I don't think Kawhi's scared. Dude's not getting any help at either end right now. And his coach is hanging him out to dry with his lineups.

Dude. Enough. Lots of fail in this thread. And a bunch of ignorance too.

He has a monster game if some of his shots fall. Sometimes they just don't go down. As it was he had 18, (20 if that tip in counted as it should have) he fought down on the blocks the whole game. Played great defense and logged heavy minutes. He is our one reliable big. And btw, wtf happened to Dedmon? He's basically gone from starter to mop up duty.

I for one, AM NOT on the bandwagon trashing Aldridge.

Game 1 was an anomaly. They destroyed as a team and LA never got settled into that racetrack. Oh and 44% on 50 3s will kill every team alive.

Without Kawhi gutsy 3rd quarter on pure will, we would have never had a chance on this game.

How is he a great role player? The only legit skill he has on offense is rebounding. It's hard to function with someone this limited.

Spurs most reliable defensive big.

[Slippy]

LA sure had his soft/ scared moments. Shooting fadeaways against Harden, missing Ft's in Ot and giving way too much on d when gaurding smalls at then 3point line.

Then you look at context of the game & realise he was usefull enough to help win the game. No Kawai or real playmakers to feed him the ball. Had some timely baskets in the 4th & he was relentless on the boards. Kept the ball alive on offense for the spurs. That tipin should of counted to help seal the win.

[Marcus Bryant]

4 down doesn't mean a 20 foot fadeaway.

[NASpurs]

He's not called Carmelo Aldridge for nothing.

[Nathan89]

He doesn't have much competition in that area. Defensive bigs usually have the essential skill of pnr though and LMA doesn't have that.

Only weakness is your OP, tbh.

As i said, monster game if some of those gimmes drop. Pop always says sometimes they just don't go in. That's what happened tonight. He was more efficient than Kawhi the other night...and that's tough to do.

Btw, is it weak when your boy has 0 points through the first several games and 9 TOs, tbh?

[eDizzle20]

I was going crazy watching him consistently settling against the guards of Houston, not to mention the layup he passed up in OT for a Patty missed 3. Also, could he be anymore deliberate. I've never seen him get the ball in the post and make a quick move.

[apalisoc_9]

Yeah...Just speaking in terms of the front-court Personel..

[-21-]

+1

I think he hustles his butt off on defense and on the glass but he's never gonna be the consistent second option we all expected him to be. With that said, he should stop taking those post fadeaways. His shots have to come from 1) open jumpers, 2) aggressive post-ups and 3) offensive rebounds.

The only thing Dejaun doing is eating some dim sum in china. Thankfull not here. Game wouldnt have been a contest or a win if he was still playing here.

[HarlemHeat37]

How is he a great role player? The only legit skill he has on offense is rebounding. It's hard to function with someone this limited.

He has improved dramatically on the boards and defense since his Portland days, tbh..if he loses 20 pounds and puts the work in to aid his athleticism(PEDs and training with Kawhi), which he should, he'll have the mobility to improve even more on D IMO, even at his age..

His offense is trash, of course, and I'd still rather see him get traded, but he's definitely been a high-end role player..

Not.

The point is he shouldn't fadeaway! I know that's his specialty but he is obviously not as good as he once was. He's got 5 inches on Harden. Throw your weight around, bully him. Get a hook, a layup, something! Not a fadeaway! He's wasting possessions tbh.

Fantastic point. He not a legit 2 & not worth 20 mill. Couldnt agree more. Can we ask him for some of that money back. OR would you like more Lee / gasol Lol

He stil helped the spurs win. We going to need him even more in game 6 if Kawai isnt playing.

I would like some Deadmon and Bertans.

I am not even going to list all the bad things he did in OT ALONE there are so many that it would take too much effort.

[Nathan89]

Missing two clutch fts to start overtime. After missing every clutch ft this reg season. It's really unbelievable how terrible he is.

[sasaint]

It's gonna be a great day when he's no longer on the Spurs. I just can't support players like him.

Unless we trade him, we are stuck with him until the summer of 2019. He knows he isn't worth his current salary. I think he opts IN next summer.

[Capt Bringdown]

Apparently so terrified by the possibility of getting his shot blocked, the 20ft fadeaway his now his signature move.

dont understand the idiots who are content with LMA shotting fadeaway jumpers and having a <40% game from FG.

the salary, the skills, the size etc I would have thought you wanted him to play Duncan minutes and own the paint and hit >50% FG. He is too soft - he misses impossible shit and is scared of getting his shit blocked. please say it ain't so Charlie...

[bklynspursfan]

I feel like he replaced Splitter , not really TD. That's essentially the role he's playing and the way he's played. Maybe looking at it that way helps lol...

Kawhi took the reigns from TD.

[YGWHI]

Without Kawhi gutsy 3rd quarter on pure will, we would have never had a chance on this game.

10 points in that quarter before to get injured...Also, like others say, his right knee seemed bad since game 4. They put ice on his knee every time Pop sat him.

This 2 bigs thing could work against Golden State if we make it. Draymond is 6'5" 1/2. If Aldridge/Pau can't back him down and score over someone 5" shorter than them, it's mind boggling. The Warriors were +54 with Green at Center & -24 with him at PF in the first 4 games of the finals last season. If we keep them big, we have a chance. Unless Leonard's knee/ankle is bad we're done :lol

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Not defending his post ups, both him and Gasol have been terrible at scoring in the post, however, Harden on a couple of fouls suddenly turns into Draymond Green defending in the post - he can push and grab and hold and do whatever he wants and refs would never call it.

[cutewizard]

Wish Duncan could come back, even for one last playoffs run,

just to show these pussies the way.........!
