Quin Snyder in the Clippers adapting without Kawh: “No one in the world insulates the pound better than he does. But the teams respond. And they respond. Everyone playing this year understands that there is a next male mentality.”

“No one insulates the pound better than Kawhi Leonard. Every time you lose a player like that, it affects the series … They’re a deep and talented team, so they certainly have enough offensive talent.”
