Was it just me or did Kawhi just seem to be a totally different player out there tonight. It's like this time off led him to the realization that he is the man on this team. His confidence was amazing. Not just how he played but also something else in his physical appearance and moves that looked different.
I actually thought he reminded me of LeBron for a minute just by the way he was moving. Can't pinpoint what it was exactly, but something definitely seemed different to me.
Just looked like the whole team realized Kawhi is the best player on the roster tbh
Playing very very confidently, every time he is around the ball he's a threat, every time he touches the ball on offense he's a threat. People think he forces things, but that penetration helps create for others by breaking down the defense.
He's taken his defense to a whole other level this year.
Yes I thought so too, physically and mentally because he looked so fluid, and because he had confidence he could create anywhere on the floor. At the wing, the post, baseline, he was everywhere, it didn't matter.
yeah, he needs to shave... Pop too
Yeah I agree, his braids seemed to have a different pattern tonight
Well when people start thinking below average players like Cory, Errors, and Gaye are good, they're brought down to earth when all the key players from last year's run are healthy.
Imagine you've been sitting out for the past week and watching Tony Parker play basketball in a Spurs uniform, tbh..
If you had Kawhi's ability and body, and you could make a change and stop Parker's destruction, wouldn't you come out like a man possessed?
I thought so too. He brought the ball up the court a bunch and was asking for the ball a lot today.
Looked like a guy that knows he's the best player on the team. He wanted to eat tbh.

He knows he is the best athlete we have, it's got to be frustrating having to sit and watch.
Seems like a perfectly stupid response to me.Quote:

Thats because I see a team who needs the same players we had that won the championship last season.Quote:

You would make a perfect Lakerfan.
And don't get me wrong, you might be a perfectly reasonable lover of players individually, and not how they serve a common goal... This does not make you a bad guy, but seriously, go play tennis or something.

Yeah, i know what you mean. I think he has a new sense of his importance the team. He looked better off the dribble, and seemed quicker on his feet.Quote:

I think he is a better player than any of the Big 3 right now..
Is a team game but then Porky plays for himself thats a paradox thinking he needs to score so badly to save the team and trying to look so cool at the same time...Epic Fail.Quote:

Without Tim this team would craterQuote:

As I said a while ago - Tim and Kawhi are 1A and 1B for this team right now.
It's the beard and the arm sleeve

Not bad. I think "Go fuck yourself" will be my new auto-response to chump and blake when they randomly chime in with nonsense, don't even attempt to contribute to the thread, and then ask me to explain a post like they have a learning disability. It's simple, yet effective. Thanks. :toastQuote:

We needed him last year and we need him this year.
Are you going to tell me we are a better team without Tony and have a better chance at going back to back without him?
Seriously, I want you to type it out right now.
Keep crying. I know you can't take it.Quote:

He was ´till last season, if he is gonna play at his current speed then adapting the game to a slower pace is a must to rely less on athleticism.Quote:

Man, it's so hard to have a legit basketball discussion here..

I think he'll make it easy for me to say goodbye to Many when he retires next season. He's my favorite Spur now.
For some strange reason, felt that way too. Not sure if it was on the 2nd or 3rd quarter.Quote:

Kawhi looked great last night. It's amazing how much of a difference he makes in the lineup.
I was expecting him to be very rusty. Holy shit, I was wrong.

Everybody else knows this is Kawhi's team now except for Tony. We'll see if he figures his new role out very soon.
His conditioning shouldn't have been a problem. It was a hand injury, not a broken leg/foot. His shot was a little short to begin with but it eventually came around once Kawhi found his rhythm.Quote:

smh at Enrique and his subtle, jealousy inspired jab
But enough about the role player Enrique. This thread is Kawhi Pippen:
