Regarding the discussion surrounding Powell's defense:
I have given the guy a hard time for years and I have to admit, after watching him live against the Warriors, I have to retract a bit. This was the first time I sat baseline which is a totally different angle (obviously) and he looked way better on defense, than I would have expected. He is really active, communicating and fighting. So I kind of buy into the narrative, that he often lookes bad because of being so active and helpful on defense in the first place.
