screens with Danny Green.

Batum and Parker betting on the outcome. Isn't that illegal to do?

I think the Blazers would take that outcome over Parker raping the paint.

I think we'd be fine with sending the occasional double at someone posting up Lillard. I doubt Kawhi or Green are especially adept at dealing w/doubles, and if they're posting up then that means Duncan or Splitter (or both) are off the blocks) and neither is the fastest guy in the world (or will be out at the 3 pt line). Just don't leave Parker or Green open on the perimeter and let LMA occasionally double.

Dallas doubled Kawhi every time last series. The first few times it happened, I don't think Kawhi expected it, and made some boneheaded plays, but he's improved now. If you double, we just have to move to swing the ball and find the open man.
