Kawhi looked different

[Wildcat67]

Was it just me or did Kawhi just seem to be a totally different player out there tonight. It's like this time off led him to the realization that he is the man on this team. His confidence was amazing. Not just how he played but also something else in his physical appearance and moves that looked different.

I actually thought he reminded me of LeBron for a minute just by the way he was moving. Can't pinpoint what it was exactly, but something definitely seemed different to me.

[benstanfield]

Just looked like the whole team realized Kawhi is the best player on the roster tbh

[KL2]

Playing very very confidently, every time he is around the ball he's a threat, every time he touches the ball on offense he's a threat. People think he forces things, but that penetration helps create for others by breaking down the defense.

He's taken his defense to a whole other level this year.

[AztecSpur]

Yes I thought so too, physically and mentally because he looked so fluid, and because he had confidence he could create anywhere on the floor. At the wing, the post, baseline, he was everywhere, it didn't matter.

[ElNono]

yeah, he needs to shave... Pop too

[TheGreatYacht]

Yeah I agree, his braids seemed to have a different pattern tonight

[jeebus]

Well when people start thinking below average players like Cory, Errors, and Gaye are good, they're brought down to earth when all the key players from last year's run are healthy.

[Malik Hairston]

Imagine you've been sitting out for the past week and watching Tony Parker play basketball in a Spurs uniform, tbh..

If you had Kawhi's ability and body, and you could make a change and stop Parker's destruction, wouldn't you come out like a man possessed?

[FkLA]

I thought so too. He brought the ball up the court a bunch and was asking for the ball a lot today.

Looked like a guy that knows he's the best player on the team. He wanted to eat tbh.

Seems a very legit reason to me.

[pgardn]

He looked hungry yet mature. The team definitely felt his energy.
He knows he is the best athlete we have, it's got to be frustrating having to sit and watch.

[pgardn]

Seems a very legit reason to me.

Seems like a perfectly stupid response to me.

Thats because you love some egomaniac player with no real skills and your perception of the game is very twisted, dont get me wrong maybe you are a mathematical genius or a great musician or a great police or a great person but the way you see basketball is utter shit.

[ducks]

Spur players knew he was fresh and feed him the ball

[pgardn]

Thats because you love some egomaniac player with no real skills and your perception of the game is very twisted, dont get me wrong maybe you are a mathematical genius or a great musician or a great police or a great person but the way you see basketball is utter shit.

Thats because I see a team who needs the same players we had that won the championship last season.
This is a difficult proposition for fans who don't see basketball as a TEAM game.

You would make a perfect Lakerfan.

And don't get me wrong, you might be a perfectly reasonable lover of players individually, and not how they serve a common goal... This does not make you a bad guy, but seriously, go play tennis or something.

Yeah, i know what you mean. I think he has a new sense of his importance the team. He looked better off the dribble, and seemed quicker on his feet.

He demanded the double team too which proves the offense can run through him in the post at least..they need to force the shit out of that post up and see how it develops.

[gilmor]

I think he is a better player than any of the Big 3 right now..

Is a team game but then Porky plays for himself thats a paradox thinking he needs to score so badly to save the team and trying to look so cool at the same time...Epic Fail.
Tony should play tennis for basketball is too slow and cant see whats happening thats why every time he goes to the bench the team gets a lead or a few more points if they are down, why you cant see that?

[Spurs 4 The Win]

I think he is a better player than any of the Big 3 right now..

Without Tim this team would crater

Because I can see value and faults.

Try it.

[Mikeanaro]

Because I can see value and faults.

Try it.
I tried and I only see him doing more harm than good, thats why Pop didnt trust him for the finals, the offense is so slow with him running the show most times he falls in a trap where he is double guarded and runs out of ideas and when the clock is reaching 0 proceeds to do some dumb shot or pass to a guarded shooter (very inconvenient).
Players never rotate and all gets very dull and predictable, I dont hate him but his playing style is stupid should get replaced ASAP why? for the good of the team.

[Ice009]

As I said a while ago - Tim and Kawhi are 1A and 1B for this team right now.

[TheRemix]

We don't win a fifth or a sixth without him.
Period.

So I suggest you get used to his faults and see his value.

How? He was horrible during games 6 and 7 when we lost, that counts as a 6th possible championship, 6/36 or something like that too lazy to check it right now.

[Rapper]

One of his shotings during the 2nd half tonight wae like Michael Jordan's signature movement.

Did anybody note it?

Manu saved us during the hard games, Parker was only in game 7 when every player was doing great but where he was during games 2, 4, 5 was pure shit even when he scored 23 with a bad ratio (5 TOs in game 6), hurts the team those are facts not opinions

We need our fastest player on the team with the ball.
Its quite simple. Parker can get us incredibly easy baskets when we bog down.
We needed him last year and we need him this year.

Are you going to tell me we are a better team without Tony and have a better chance at going back to back without him?
Seriously, I want you to type it out right now.

He was ´till last season, if he is gonna play at his current speed then adapting the game to a slower pace is a must to rely less on athleticism.

and Pop limiting his minutes, but he played 31

[Beaverfuzz]

Well for one, Kawhi was given the green light to do just about anything on offense if he caused a turnover or received a long rebound.

Everybody else knows this is Kawhi's team now except for Tony. We'll see if he figures his new role out very soon.

[Beaverfuzz]

and Pop limiting his minutes, but he played 31

His conditioning shouldn't have been a problem. It was a hand injury, not a broken leg/foot. His shot was a little short to begin with but it eventually came around once Kawhi found his rhythm.

[FkLA]

Mister Leonard was a leading Canadian women's sportswear company. It was founded in 1965, by Leonard Wasser and Sam Gertner, growing out of their previous company Pantman.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mister_Leonard#cite_note-Marina_Strauss-1) Mister Leonard grew to become one of the country's leading apparel manufacturers, at its prime doing 90 million plus in annual sales, and becoming the largest garment employer in the city ofToronto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mister_Leonard#cite_note-2) The company also was amongst the first Canadian manufacturers to set up production in Hong Kong.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mister_Leonard#cite_note-Marina_Strauss-1) A rapidly changing economic and retail environment, coupled with founder Sam Gertner's increasing health problems in the late 20th century put a difficult strain on the company and in 1999 Sam Gertner decided to shut down the company.
