Neither player stopped the other from getting the shots they wanted. Kawhi's shots just happened to fall and PG's didn't.
Did Kwahi really hold Paul George to 1-14 shooting :wow:

And they fell while who was guarding him ? Don't make it seem like "shots were just falling for KL". When the fact of the matter is...on offense he went 1-14...on defense Kawhi scored 20+. Don't make head-to-head arguments, to go the "shots just fell for him" route.
Toe 2 Toe, PG took the L in all facets of the game against Kawhi. O, D, W/L column. So don't say neither player stopped one another, cuz the numbers don't lie.
Kawhi didn't score 20+ while being guarded by George, just like PG didn't go 1-14 being guarded by Kawhi. It's not as simple as what the box score reads.
Nobody is arguing against this. Yall Spurs fans setting up straw men.

Like how nikkas tried to say Melo was injured when Kawhi locked him up, yet Melo had scored 37 in the previous game before.EGGZACTLY. It was all good when he put up 29 the other night

Breh. Don't be this simple minded. If you've watched basketball all your life. You would know that 1 man NEVER defends the same man ALL game.
But when it comes to Spurs vs Pacers, it's Kawhi vs PG. Just like Jordan vs Bird, or Bird vs Magic. It's just the way it is.
Don't trip breh. There are always superheroes who have more powers then others.

To the people saying the video doesn't show the entirety of KL's defensive effort... then why post it in a thread given the thread title? Why post a video that presumably shows all of PG's misses and shows KL having relatively little to do with it?
You can't criticize people for basing their impression on the video when the video was posted to support the idea KL shut down PG. Nobody's denying that KL is a great defender, but he clearly did not do much on the 14 shots PG attempted. Maybe he prevented PG from taking another 10 shots.... but that's not the point, is it?

That's not the point here. The reason why I brought up the fact that neither player was stopping each other, was because there were posts that were asking what did PG do to stop Kawhi. He didn't do much - just as the opposite ran true on the other end - there were a number of times PG got past Kawhi.
This is corny. And I hope that you're not insinuating that Kawhi is the more talented player. If so, I suggest you watch more Pacers games.

He made PG work and didn't allow him to get comfy. That's what he does to EVERYBODY. PG is one of the top players in the league, he's going to beat Kawhi and anybody for that matter off the dribble at times and get to the spots he wants to. Kawhi is a great defensively player and he's going to make things difficult for anybody he's guarding.
On the flipside, PG was getting blessed regularly by Kawhi when we was guarding him

1. This video shows KL definitely outplayed PG on the offensive end.
2. This video shows KL and PG holding each other so badly I kept waiting for a flag.
Because he's greatWhy does this forum love khawi so much?

You should watch more Spurs games while your at it. Yes. He is in fact the more talented and COMPLETE player. And he's 1-0 against this season.
Do me a favor and list Paul George's major league awards. Then do so with Kawhi. The answer is in the facts.
Face it...your boy toy caught the L last night. 1 for 14. Face it. Talk to me when he's got gold on his finger.
It's a shame that PG's best years as a Pacer, we're when they had Hibbert and ear whisperer. Top 5 players don't have shytty records. PG is real good, but he's AD status good.
He didn't shut down Bron.
