Are we still pretending they actually broke up?

Thank god he had that minor thumb injury that allowed him to rest for a bit.He's averaging 11.6 rebounds per game this post-season.
For those players in the playoffs defending 2.5+ three pointers per game, Tristan is the third best defender:
1. Taj Gibson; 13.8 DFG%; opponents usually shoot 37.1%, -23.3%
2. Klay Thompson; 15.4 DFG%; opponents usually shoot 38.4%, -23.0%
3. Tristan Thompson ; 15.8 DFG%; opponents usually shoot 36.7%, -20.9%
The other two defend (or defended in Gibson's case) more threes, but still, TT's close outs after switching have been great
Be honest, you're jealous of Khloe.He's just so good - he switched onto Derozan and other guards and just straight up stonewalled them. As @Chris Parker wrote in his excellent article after game 2, Thompson is the anchor of what the Cavs can be defensively. And when the Cavs are facing a team with elite shooting and complex motion sets, Thompson's ability to switch will become invaluable. I'd actually argue that there are only a handful of bigs I'd rather have than Thompson to face the Warriors. Plodding post-up guys like Valuncinias have no chance against a team with that much speed and shooting.
