They are a little rough around the edges but the pairing has some potential and may not be the horrible pairing we thought we saw in game one.
Maxi has the most difficult task. He is a PF/C and has to guard one of the best iso scorers in the league for 30+ minutes.
- Maxi had a play where he was near to the baseline aggressively set to post up Morris (or PG?) which seem strange to me because thats NOT his playing style to demand the ball, Luka pass up to DFS instead.
- Maxi got bench and as soon as he sat down kick the banner in front, like he wasn't happy with his play.
- Maxi didn't just guard Kawhi as much as all game like GM 1, he was guarding PG and Morris in the 1st half then 2nd half back to defending Kawhi. Thought it was great that when Kawhi try to switch Maxi off, he still had to get guarded by DFS. He had 1 block on Kawhi.
- Maxi may have gotten the teams first points and his only points, but he did a great job grabbing the boards with a team leading of 10, 3 of those being key offensive rebounds.
