But he won Finals MVP right before that at 23

If Kawhi got off light then what is KD doing? He about to be 10 years in with one mvp trophy 1 finals appearence and no rings
If Kawhi is getting off light then what are Jimmy Butler and Paul George doing? Neither have won anything that really matters?
I mean...if Kawhi is getting off light then what is every other player not named Lebron James doing? Cause every single one of those guys no matter their age outside of GS don't have a ring, or a finals mvp, or 2 DPOY awards?
I would say averaging 20 a game against OKC while spending all his time guarding 2 of the top 8 players in the nba is "getting busy in the playoffs"

I absolute agree about KD and those other guys as well
But Kawhi and the Spurs went out in the first round when they had the lead against the Clippers and HC advantage and were the defending Champions.
And they went out when they had the lead against OKC and had HC advantage there as well.
I'm saying that based on the conference and the Spurs machine like regular season performance...they have the talent, the coaching and the record that would suggest that anything less than a WCF should be looked at with serious scrutiny.
If Kawhi is a superstar/MVP candidate (which I am prepared to say he is) then he should be held to that standard.
I am also going to go on record and say that I think they do make the WCF. I also dont know if they beat the Warriors unless both Pau and Aldridge raise their game though

I'm gonna say it now, we ain't winning shyt unless LMA shows up in the playoffs. Kawhi can't do everything.
I remember son was cooking in that first round last year. Dropping 30 like if was nothing.

Even when they sucked at no point did they have a single player the level of Paul/Blake
You can still build around Blake & they won't be as bad as those old Clippers

You just quoted her IG. :lolwut:
Yeah he couldn't be stopped until the second round (with the exception of the first 2 games). Then he disappeared in the next 4.
Beat the jazz by 27 on the road. He had 15 in the first half and wasn't needed in the second half. It's ok
I have always liked Marcus Smart.
But don't @ me, after he just shot 28% from 3, and went for 13/4/4 for the last month. This is the kid you said was gonna be a superstar.

Time to go!!
Not against GSW. Against anybody else we still have a slight chance. we shoot threes but the only perimeter player on our squad whose game or usefulness depends on the three point shot is Ryan Anderson as he brings almost nothin else to the table. Bad defender. He gets shielded more than harden. Against the Pels we threw Ariza on Davis and last night we threw harden on Blake a couple times. Anderson is almost the worst rebounder in the starting lineup. He averages less rebounds than all our guards in the starting lineup. Can't post up or put the ball on the floor.
