Kawhi Leonard took Responsibility tonight " I know I lost the game tonight"

[apalisoc_9]

When Asked about his Free throw misses.

http://www.nba.com/spurs/

Such leadership man..Him, Manu and TD have constantly taken responsibility when they feel like they could have made this or that shot.

[ChumpDumper]

Stop making threads.

[Malik Hairston]

The truly great players take the blame, tbh, they feel personally responsible..

Some players blame it on injuries, but the truly great players dont make excuses, they just take the blame and come back stronger..

100% agree with you bro.

That's why Tim is one of my favourite players of all time.

[Capt Bringdown]

Good news. But missing clutch FT's are not a fluke with him.

Kawhi is growing up before our eyes and it's an exciting process to watch. I love this kid.

[Clipper Nation]

Yep... unlike certain other players, who when times get tough do shit like sitting out entire months of the season with a sore ass-cheek, throwing their teammates under the bus, and claiming that their team is no longer a title contender, Kawhi is mature enough to take responsibility for his mistakes.

[Sean Cagney]

Damn right, you can tell he took missing those FT's hard with the look on his face. He is young, he will solve that problem IMO. He can be clutch and we have seen it in the finals games 6 and 7 of 013 sides the FT missed and last years MVP, he has shown up big in big games (OKC strip as well, huge) before and will again. Regular season loss here so nothing to see here, he will make them next time when it counts.

[wildchild]

You know Kawhi made FT's to close the first game against the Clips this season, right?

Haters act like he missed all clutch FT's

[spurraider21]

was a shame to see us lose that way after Kawhi spent most of regulation bending LeBron over yet again

[james evans]

yes. I'm a big leonard supporter, but this is becoming the norm with him.

[TheGreatYacht]

Reporter: Kawhi just got done saying that he lost the game by missing free throws...


Parker interrupts: No. You can't put everything on Kawhi. Obviously he had two free throws, but we could've made a stop too. You know, we could've made a stop at the end, and we didn't do it so... We can't put everything on Kawhi.

Subtle. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Not subtle at all tbh.

Sophomoric.

[kobyz]

they should have foul up by 3...

[cd021]

His FT shooting is sporadic like his 3pt shot.

[Cloud786]

As much as it pains me to say it, Kawhi is a choker at the free throw line and a lot of that has to do with confidence. Just look at his stats comparing the regular season to the playoffs:

REGULAR SEASON FT %
2012-2013: 82.5%
2013-2014: 80.5%

PLAYOFF FT %
2012-2013: 63.3%
2013-2014: 73.6%

[rasuo214]

78.3% in the Finals and 91% in the conference finals...

[KL2]

Kawhi is like a Saiyan, gets defeated, comes back stronger tbh.

[unforeseen]

"Max player" :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Worst poster on SpursTalk. Says a lot about how shit this place has become that OP isn't pinked.

[Cry Havoc]

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/236824/Tony-Parker-Shoulders-Blame-For-Spurs-Recent-Struggles

“It’s tough right now," Parker said. "It’s tough. Since I’ve been with the Spurs, I’ve never experienced that in a 3-game, 4-game stretch. We’re not making shots. It starts with me. I’m not making shots. Our 3-point shooters are not making shots, and everything is tough. We just have to stay positive."

SMDH..Why do people turn every thread into player this vs player that..what's the point? What's the purpose?

it's sad..can't spurs fan just be happy that Kawhi is maturing as a player? Damn player fans.

[ChumpDumper]

:lol Tony Parker's name literally wasn't mentioned in this thread, until the Estrogen Mafia(JoeYacht, Chump Dumper and Cry Havoc) showed up to this thread and tried to turn it into a flame war, tbh..

[Nathan89]

Kawhi needs to practice his fts tbh. That was unacceptable. In a couple of years when Tony is done this will be his team and that shit can't be happening to a player who isn't a bigman.

[ChumpDumper]

Cause you and your friend are trolls and sarcastic bitches, you have damned souls, you bring bad karma, you ruin the spurs season, you need to vanish that the spurs could succeed...

[boutons_deux]

KL's was traumatized by his FT misses in the '13 Finals, and now this. He doesn't show much emotion, but he's not as cool, relaxed inside as outside.

[Wildcat67]

Good news. But missing clutch FT's are not a fluke with him.

Wouldn't even of had the FTs if he didn't get the offensive rebound in the first place. Balances out.

[tholdren]

Lol it balances out. No it doesn't

[milkyway21]

Watching the replay just validate how good Kawhi has become in just a couple of years in the league and the last thing I want for this kid is to lose his confidence. Just continue his drive to be better and how to lead, improve his game offensively, consistently, practice, & practice more .

[Wildcat67]

Lol it balances out. No it doesn't

Yes it does, if he didn't get the rebound they get the ball and either make the 3 or not, same exact result.

If two event are both removed from the game positive and negative and as a result the game is at the same exact point that is the definition of balancing out. But you are a Kawhi hater troll so of course you would disagree.

[KaiRMD1]

Old sport with the goods

[Raven]

i'm not making shots is a pussy excuse.

[tholdren]

No it doesn't balance out until Leonard gets some fucking nuts and hits fts to close games.

Signed,
Leonard - hater - troll

Cry like kl did on the ft line

[boutons_deux]

Spurs shot FT 70% vs 86%

[apalisoc_9]

This is already Kawhi's team..lol at thinking otherwise.

[Legacy]

Everytime they do this shit it just reminds me of 6 all over again. :bang

[tholdren]

This is already Kawhi's team..lol at thinking otherwise.

Sad that a 38 year old has been more consistent. I have no problem with it being "his team" but if it is he needs to make the damn plays to seal the game. Closing is sa biggest problem. It's an issue

[unleashbaynes]

This isn't any one players "team". That's why they're champions.

[Diego20]

Definitely an issue just like Parker's post-season scoring efficiency:

[daslicer]

Hopefully he stops choking from the freethrow line in pressure situations especially if the spurs are in this situation come playoff time.

He should take responsibility tbqh. Glad he owned up.

[spurraider21]

he's been taking a lot of post-game responsibility lately :lol

:lmao

[BOHOLANO#21]

Kawhi's balls went up to his neck causing him to miss the end game freethrow of the last two Spurs losses.��

[daslicer]

Looks like that will be a preview of what he'll be saying during the playoffs.

[SASdynasty!]

he's been taking a lot of post-game responsibility lately :lol

[SnakeBoy]

Clearly Kawhi's choking is a result of his poor self esteem and low confidence. This is why Pop never yells at him and instead fawns over him. Just trying to build the guy up so he won't continue to choke. Pop is doing all he can but the question is what can we as fans do to help Kawhi realize...

Yeah, I'm sure you'd say that to Kawhi.

[jkid12456]

yes, patty

[wildchild]

Sure? Kawhi elevates his game in playoffs, every postseason, we can't say the same about Tony.

Kawhi 1 ring 1 FMVP. Tony....?

[tholdren]

Sure? Kawhi elevates his game in playoffs all his career, we can't say the same about Tony.

Kawhi 1 ring 1 FMVP. Tony....?

Kawhi could have 2 had he made a ft

[wildchild]

Kawhi could have 2 had he made a ft

2 FMVP? Agree. He was the best player in game 6 and 7 along with Tim.

So if Kawhi is that great in playoffs...why you say he is Romo?

[rasuo214]

Goes to show how reliant this team is on Kawhi.

[wildchild]

Kl is tony Romo but a bigger pussy

Some trolling is ok, but you're insulting him for nothing.

[TheGreatYacht]

Lmao cause 2 games overshadows his horrible series lol. That FMVP was Duncan's

[rasuo214]

Averaging a double double is hilarious.

[wildchild]

Horrible series? You defended Lebron in game 1 and the rest of the games?

Good for you and the other guy saying he's a big pussy...Better you pray Kawhi play next weeks like his previous games if you want the Spurs to have a chance in playoffs.

For the record, you answered my last question?
