kawhi wont put up monster stats, but i have a feeling he put up stats like last years finals which is good enough

remember struggle all series where wade and bosh didnt get going which was all losses....when those 2 got going was when he started to pad his stats

kawhi will do a better job this time around defending this clown, i dont think the spurs will allow him to shoot but play him straight up

The river walk will be crystal clear and San Antonian women will stop being fat disgusting land whales before that happens.

Well... actually it wasn't good enough... you guys went home with the biggest choke job in history... and Kiwi was at the forefront of it.

Oh good Lord. Boris Diaw outscores Kevin Durant one time and people just go batshit insane around here.

[mercos]

Leonard doesn't have to outplay Lebron. If he can put up numbers similar to the ones he did last year in the Finals, the Spurs will be golden.

Wasn't good enough last year.

[spurraider21]

Wasn't good enough last year.
can't put the entirety of the series failure on kawhi. he did good enough individually. but other members of the team were letdowns, particularly in games 6 and 7, including manu, danny, and tony

[Kidd K]

He isn't going to outplay the best player in the NBA. Stop it.

If he can somewhat contain LeBron while helping us on the offensive end, I'll take it. We need Kawhi to have the best series of his life right now.

[urunobili]

GTFO

[Nathan89]

Bumping this shit early. Kawhi about do some serious work tonight.

Lebron showed his frustration at the ft line last year and that was against an injured Kawhi.

[Chinook]

There's nothing to say that Leonard can't put up better stats than James for a game or two. Green wrecked Durant in Game Two of the WCF. But to say Kawhi will come out of this series having had a better overall performance than James would be ludicrous. I just hope he can match Bosh's production.

Foul trouble is the only thing holding this dude back. The league knows this and the first 3 fouls in game 2 were questionable.

:)

[dg7md]

LeBron is best for us when the media blows him, because he doesn't even play that well unless the media criticizes him. :lmao

[FkLA]

Straight up bullied Bron in the second half defensively. Can't expect 29 from him every night but he's capable of D'ing up Bron if he stays out of foul trouble tbh.

You cannot say it was good enough if the Spurs lost. You have to put the onus on the team, and Leonard is part of that. He missed a crucial FT late in the game.. so yeah you can.

Unfortunately though the series has gone 4 games, and that illustration cherry picks only 2 of them.

Absolutely. Its still a pleasant surprise to see Leonard play at that level.

cherry pick all you want, but most of kawhis baskets has been all in lebrons mug face...

unlike lebron who scores alot when kawhi is bench...

For a majority of the series Leonard played as well if not better than was expexted of him individually. If more teammates performed similarly, namely tony, Manu, and splitter, could have gone differently. Surely you can differentiate between a player doing his part and the team coming short. If Lebron drops 70 on 60% today with 15 assists and Miami loses, I think it would he fair to say Lebron did enough but the team let him down

Not that I dont mind being semi-wrong about what I said, he did take a couple of games to get it together.

:lmao amazing how the bar for Lebron to "not let his team down" is 70 and 15 on 60% shooting. I know you were exaggerating but I wouldn't be surprised if Kirby/Jordan nuthuggers actually believe this and hold Lebron to these standards.

Hyperbole. Learn it

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Hyperbole. Learn it

I said nothing to denigrate your point you fucking retard. I literally said "I know you're exaggerating." My point was that there are likely Jordan/Kobe fanboys who actually hold Lebron to your hyperbolic standards. Learn how to fucking read next time before you run your goddamned mouth.

True. But there was some serious cherry picking going on by calling him out for the missed FT last year and his underwhelming performance the first two games. It works both ways.

[unforeseen]

Lirl

Not even close. Good try though. It is still Lebron > Leonard in the series but more importantly, Spurs 3 > Heat 1.

[King Emmanuel]

yeah i dont think 27.5 ppg on 60% shooting is exactly shutting him down

Those mvp chants though

[xellos88330]

James was still great this series. I don't think Kawhi outplayed him though. I do think that he matched up really well and negated an awful lot of what James was doing out there by taking it to him on the other end. It was a gutsy display and he went to work. If he had been on the floor more the first two games, a MUCH stronger case could be made for Leonard. Still proud and one hell of an accomplishment for Leonard. The best part about Leonard, is that he can still get better. Well done Leonard!!!

[Thread]

James was still great this series.

& that is the mantra going forward. Cowherd (and every affiliate along the line) will beat on that drum tomorrow morning on orders from CT. via NYC/Stern II. They will not forsake James. Not after the back-to-back. That made himPERIOD

:lol Manu holding up his left hand while everyone else holds up their right.

[dg7md]

I need to owe up to my remarks that he would never be more than Bruce Bowen on offense. :lol

I am completely wrong... he will be a star in this league on the Paul George level (he's already surpassed him, he's far more consistent).

Congrats on the chip, but let's not get carried away

[mavsfan1000]

No way he outplayed James. But I think he was the second best player this series.

[Mnky]

Congrats on the chip, but let's not get carried away

George is more polished, but he's also a year older and has two seasons of being the main option. Those touches help development. Leonard is the better defender, and pretty efficient at scoring. he doesn't shoot the ball 20 times a game but sits in the 10-15 range and still puts up 20 pts. The gap isnt' as big as it used to be.. that's for sure.

Game 5 stats

Lebron
10-21, 31 pts 10 reb 5 ast

Leonard
7-10, 22 pts 10 reb 2 ast

That's pretty efficient.

[dg7md]

Congrats on the chip, but let's not get carried away

Thanks, but it's a little misguided to think that he won't become a star in the league... not many Finals MVPs end up being busts in the league after they won FMVP. Kawhi will be a star in the league... He showed a lot this postseason.

[apalisoc_9]

Congrats on the chip, but let's not get carried away

When's the last time Paul George won anything relevant?

Fuck your boy...

[Trill Clinton]

100th post

its crazy that kawhi went through durant and then faced lebron and dominated them both, especially lebron. how does bron allow the guy he's guarding majority of the series to win mvp on his ass???http://i60.tinypic.com/14v7lhl.png
