Championship caliber rebounds.
his biggest contribution since he's been back IMO.
Best SF rebounder I've ever seen.
"Stealing our rebounds" - BOBO. lol
Kawhi is tied with Draymond Green as the league leader in rebounding at the small forward position. :toast
Averaging 10 rpg since coming back, with 3 double doubles in 6 games (was 1 rebound short of 4).
Draymond Green has played half his minutes this season at the 4, too..
Rebounding improved with Leonard back

Eric Gay /Associated PressSpurs coach Gregg Popovich talks with Kawhi Leonard during the first half against the Milwaukee Bucks on Jan. 25, 2015, in San Antonio.
From Dec. 17 to Jan. 14, the Spurs were outrebounded in 11 of 15 games.
In the six games since, the Spurs have won the rebounding battle four times, twice by double digits.
The difference? Kawhi Leonard is back, for starters.

Kawhi's ability to rebound like a center is going to win us another ship. :lobt2:
:worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy::w orthy::worthy::worthy:
kawi and tp make a great duo
That Kawhi-Simmons synergy legit. :toast
Nice double double :toast
This dude is the reason people don't get offensive rebounds if he is anywhere near the rim.
Fucking SF rebounding like a center yo. :wow
love when Kawhi hits the offensive glass..that huge one off LMA miss late in the game to make it 4 point game..Amazing how he kept it with Westbrook trailing behind :wow..
Also there is another in first half when he wrestled with Adams and eventually got a shot attempt off it going down on the ground..
Remember one Kawhi-man-rebound against Warriors on the road in 2014 regular season...Amazing timing.
He's doing this thing all time
:claw
:claw
Hes a terrible rebounder on 2k :lol
They made him like a Vincer carter who can dunk anyone :lol
The board with 20 seconds or whatever left was huge. But I was impressed with the one he ripped out from Kanter's hands. If that wasn't enough, he then throws up an attempt while falling down to get the foul call too.
Awesome pic. :tu
Bump..
They are fuckin down this year..:pctoss
Also him getting isolated on an island while guarding the opposing team best player (Matt Moore article) has hurt his ability to get caroms on defensive end being far off on the perimeter. At this rate he is going to dip under 5 Rebounds per game by season end..
Some posters are more enamored with Kawhi's regular season stat line than his first round exits.
Don't worry. His rebounds still look IMPRESSIVE.
Memphis was a first round bye. I'm not going to acknowledge one of the worst playoff teams of all time a series win.
The Spurs had won four championships behind Duncan as the #1 option (I should note that prominent Spurstalk talking heads have told me on a number of occasions that two of those championships were basically all Tim Duncan with very little supporting cast - 2003, 2005) The Spurs didn't really have a number one option but he was arguably the best player on the floor. In that time, the Spurs were eliminated in the 1st round three times.... 2000 - Duncan was injured, 2009 - Duncan was gassed, 2011- fools gold
It's funny because we can say a lot about the first round against Clippers, how Parker, Green, Manu, Boris underperformed, how bad Pop adjusted for Doc's high double screens, if that was the first time that Kawhi faced double-teams...and more.
But who cares. After all, it was all 23 years old kid fault, right?
He still passes the eye test as a good rebounder, though. I see him pulling down important rebounds, like in the above gif, somewhat frequently. Maybe it really is the circumstances being different. Rebounding is such a randomness-dependent thing, when you think about it...you have to just be in the right place when the ball bounces off the rim randomly (technically deterministic, but difficult to predict and thus appears random).
