I get that Pop wants to conserve Kawhi's energy, but he shouldn't be defending Draymond. At least put him on Livingston.

I think coaches gotta be smarter about shyt like this. I know why they do it, but I think if you build a big lead you should get your best defender on their biggest threat(Curry) to try to stop comebacks. I get saving energy for the 4th, but keeping them down is just as important sometimes I feel.

Green and Patty are the best defenders on Curry, Kawhi can't navigate around screens like they can - plus they both have better lateral movement. Pop should use Kawhi in FS-type role to utilize his wingspan a bit more.
