Championship caliber rebounds.
his biggest contribution since he's been back IMO.
Best SF rebounder I've ever seen.
"Stealing our rebounds" - BOBO. lol
Agreed...when he was out we were getting killed on the boards damn near every game.Quote:

And I would guess Leonard's rebounding pct. is probably higher since GS plays at a higher pace.Quote:

:toastI think Kawhi's rebounding numbers are more impressive because the Spurs play at a slower pace and Draymond is often the PF in Warrior line ups.Quote:

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:
You're bored huh!?! I understand. I can't sleep either.Quote:

kawi and tp make a great duo
Not really, they don't seem very compatible...Parker and LMA are a real duo/two man game. And Kawhi-Simms is an exciting combo to watch.Quote:

Nice double double :toast
Another reason I'd like to see Kawhi playing more minutes with the second unit...to keep building his chemistry with Jonathon on the floor.Quote:

Fucking SF rebounding like a center yo. :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..
I was just going to bump this. But got lazy. :lolQuote:

Remember one Kawhi-man-rebound against Warriors on the road in 2014 regular season...Amazing timing.
He's doing this thing all time

Hes a terrible rebounder on 2k :lol
They made him like a Vincer carter who can dunk anyone :lol
I want him to get the licence to go after them more often..he is great at corralling boards in traffic..I think Kawhi can be a double digit rebounder if he plays +38 minutes as he should in a playoff game..Quote:

Agreed. Those were epic. That rebound over Kanter was like watching Kawhi willing his team to the win!Quote:

Both Aldridge and Kawhi are sacrificing those numbers because for the most part, they're boxing out for Pau as the designated reboubder.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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).
