He's getting plenty of touches and its important for other guys to get going as well.
I think Kawhi is playing really well, with a nice blend of getting his, getting others going, and spotting up.
He's been terrific at the 3, it boosts his stats, its a great shot that makes him more efficient even, and lets him rest for a possession or two so he has energy on defense.
Ah good, PJ at commentary for espn. I was worried it would be Barry.
You're fine, but the sad part of this story about Kawhi's post-ups is he was guarded by Harden the last, almost, 8 minutes of the 3rd quarter after Ariza's 4th foul...Quote:

The no-Kawhi post ups thing at this point it's pretty annoying
Also concerning in recent games is his attempts are with the clock winding down. The bail out attempts have to stop.
Tony's inability to recognize mismatches is frustrating. Always been a low IQ playmakerQuote:

Kawhi's lack of post-ups is on Pop more than Tony, IMO. There's no excuse line-up or otherwise; Kawhi post-ups are the Spurs best "need a basket" play.Quote:
