It's just amazing how much of a cliff guys have fallen off in the playoffs. At least Gasol was useful against the Magic and Sixers on defense, but otherwise everyone outside Kawhi and Siakam have been below replacement level players the entire playoffs, and Siakam at this point looks gassed from the highest usage season he's ever had. I actually don't see them putting up much of a fight now, they know even if they squeak through this series they will get blasted against the Warriors. No regrets about giving it a go, and Kawhi delivered something DeRozan never could, but the party appears to be over. The rebuild is gonna be brutal because there's no easy way to do it.
