Kawhi Rebounds

[dabom]

Championship caliber rebounds.

[Mugen]

his biggest contribution since he's been back IMO.

[midnightpulp]

Best SF rebounder I've ever seen.

[dabom]

"Stealing our rebounds" - BOBO. lol

[Silver&Black]

Agreed...when he was out we were getting killed on the boards damn near every game.

[BillMc]

Kawhi is tied with Draymond Green as the league leader in rebounding at the small forward position. :toast

And I would guess Leonard's rebounding pct. is probably higher since GS plays at a higher pace.

Not for long. He's been beasting since he got back.

[rasuo214]

Averaging 10 rpg since coming back, with 3 double doubles in 6 games (was 1 rebound short of 4).

[Malik Hairston]

Draymond Green has played half his minutes this season at the 4, too..

:toastI think Kawhi's rebounding numbers are more impressive because the Spurs play at a slower pace and Draymond is often the PF in Warrior line ups.

You are exactly right!:toast

he's a full time 4 tbh, plays the 3 only with the bench ..

Baring any injury, Kawhi should top the SF position for rebounds this year (Green plays the 4 quite often)

Eric Gay /Associated Press

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich talks with Kawhi Leonard during the first half against the Milwaukee Bucks on Jan. 25, 2015, in San Antonio.




From Dec. 17 to Jan. 14, the Spurs were outrebounded in 11 of 15 games.
In the six games since, the Spurs have won the rebounding battle four times, twice by double digits.
The difference? Kawhi Leonard is back, for starters.

Not really, they don't seem very compatible...Parker and LMA are a real duo/two man game. And Kawhi-Simms is an exciting combo to watch.

[dabom]

That Kawhi-Simmons synergy legit. :toast

[YGWHI]

Nice double double :toast

Another reason I'd like to see Kawhi playing more minutes with the second unit...to keep building his chemistry with Jonathon on the floor.

This dude is the reason people don't get offensive rebounds if he is anywhere near the rim.

Fucking SF rebounding like a center yo. :wow

[spursistan]

love when Kawhi hits the offensive glass..that huge one off LMA miss late in the game to make it 4 point game..Amazing how he kept it with Westbrook trailing behind :wow..

Also there is another in first half when he wrestled with Adams and eventually got a shot attempt off it going down on the ground..

Kawhi is excellent at sneaking in for key offensive rebounds, he has done it numerous times.

Remember when he snatched an offensive rebound against the Cavs & missed both FTs.:lol

[YGWHI]

Remember one Kawhi-man-rebound against Warriors on the road in 2014 regular season...Amazing timing.

He's doing this thing all time

Hes a terrible rebounder on 2k :lol

They made him like a Vincer carter who can dunk anyone :lol

I want him to get the licence to go after them more often..he is great at corralling boards in traffic..I think Kawhi can be a double digit rebounder if he plays +38 minutes as he should in a playoff game..

[loveforthegame]

The board with 20 seconds or whatever left was huge. But I was impressed with the one he ripped out from Kanter's hands. If that wasn't enough, he then throws up an attempt while falling down to get the foul call too.

Agreed. Those were epic. That rebound over Kanter was like watching Kawhi willing his team to the win!

Can't do that when he's guarding the best offensive player on the other team, WestBrick feasts on transition baskets & KD leaks out so it's a no-no against OKC. Otherwise, he's as good a rebounder as Draymond Green.

Both Aldridge and Kawhi are sacrificing those numbers because for the most part, they're boxing out for Pau as the designated reboubder.

Also him getting isolated on an island while guarding the opposing team best player (Matt Moore article) has hurt his ability to get caroms on defensive end being far off on the perimeter. At this rate he is going to dip under 5 Rebounds per game by season end..

Really doesn't matter, imo.

Some posters are more enamored with Kawhi's regular season stat line than his first round exits.

ExitS? In plural?

I guess the Spurs were eliminated in first round in Duncan Era, pre-Kawhi, too.

"B-b-u-t all it's Kawhi's fault"

Memphis was a first round bye. I'm not going to acknowledge one of the worst playoff teams of all time a series win.

The Spurs had won four championships behind Duncan as the #1 option (I should note that prominent Spurstalk talking heads have told me on a number of occasions that two of those championships were basically all Tim Duncan with very little supporting cast - 2003, 2005) The Spurs didn't really have a number one option but he was arguably the best player on the floor. In that time, the Spurs were eliminated in the 1st round three times.... 2000 - Duncan was injured, 2009 - Duncan was gassed, 2011- fools gold

[YGWHI]

It's funny because we can say a lot about the first round against Clippers, how Parker, Green, Manu, Boris underperformed, how bad Pop adjusted for Doc's high double screens, if that was the first time that Kawhi faced double-teams...and more.

But who cares. After all, it was all 23 years old kid fault, right?

^^Talking about silly comments here.

Spurs last playoffs weren't a first round exist.

"But b-u-t Memphis was so bad :cry, they can't be taken into account..." Stop trying.

[Arcadian]

He still passes the eye test as a good rebounder, though. I see him pulling down important rebounds, like in the above gif, somewhat frequently. Maybe it really is the circumstances being different. Rebounding is such a randomness-dependent thing, when you think about it...you have to just be in the right place when the ball bounces off the rim randomly (technically deterministic, but difficult to predict and thus appears random).
