It is disgrace that this team still forgets about Kawhi late in the game..

[spursistan]

you got two stiffs who can't postup Mirotic..a 40-year old Ginobil taking awkward no-lift shots..and then you go to him for last bailout 3 :rolleyes..

[apalisoc_9]

Both Aldridge and Kawhi barely touched the ball for a couple of minutes late. Ginobili was trying to do too much late in the game.

The bailout three was comical tbh.

But yeah it was funny how the team almost always forget.

[FkLA]

Kinda disgusting. By far the best player on the floor all game and he's reduced to standing in the corner while the 'Big 3' took turns shitting the bed down the stretch.

[baseline bum]

How do you not try to get Leonard on the block in the late game?

[honestfool84]

Kawhi had the last shot and took a crappy shot. Shut up. Everybody in the building knew Kawhi was going to shoot, and so did Butler. Reminds me of Kobe and his last second desperation shots... Because that is all it was, a desperation shot with no chance in going in.

[SuperCam]

a disgrace that kiwi missed another late game FT, tbh...

Didn't even think about passing it as Jimmy Buckets was smothering him :bang

Kawhi would have got fouled and missed the FTs. Hack-a-kiwi.

[spurraider21]

there were a couple of possessions where you could tell they were working to get him the ball down low, but the bulls were fronting and denying the ball.

He's talking about before that you stupid fuck. Top 5 player in the league was relegated to a corner 3PT shooter for the final two minutes of the game.

Gotta look good to get that all star and MVP VOTES. :rolleyes

[HarlemHeat37]

Going against Mirotic was the correct decision, as was going at Gasol with Aldridge..unfortunately, Duncan and Aldridge both went up with pathetic, soft attempts..

Kawhi was being defended by their only good defensive player, so I understood the decision..Pop coached a pretty poor game, overall, though..

[SASdynasty!]

Kinda disgusting. By far the best player on the floor all game and he's reduced to standing in the corner while the 'Big 3' took turns shitting the bed down the stretch.
Oh, by far the best player? Parker shoots 9/21 in G7 against the Clippers and he's a chucker. Kawhi does it tonight and he's "by far" the best player. Lol.

[Bynumite]

That airball though :lmao

[SASdynasty!]

At least FSSW gets it.

[apalisoc_9]

Duncan had nothing to do with it. He didnt have the ball nor was he playmaking :lol

Going to admit that ot was largely on Manu tonight. He tried way too hard in the last 3 minutes. Aldridge was also already out of rhytem by games end.

Move on to the next one.

Manu and Pop were the soft link

Green still passing up threes for dribbles.

[spursistan]

Funny, I thought Parker and Duncan made the last 2 shots of the game. Where was Kawhi? Bricking free throws or forcing up airballs? Oh, both. Duncan at least catching Kawhi's airballs.

Ahh. Relegated to name calling? Nice.

1. Kawhi is my favorite Spur to watch now.
2. He's not a top 5 (definitely top 10, though)
3. Kawhi isn't going to become a Kobe player that shoots every single time down the court, as much as you want him to.
4. He got a few opportunities down the stretch - you just want him to have it every single time.

[spurtech09]

Spurstalk Meltdown

[bic50]

Lol game is over, we lost. Time to move on to the next one.

[spurtech09]

Lol game is over, we lost. Time to move on to the next one.agree get ready for the next game...

[ducks]

Butler d took him out
Leonard got him in 3 not 4

[cd98]

Kawhi needs to step up and demand the ball.

[apalisoc_9]

Kawhi is a top 5 player. Go to the bulls thread and many people are saying the same thing.

Some people are just idiots...many spurs fans are mainstream big 3 player fans. I wouldnt even engage in basketball talks they are pretty lame :lol

You have a terrible memory. Go look at the play-by-play, very easy to confirm that he was ignored down the stretch. I hate Kobe, don't want Kawhi to ever be that selfish, but in a tied game down the stretch the best player on the team has to be allowed to do more than be a spot-up 3PT shooter.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard doesn't need to shoot every time. But not even touch the ball? That's inexcusable.

[313]

Kawhi needs to step up and demand the ball.
Some have it, some don't

[hitmanyr2k]

How do you not try to get Leonard on the block in the late game?

They actually did try to get the ball to Kawhi in the post late but Butler fronted him and Kawhi really wasn't all that aggressive in trying to get position. He looked tired.

[daslicer]

If Kawhi is being ignored he needs yell and demand the ball. That's all on Kawhi. Kawhi took 21 shots tonight that in itself is already a lot in the spurs system. He's never going to be a guy who shoots 25-26 shots a game like some people wish for.

[ducks]

Leonard was Gased in 4 butler was a handful
Spurs should have went with Duncan and alridge in 3
Leonard in 4

[DAF86]

He was bullying niggas left and right and sudenly the ball stopped getting to him. Game is coming pretty fucking easy for him right now, we have to take advantage of that.

Good thing we didn't trade him for those two scrubs, huh? :wakeup

[YGWHI]

Oh, by far the best player? Parker shoots 9/21 in G7 against the Clippers and he's a chucker. Kawhi does it tonight and he's "by far" the best player. Lol.

IMO Kawhi's by far the best player, tbh. Parker didn't shut down his man in that game. Kawhi shut down Butler, foced him into 5 turnovers while scored 25 points on the other end + 8 rebounds 4 asts and 2 steals.

[YGWHI]

At this point of Parker's career it's unfair to compare him to Kawhi...not sure why SASdynasty and others here insist upon comparing both players.

Unfair and stupid.

Yeah yelling at his teammates to give him the ball like a selfish jerk would really go over really well.

[daslicer]

He's already getting enough shots a game. He's averaging around 16.6 FG attempts game which is a lot in the spurs system. Keep in mind Duncan averaged the most FG attempts per a game under Pop way back in '01-'02 when he was averaging 18.3 a game. The way the spurs offensive system is set Kawhi is never going to average more than 20 FG attempts like some people are hoping for.

[TheDoctor]

Pop shitted the bed in that last play. Everyone in the building knew Kawhi was gonna shoot it and Pop didn't even bother to design a better play than an isolation? Not even a screen?

[Johnny RIngo]

Oh, by far the best player? Parker shoots 9/21 in G7 against the Clippers and he's a chucker. Kawhi does it tonight and he's "by far" the best player. Lol.

If you weren't such a fucking retard you'd see that there's a difference between scoring 25 points on 21 shots(Kawhi tonight) and scoring only 20 points on 21 shots(Parker against Clips in game 7).

[HarlemHeat37]

Kawhi also made the Bulls best player a non-factor tonight, I don't know why that's being ignored:lol

[bic50]

The way the spurs offensive system is set Kawhi is never going to average more than 20 FG attempts like some people are hoping for.

But I don't think resorting to yelling at his teammates or pop is going to help matters. These guys trust pop and just go along with what he says, if kawhi isn't supposed to get the ball on certain possessions then he won't get it and he won't say anything about it either. It's just one loss.

[HarlemHeat37]

Yeah yelling at his teammates to give him the ball like a selfish jerk would really go over really well.

:lol the poster you quoted is a huge Jordan fan, tbh..he likes players that punch teammates in the face, yell at them, degrade them, etc..

[timtonymanu]

Oh, by far the best player? Parker shoots 9/21 in G7 against the Clippers and he's a chucker. Kawhi does it tonight and he's "by far" the best player. Lol.

I see you're still a moron.

[YGWHI]

Agree. Pop didn't have a good night, tbh.

[daslicer]

:lol the poster you quoted is a huge Jordan fan, tbh..he likes players that punch teammates in the face, yell at them, degrade them, etc..

:lol Making stuff up like usual but then again you are the same delusional guy who believes guys like Lebron James are civil right leaders on the same level as MLK. I'm not a Jordan fan but I have acknowledged he is the Goat hundred times in here which offends you. Also when I implied Kawhi to yell I meant that if he's open he needs to call for the ball instead of being a mute and hoping the ball gets to him.

[Fireball]

Kawhi had no energy left in the end ... the last few shots he took were bad ... I do not think he could have made a difference

[Calispursfan11]

Shut up playerfan. Your bias toward Leonard is a universally known fact and your opinion lacks credibility as a result. Shut up permanently.
