OP is a known faggot...
Noticed that as well. It was a pleasant surprise. That's always been the weakest aspect of his game compared to other superstar players in the league.
Yeah, something i've noticed this year is his lack of basket drives, always settles for a jumper.
I mean, its worked a lot, but I do miss his basket drives, he's so capable and should be laying down posters on some of these little bitches, like DJ and Dray Dray.
Dray Dray is such a little bitch, Spurs need to expose this fraud.
He just needs to work on lateral movement with ball, without, and on D. He needs quick feet drills.
Old boy slurps sausage, huh? Damn shame. He's a good poster that has stood his ground against many Laker intruders.Quote:

Here's to some faggots who are worth the read.
*gulp*
And to my Spurs brethren who always fight the good fight...
*gulp*
I'm going to chill for a bit before my woman gets home...
Maybe... my head... will clear up by then...
Unless Pop goes full Phil in the playoffs, Dray will be left up to the refs.Quote:

I take it like West should chuck a Horry on NashQuote:

Hes handling improved but its the spin moves of the dribble thats getting him seperation. Also it helps that hes 30lbs heavier than his rookie year.
wtf is wrong with this place now every response was faggot this faggot that
Absolute monster :cry
So we all agree he's a superstar right?
Growing before our eyes..Dribble drive..dishing..knocking down daggers :cry
I wonder how what their interpretation of dribble-drive is?Quote:

He's #1-2 on 3's, #2 on drives, he was #2 on ISOs in December, #5 in post-ups...Kawhi's just amazing.Quote:

Been saying this to a lot of people (td21) and Mid iirc, Kawhi needs the time and (touches in late game situations) to develop. Looks like he's given that now, look what monster he's turning in to.
There's been some improvement in his actual ball handling---but he is still forcing things, driving into three defenders far too often, and then having a problem with TOs -- when the smart move is to pass off or take a quick pullup. He's getting better at that quick pullup. That isn't the problem. It's the judgement factor that needs honing. Of course, I want him to be perfect in all areas.Quote:

This is the only way a player can develop. Unfortunately with the Spurs being in win now mode they weren't really able to do this with Kawhi in his first three years. He's only now starting to get those touches. He needs the experience with the game on the line type of situations.Quote:

The Refs have benefited from the fact that the Spurs don't REALLY complain like other teams do. Kawhi should be expecting calls at this point, even if they aren't superstar calls.Quote:
