These things happen...

i think this is very fine hair splitting. The only guy on Kawhi's team that produced as well was Siakam. Kawhi led every game except for one in points, and he had good efficiency throughout. He had a Russ heroball type boxsxore, but i think even Russ wouldnt get the type of outcome that Kawhi got. Also if this series were played out with DeRozan Philly would have beaten them with brute talent.
