Kawhi Leonard is heating up. You will be witnesses.

[duckbutta]

Remember when they said Butler was as good as Kawhi
Remember when they said Paul George was better than Kawhi

Remember when they sad Kawhi was a system player

He spends over half his minutes playing with two of the worst defenders in the nba and a two guard who can't do anything but make 2 three's a game...

LMA was so bad to start the year people were wondering if he was hurt or going to get traded

And the coli told me that system is making him successful

Coli told me he would never be able to carry a team and as soon as he had to be "the man" the spurs would fall off

 

[e001]

That pull up jumper is getting ridiculous

 

[TrebleMan]

It really must be frustrating to know someone you can't defend can defend you better than anyone you've ever faced.

Against any other defender, you could make plenty of mistakes, but you can't make one against Kawhi. The dude's senses are unreal.

Best overall player in the nba...

You can't stop him from scoring anywhere on the floor...

Unless your a gawd tier offensive player you can't score consistently against him on the floor...

Doesn't put up flashy triple double numbers...but by any measurement or advanced stat you want to use parker and gasol are bottom 15 in guarding the pick and roll IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE...and Kawhi STILL has the spurs as a top 5 defense...

His sonning of Paul George in the "i was sick game" is legendary and legit killed off an entire segment of the coli because there was a while you couldn't go 3 days without a "paul george is better than kawhi leonard" thread on the first page...


The fact that he does all of this while playing with a 2 guard who can't pass...can't dribble...can't average 1 freethrow a game...and goes through stretches where he can't shoot is

Imagine if he had just an average two guard with him who actually had some semblance of an offensive game...imagine if he had somebody like Middleton or even J.R Smith

Gonna stop here before I turn this into a Danny Green hate thread...:yeahok:

A 2 guard who doesn't take 2...2 point shots...per game

What is this game, I saw it brought up by someone else in another thread

True for now...but in the next two years where Simmons and Murray start to get starters minutes next to Kawhi...two guys who have aggressive offensive games...dudes efficiency numbers are going to go through the roof due to defenses actually having to guard other players...instead of now where they still don't care about Danny Green and his unbelievable two made 3's a game...

Would be great to have Booker...but the Spurs are gonna have mini giannis running point for them in two years so they going to end up being unstoppable anyway...

Breh I've been wondering why he doesn't get more minutes...but hey knowing Pop it's a long-term plan

I was joking in some thread last year that Spurs gonna win 50+ games for 50 years...they might actually end up doing that if they keep up their recruiting and how they develop players

Notice how the Spurs offense revolves around just giving the ball to Kawhi and clearing out...

Notice how Paul George is guarding him on damn near every made basket...

Notice how Paul George does nothing but shoot bricks

Notice how Kawhi is guarding him as he shoots these bricks...

George ended the game 1 - 14

In the post game they asked him about getting locked up by Kawhi and he said he didn't get locked up that he was sick...

But no word of him being sick the game before

No word of him being sick in the pre game

The next game he had a typical paul george game and wouldn't you know it...he mad no mention of being sick...

Well damn

TBH I've never been convinced by PG. To me he always looked like a "too cool for school" second option used as a first option.

The contested shots



You can't block or steal everything but if you make the effort to contest every shot, you've done a good job.

Talking about this game and rewatching those highlights is

Paul George is a great all around player...Paul George is at worst a top 15 player in the nba...

And the Spurs entire offense revolved around having Kawhi isolate him on both ends and destroy him on both ends

The pure disrespect to go at the others team best player in isolation over and over and over again

 

[Versa]

I was annoyed AF hearing that piece from Brian Windhorst about players in the league not thinking he's all he's hyped up to be.

He's at WORST the 6th best player in the world and IMO higher than that. There's only 3...maybe 4 players I'm taking over him

 

[Recca Gatsby]

So Booker instead of Danny Green wouldn't make yall unstoppable?

 

[Greenhornet]

So Booker instead of Danny Green wouldn't make yall unstoppable?

I dunno I hate the spurs ... Booker is just a funny ass player to me

It will probably make you mad that I am a Steve Nash fan more than anything

 

[Tunez]

Giannis is heating up as well
