Kawhi's first playoff game as the true Alpha goes like...

[Chews]

Post your expectation and then vote what you think he will do. Does Pop let him loose, continue to try to get everyone else going, go for the throat?

[apalisoc_9]

Meh..He was already a top 5ish player last year...

I wasn't trying to imply he wasn't, but he is undoubtedly better this year and is the true alpha now that Timmy is gone. Skills wise he was the alpha last year but this is truly HIS team now and I believe we will see a hungry Kawhi who will impose his will on other teams and do whatever it takes to get a W. I want to know what everyone else believes.

I expect him to struggle again as the main guy. Not bc he isn't talented enough or lacks juevos, but bc he is still learning how to handle double teams and being the focus in playoff defense. But he'll be better than last year.

You think Pop will make lineup adjustments to better handle double teams? I feel with Tony and Green out there, when Kawhi gets doubled and can kick it out, the defense has plenty of time to recover because Greens inability to drive and Parker's inability to shoot. Seems like, to me, even when he is successful and makes the right play out of the double team, the team can't take advantage of the 4v3. I would like to see some mix of Dijon/Manu/Mills/Green, with Manu or Dijon a MUST if you play Green, to take advantage of the doubles if they start to happen.

LMAlpha is one of the best defenders in the league

These two and Kawhi will all have to play well for us to bring home a title. Don't care about the pecking order, just the Ws.

Regarding the guy on the right...that's like Clippers fans saying Mbah a Moute has to play well. Or GS fans saying Barnes has to play well.

They're role players that are best served when they know their limited role, stay out of the way, and remain at the bottom of the pecking order.

Tell that to Enrique. :lol

[Leetonidas]

Kawhi is hungry and knows he shoulders a lot of the blame for last season. I'm sure he wants to come out and prove he is a legit franchise player without Tim. Leonard goes off for 30+ imo

[Chews]

LMAlpha is one of the best defenders in the league

Crack is a hell of a drug. Good defender, not near the best in the league.

[Leetonidas]

LMAs is top 3 in opponent field goal % at the rim tbh....

[SupremeGuy]

First true Alpha since Timmy.
:flag:

You think fathead Anderson is good and LMA isn't one of the best defenders in the league. Delete your account.

I'm not an idiot, I know LMA is better than Anderson. Don't be a drama queen and overreact to my analysis of a basketball play.

[Spurtacular]

Wait, who was the alpha in 2015 and 2016, then?

Talent wise, Kawhi. I think most of us could agree that Timmy was still the leader emotionally.

Dude, you argued against something completely different. I'd say delete your account (also); but it's just one of many socks, tbh.

Show me my man and i'll be glad to own up to it.

So, it's not Kawhi's first time being alpha, and you're just admitting to trolling.

A simple review on your own would show you if you're not retarded.

[DPG21920]

Kawhi will beast. He's ready. He's already proven himself no matter what narrative people want to discuss. He is going to run amok on MEM.

[Chews]

Burden of proof is on the accuser bud. Dont accuse me of shit then tell me to look it up lmao

matter of fact get tf off my post with your lame shit, take that else where lol

The proof is on the page. I don't over-try a case for retards is all.

Post says "true alpha"... you think you can figure out what that means given the context of what i already commented or do you need another explination? lol

The "page" doesn't exist. Good day faggot, go post about jimmer.
