Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
Folks,
Kawhi Leonard can not defend Paul George. Only a respiratory infection can stop Paul George.
http://www.indystar.com/story/sports...orge/77304440/
I get it, a lot of people can not admit defeat -- hell, our neighbors down south are pissed it is fat San Antonian's stomping around the Alamo and not them. But to be so arrogant about it? The article really portrayed PG as arrogant, like the reigning DPOY is not capable of guarding him, not capable of shutting him down. It seems like Kawhi is leaving his mark on the league this year and other top players just can't accept the great season Leonard is having.
What do you guys think? Think PG's statements were as bad as KD's?

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
:lol he must have been sick for the past 3 weeks then, because he has been shooting terribly..
-
Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
Article blew it up tbh. There were definitely some open shots for PG when Kawhi wasn't on the floor. Nothing big here.

I'm sure the article is doing a disservice to Paul George, but that line about it not being Kawhi, Kawhi wasn't even in the plays seems like a subtle jab. It may just be the context of the article.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
PG might want to see a doctor and get some cream for that sand in his vagina.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.

Maybe.... CIA Pop had a canister of Ebola laying around and mutated Kawhi with it. Could have been during the offseason, a stipulation of Leonard's new contract.
Probably not though, Leonard is just balling.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
They could have been friends, but Larry Bird made Žem foes, one raped Lebron and the other was raped by Lebron this is the time to put things right... THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
Someone plz post Durants tweet post 2014 ring ceremony with the PG > Kawhi post...

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
Meh, I don't think its a big deal. It was probably a little of both - sickness and playing against the 2014 Defensive Player of the Year. The Spurs won the game, Kawhi outplayed him, and the team is now on a 6 game win streak. NEXT.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
To be fair, I just saw an interview on sportscenter with George saying Kawhi is a great player and that he saw this as a fun matchup and a "game within a game" in facing up against him. Still, his excuses about being sick all of a sudden is pathetic.

He gave himself and PG the kiss of death after this, tbh. Both got injured after that season.

Hey it's not like his face wasn't already injured before this.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
I went back a re-watched the game. Out of PG's 14 misses, Kawhi had a part in only 4 or 5 of them. He missed off-balance 3's and some pretty easy makes. He didn't look right when shooting either. His form was off. His only FG was a nice 3 with KL guarding him. I'm not sure why he played bad but Kawhi was not the main reason. On several possessions he had no trouble losing Leonard off screens. He shot an airball 3 with Manu guarding him and 2 other 3 pointers with Tony and Tim guarding him.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
I guess the OP is thinking outside himself.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
We're lucky as shit we have Kawhi Leonard. Dude is starting to beast.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
If this was the other way around, you guys would have used Kawhi's sickness as an excuse too.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
PG is saying he is not Jordan. Kawhi is a better player. He is better defender and a better shooter. % (numbers) don't lie. PG is a better passer than Kawhi and that is about it. PG is a great player. Top 4 SF in the League. Kawhi being better than him just shows everyone how Kawhi really is.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
Paul George sure looked sick after that Jordanesque behind the back fake spin fadeaway J move Kawhi put on him at the start of the game.

There is some truth to that. Either way, I think it'll just make Leonard play even better the next time they meet.

True that. But Kawhi wouldn't.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
Again with the fat san antonians.......sigh, Mexico supplanted the U.S. as the fastest nation on earth like two years ago, gongs it. Oh, and Kawhi plays good defense.

Oddly enough last nite was one of Leonard's game with nice assists.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
I understand what he meant when he said "Kawhi wasn't even in the play". He was trying to say that on some of his shots that Kawhi wasn't even defending and he was still missing. So that meant to him that he was just having an off night anyway. He just didn't word it correctly.
However, the times Kawhi WAS there did in fact affect his shots.

I can agree with that, if reworded, his statement is perfectly accurate. Kawhi had a monster night regardless of what anyone else says.
Think next time they match up, it will be more even and competitive between the two?

Yes Kawhi had a monster night regardless.
And yes it should be much more competitive. Especially if they are both healthy. George knows he will have to play better because there can't be an excuse next time.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
Like D-Wade said, "If I'm on the floor I feel good enough to play ball. If I get shut down it's not because I don't feel good enough to play ball"
-
Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
Some of this might explain why we have David West on our team.

Durant to Kawhi this year "Hold this L".:(

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
Durant is the biggest **** in the league. How come all our players don't play DPOY defense in this "system"? The fact is in his biggest moment game 6 WCF 2014 at home he saw Kawhi and feel down fuck that faggot crybaby craterface pussy.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
Feline fetish seems awfully happy with a spurs loss.

Re: Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender.
I wonder who the next superstar will be complaining about having a bad night?
Harden?
Anthony (again)?
Lebron?
Curry? (Jan 22)

Nausea from a respiratory infection?

Lebron complained about the short sleeves last year (or was it the year before?).
