How long before "we" turn on Kawhi??

[dh86]

Nobody is saying Kawhi is above criticism. Im excited to see what he does in May and June with all eyes on him

Me, myself im just saying people need to be fair and rationale with the criticism or what you hold against him. All that reaching and nitpicking shyt can

Im just here to call out any bullshyt and unfair slander towards dude

Like people trying to blame Kawhi for last year against a squad with 2 top 5 players with a supporting cast of around him

So yeah put the lights on him but im riding on you nikkas like

You thought LeBron and Kobe stans were bad?

Do we have an archive of posts from you calling the Spurs full of during the 67 win season prior to losing to OKC?

2015- bounced in round 1 to LAC
2016- bounced in round 2 to OKC while eliminated in blowout fashion

If the team on pace for 65 wins with a "superstar" falls short of the WCF again, only so much blame we can place on Lamarcus. Maybe at that point we can consider Kawhi Jimmy Butler with a competent organization

Aight hold up.... see I dont like what this thread is turning into. So does this mean Kawhi is above all criticism for the rest of his career no matter what, just because he works hard/plays hard?


WHat exactly do we mean by "turn on" Kawhi? Does this mean hate on him as a person, or does it mean to potentially judge him on his failures that he may face down the road?


We got dudes in here talkin bout " he never talks, how could you turn on him?".... but what does him not talking have to do with avoiding any future criticism for his ability or inability to lead his team to victories? He's still got to prove himself like every other all time great did... and that will come with facing some criticism at some point.

This is why i dont like crowning guys early. It just sets them up to get killed when they don't accomplish the things that everyone swore they would. Kawhi is a nice player and is very likeable. but if the spurs have a repeat of 2016 every year for the next four to six years for example, then guess what? People are gonna "turn" on him no matter how quiet he is, its just facts.

You summed it up perfectly

All this "who could turn on him" rhetoric must not know anything about sports fans..................

As soon as the Spurs lose in the playoffs, the snakes in the grass will come out.

They wont. They'll blame Aldridge like they did last year when Kawhi had a bad series

 

[Reggie]

If he underperforms in the playoffs again the vultures may start to circle like they are prone to do.

Kawhi outplayed him last playoffs

 

[duckbutta]

Where do people get this "he played bad in the playoffs" stuff from

He averaged 20 something shooting 50 40 80 from the field WHILE guarding KD and Westbrook the whole series

I need someone to scientifically explain this to me

 

[ALonelyDad]

He's like Duncan..it's hard to turn on him. Dude is not vocal enough or gets enough attention for ppl to hate.

That wasn't hard to do. Neither one was great and they both underachieved.

Didn't show up when it mattered AT ALL in that series. Steph averaged 26 and 8 when they won the finals and people say he played like crap. Can't have it both ways if he's a superstar.

They had a better team than OKC last year and were expected to get to the conference finals. KD was giving him the business all series. I like Kawhi but as somebody mentioned, people act like he's above criticism. It'll be the same this year when they get bounced. It'll be trade Aldridge, Tony needs to retire etc
