The Rookie

[Spurs Brazil]

18pts 10rebs 2blks

Not bad

[100%duncan]

Big game from Kawhi. We needed him and he delivered.

[spursfan1000]

He is no rookie.

[slick'81]

jax in game 1 and kawhai in game 2 not bad guys

[Dex]

Amazing...when the hell did he score 18 points?

Dude just sneakily fills up the stat sheet ala Tim Duncan.

[TwelveGs210]

BEAST. Disgusting to think of a 25 year old Kawhi..

[Frenzy]

Mad props to the young fella looks to stay calm and collected and not let the big name big games faze him.

This. He will be a fan favorite (even more so) if he keeps this up.

[Libri]

Considering who he is going against, that stat line is awesome.

[Mr. Body]

Fantastic stat line. Those points are great, but those rebounds are phenomenal.

[Aztecfan03]

:rollin at Thunder fans thinking he couldn't do this because he is a rookie.

he should get an A today.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Kawhi is a rookie? I'm not sure I can believe that...:lol

Dude was awesome out there tonight. Such a fantastic addition to this team. What a perfect fit.

[TwelveGs210]

Suicide watch over in the Thunder forums..

[SourCandy]

Mad props to the young fella looks to stay calm and collected and not let the big name big games faze him.

what a nice pick up for you guys :depressed

[Capt Bringdown]

Dude looks like an all-star sometimes.

You know Kawhi is good when he puts up those stats and it's not even really a surprise.

Definitely sneaky. He had 3 3pointers plus and an 1 when the game was over already. So that accounted for 12 of his points.

[Russo21]

He is a machine. I love that kid.

[Russo21]

If Richard Jefferson was out there we lose that game. Book it. lol richard jefferson

[Russo21]

oh wait if Richard Jefferson was still here we wouldn't even be playing that game, we'd already be in our offseason

[NRHector]

oh wait if Richard Jefferson was still here we wouldn't even be playing that game, we'd already be in our offseason

:lol

[Russo21]

and if Pop yelled at Richard Jefferson the way he yelled at TP he would have hurt his feelings and cried like a little girl

[Man In Black]

:wow I remember when be arrived at San Diego State. How far have you come Kawhi?
Far enough to be $$$ Thanks KL for being the real deal!

WE WIN! YAY!

[tesseractive]

The scary thing:

* He is a rookie
* He only did one year of college
* He didn't get an offseason with the team

That means he'll probably take a ridiculous leap next year. We don't even have a clue what his ceiling is right now.

[Cow Eye]

That's how Cow Eye rolls. Knew he was gonna be awesome as soon as we got him. Our scouts know their shit.

:toast

[anakha]

Another A- game? :p:

[jesterbobman]

Hard to complain about the performance.

[Budkin]

According to bleacherreport he just can't hang against an experienced team like the Thunder.

[Capt Bringdown]

Has to be one the best trades in Spurs history.
A rookie with 18 and 10 in the f'n playoffs.
Love this team

[Budkin]

I wonder if Colin Cowpie will be talking about whether the Thunder can beat the Heat in the Finals tomorrow.

[Agloco]

18pts 10rebs 2blks

Not bad

:wow

Just like a certain Spurs legend, he had a quiet 18 and 10. I like Georgie Hill, but he wasn't giving us that tonight.

What kind of doughnuts y'all want tomorrow?

[Spur|n|Austin]

Y is the man. It's almost like I have nothing to say about him that hasn't already been said. I wish I could adopt the damn kid :lol

Oh, timvp is going to give me another A grade. Joy.

[timtonymanu]

He is just such a damn good fit to this team. And he obviously doesn't have the rookie mentality. He knows what he has to do.

Loving this kid more and more every game.

He hits big 3's and then makes timely cuts to the basket.

That sneaky cut in transition was too awesome for words.

Not that it changes your point much, but he played two years at SDSU.

Great game from Leonard though. A quiet 18 and 10. Love the rookie.

My apologies, you're right.

Not sure why people keep saying this. He definitely played two seasons at San Diego State.

I think the person that put this information out is also the guy that was telling everyone that Gary Neal is a free agent this offseason.

Spurs Playoff tickets are over 2$?!

[therealtruth]

"Two games down, two games to go," Neal said.
"Six more," Leonard said.



I like the way the rookie thinks. They're going all the way.
