yep, I'm disgusted that midget Raymond did a number on him this season while watching less skilled of OKC bigs completely overwhelm him with size, not to mention 6'10 Durant taking him to school..

Weaknesses: In high school he developed a reputation for being soft and not showing enough heart. Scouts still have some question marks about his toughness inside. He is vastly improved in that area, but still struggles against big and strong players on the NCAA level ... Not a physically imposing player inside, plays more a finesse game. Needs to get nastier ... Should still add an additional 10-15 pounds ... Not an out of this world leaper, but solid ... Not an extremely emotional player, which is both a positive and a negative ... Passing and ball handling are decent but can improve ..... Must develop a killer instinct, more intensity.

Best Case: Jermaine O'Neal
Worst Case: Channing Frye

Remind me but there was a spur that had 30+ points the first 3 games vs okc?
That should have been enough to win the series. But Kawhi and co decided to the bed on game 2. ing pathetic s
So basically you don't like LA..
Kawhi Leonard: When in doubt he shoots contested mid range shots. Will never be a leader, but he'd be one of the best third options in the league. Has a tendency of letting scrubs force their will on him, like Andre Roberson and Matt Barnes. He'll flirt with a 90FT% in the regular season, but when it matters most he'll most likely split his free throws. It looks like he's at his best when there's a French Point Gawd on the floor with him who sets him up for open threes, so he better pray he lands on a team with one of the those at the next level.
best case - Andre Iguodala
worst case - Gerald Wallace
My guess - glorafied Josh Howard
DPOY Kawhi's one of the most efficient offensive players in the league despite decently high usage. The only DPOY with a higher USG% than Kawhi's 25.8 this year were these guys:
- Jordan (lower TS% is fair given his insane 34.1 USG)
- Hakeem 2x
- Mourning 2x
- Dwight 2x
- MWP (only other wing - poor TS% of 51.1%)
Only two DPOY have had a higher TS% than Kawhi's - Dwight once (lower USG that year) and Tyson Chandler (USG was like half of Kawhi's).
I know you're just trolling, but that's not the stat line of a beta.
He's not that efficient when the game is on the line and he has 2 fee throws tbqh
The criticism is valid
That beng said we did not lose because of either kawhi or lmalpha. The rest of the team shut their panties. Except for green
Yup. And Billy The Cannibal Donovan ate Pops flesh with a glass of Chianti ftftftft
He should be fine as the 3rd wheel ala Bosh/Love. PATFO need to get a LEGIT wing-man for Kawhi or assemble a team w/ multiple playmakers ala the mid-2000s Pistons. For god sakes, Pippen had Jordan when he was tasked w/ being an elite two-way player.
LeBron has Kyrie
Dominos has WestBrick
Kawhi has Porker
Softridge needs a pick-and-pop specialist who isn't afraid to take & MAKE big shots like Jason Terry. Porker become useless when Softridge is playing hot potatoes & teams are daring him to be a scorer.
A very gettable player is Darren Collison who is LETHAL from mid-range. Only Kyrie was better among point guards & he was 3rd overall amongst all guards, sandwiched b/w Re /Choke-P3: http://stats.nba.com/league/player/#...ayerPosition=G
He isn't a starting caliber PG but he can play 20 SOLID minutes as a backup ala 2014 Patty.
The Kings might be trying to dump Marco so PATFO can swap Diaw's partially guarantee & Patty for Marco/Collison: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=hj3vrzg
If the Kings are willing to trade Kofus, who is stuck behind Cousins and Cauley-Stein, that would also take care of the center spot but he has a reasonable contract & they can get a decent haul for him. Joerger also had him in Memphis so they might want to keep him if they move Cousins. Otherwise, the Spurs could just swap Diaw/Patty/Simmons for Kofus/Collison & absorb Marco into the cap space assuming Tim/Manu/D-Worst retire. That would leave PATFO w/ about 6 mill to work along w/ the Room Exception to sign a backup PF/C: Cole Aldrich/Darrell Arthur.
So hypotheticallly, the roster would look something like this:
Kofus/Aldrich/(*open roster* or vet min: Nene)
LMA/Arthur/Bertans
Kawhi/Kyle/(vet min wing defender: Mbah a Moute)
Danny/Marco/(min salary slasher: Summer League)
Porker/Collison/(1st rd pick: defensive minded PG)
So basically you have trouble accepting FACTS?#porkerstan
Sure, but how do they go about getting it? Conley and Teague, are more than likely long shots. Even if they acquired one, barring something drastic from the other four contenders, they'd still rank 4th-5th going into next season.He should be fine as the 3rd wheel ala Bosh/Love.

I could see some sort of trade with the Kings, with Collison and/or Koufos (for Diaw; I brought this up weeks ago) the most likely pieces coming back. But that's not moving the needle.
The unfortunate reality is, there's more than likely nothing they can realistically do to change that, at least in the near future.
Getting a boner over stats that don't matter. Good for you. KL hasn't won a series. Who gives a if he scores 100ppg if he cannot score under-pressure?
Reading your post is the problem with ST. Guy gets media hype you go bananas. Pop says something you go bananas. You argue that Tim is better than Kobe because he won rings. You argue that KL is better than X because he has stats. Until KL wins something as THE LEADER of the team, which no one knows if its LMA or KL to be honest, then he's not . There really isn't an argument otherwise.
So basically you have trouble accepting FACTS?
I talked about this before the trade. Hes a third tier star that spurs fans are treating like a first tier star. Hes in the klay thompson catgory of stars.
I guess if OKC wins it all in June, Durant STILL isn't shyt b/c WestBrick is the LEADER of the team.
LMA is a stud, a formula 1, and the last player we should blame for the series loss. If we get Pau, some more young athletic guys and play our system defense we win #6 next year.
All you need is to put yourself in a position to take advantage of any injuries or choke jobs. If the Spurs had the "2016-17" hypothetical roster then they could have beaten OKC & the Duds w/ a less than 100% Curry. The Finals would have been a coin flip considering that Kawhi matches up well w/ LeBron who would also have to guard him on the other end b/c JR has no chance against Kawhi.
The 2013 Spurs went to the Finals w/o having to face OKC who were knocked out after WestBrick got injured & almost won it all.
Killer instinct, more intensity.. that's all bull . I'll take a guy who doesn't get too emotional and shoots like LMA over someone who can't perform when he gets pressured.
I think they were saying he need to ADD a killer instinct to his game on top of his talent.(GayMond wouldn't be making MAX money if he didn't play w/ intensity to makeup for his lack of talent)
That will have to be their mentality throughout this era, because they're not going to out star the other contenders.
The '13 team probably needed injury luck versus the Thunder and were constructed in such a way to give the Heat issues. This team, going forward, would need injury luck versus the Warriors, Thunder, Cavaliers and maybe Clippers and aren't constructed in such a way to give any of them issues.
They'd need an almost unprecedented amount of luck for them to win a championship.
Cripples are about to be broken up & the Cavs w/ an aging LeBron are in the East so they are irrelevant until the Finals. OKC is beatable by an efficient halfcourt team & the Duds hopes hinge on Curry's ankles. There is also a possibility there could be a 1-4 matchup b/w OKC/Duds if Durant's Jones fracture flares up.
Did they say something about Kiwi being an autistic re more interested in having babies and basketball non related ? Because you know, at age 24 you need to have a family ASAP before thinking about winning rings and being soft.
LOL. LMA is just as fat as boris, with less rebounding and athleticism and a great turnaround. Thats about it. Cant pass. Cant get to the block. Weak screen setter.
My ultimate favorite is to watch his fat ass run the court. Dude is slow, and looks like a nerd.
LMA wasn't the Spur that allowed rookies to impose their will on him in the playoffs. LMA went up against Adams, Ibaka and Kanter. The strength of OKC that has devastated two record breaking teams
Lamarcus has more points, assists and steals than O'Neal had in his entire career, and will pass him in just about everything but blocks next season.
Spot on.
