So who's taking george over Kawhi now?

[Horse]

Honestly though even before this I'm not sure george has the heart we've seen from Leonard.

[Cklbmk]

Poor taste. But I agree I've had Kawhi above George for some time. Granted I may be a homer

[PingPong]

Kawhi role in the team isn't even close to the role PG had in the Pacers.

[Richie]

Paul George has shown himself to be a much better offensive player, and any difference in defensive ability between them is minimal.

What's the point of this thread OP?

[dabom]

I always thought Kawhi was the better player between the two b4 last season even started.

Anyone wanna have some fun reading?

Well if you took Paul George over Kawhi you'd be screwed now. I feel in the same circumstance Leonard is right there with George.

I agree on the O part except PG shoots a low PCT. Way lower than Kawhi. On D Kawhi has it, no question at all he is better. PG though right now or this year was a better O player true indeed, by far at times. When Kawhi locks in and gets aggressive like the Finals is when he can flat out excell. If he plays at that level it's close.

PG is hurt now though, BAD TASTE OP.

Kawhi, because he was smart enough to know that FIBA games are meaningless.

What does this say about Manu?

Paul George retiring at 24 http://dailyleak.org/2014/08/paul-george-retires-at-24/

[maverick1948]

if PG had come to the Spurs instead of KL, he would have had a lesser role in the offensive and been used more as a defensive player. Just like Kawhi.

If George ended up on the Spurs it would have altered the entire space-time continuum. The chances of him having that exact same injury are well below slim to none. We would be living in an alternate 2014.

But of course, Kawhi has been my guy since the beginning.

I don't think we've seen fully what Kawhi is capable of. The last 3 games of the Finals was the first time he scored 20+ in 3 straight. And he was going against LBJ and he did it pretty efficiently. Meanwhile he forced Lebron to work hard to score with his defense. If PG had been capable of that the Pacers would have been in the Finals.

It has always been the finals mvp tbh.

Ouch. Too Soon. Too Soon.

it is? cuz i've seen lebron's eyes light up when george was holding him. they even tried lance stephenson to contain lebron. paul george takes a LOT of shots. some of them very bad shots. all of this talk about being a better scorer due to him averaging more points requires looking at the fine print. George averages 21 ppg on 42% shooting while takint 17 shots a game. Leonard averages 13 ppg on 52% shooting while taking only 10 shots per game. so if leonard shooting 52% takes 8 more shots per game with his consistency, that's 4 more shots he makes and 8 more points per game leaving them averaging the same amount of points. plus leonard shot a better 3 point percentage. George just shot a lot of 3's.

The fact he got injured his irrelevant to his abilities as a player, that could have happened to anybody. He will return back full strength because it's just a broken bone instead of a torn ligament. Bone injuries don't tend to linger in players like torn ACLs do.

George is slightly superior to Kawhi offensively, but isn't as good defensively. Pick your preference, really.

Seems that your question is loaded and the answer all too self-evident. Sorta like asking who thinks you're dry now that you've hopped in the pool....

Kawhi is better because...Paul George busted his leg? If that's the argument the OP had in mind wow you're cut to be a lawyer good job mate

Sidenote: George didn't have to break a leg just to be worse than Kawhi. Poring over Basketball-Reference would prove Kawhi has a slight edge on some aspects of the game.

Meaning what? We shouold diss players for freak injuries?

I'd take Kawhi every day of the week, but if we had George instead I'd hardly be complaining.

Or maybe we only have 4 rings.

[Obstructed_View]

Or maybe have 6.

Fair enough.

[mkurts]
