Why does the superstar kawhi Leonard average less mpg than every other superstar in the playoffs

[Standing on business]

at 24 years old

 

[Juggalo Fred]

he's old

 

[Nostalgic]

The offense is ran through LaMarcus not Kawhi.

Lamarcus plays less minutes that kawhi


Kawhi makes a big ass difference being on the floor offensively and defensively

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

He's not a superstar. That's why. Upper echelon player at best.

 

[Swiggy]

Cuz Pop.

Anything else?

Part of that is the firat round was a sweep amd Kawhi got a chance to rest. But in this series Pop keeps over coaching. Both LMA and Kawhi should be playing 40 minutes a night against the Thunder. Always have one on the floor.

Ask Pop.....

And also ask him why he had old azz Tony Parker forcing jumpers at the end of the game instead of getting the ball to Kawhi

 

[dterpsss]

Popovich.

 

[NoMorePie]

Well he already plays 40 minutes.

Game 1 was a blow out so he wasn't needed

Game 2 he played 35 minutes for some reason

Game 3-5 he played 39-40 minutes.

He's matching Durant in minutes right now. Who is playing like 41 mpg


I blame pop


I think he should be matching Durant or westbrook EXACTLY in terms of minutes. None of this resting garbage. It's the playoffs. If Durant plays 45. So does kawhi.

Sometimes Pop's arrogance is hinders the team, ala Bill Bellicheck

OKC denied Kawhi the ball in one of those sequences... it was good defense
