But even half of that is exactly what becomes an early 4th quarter game changer. Or a couple of end of game options that don’t involve an exhausted Trez. The kind of asset LAC didn’t have before, and allow Doc to rely on someone other than Trez in the clutch.

There’s a combination of rust, off shooting night, and low effort, only one of which might be an issue in the playoffs.

For what it’s worth, his 3-16 tonight is fairly similar to his two worst-shooting regular season games, which were 2-11 and 3-15. If it was a real game, and he’d played more and kept shooting, he could have easily ended up in the range of his next 5 worst shooting games, which came in higher volumes: 6-24, 8-24, 9-26, 8-23, 7-20.

Anyway, I’m not worried about Kawhi.

Or, is there something going on there>?
