Imo the problem is with expectations of KL.
His strengths are clearly momentum changing steal/dunks; The ability to hit the open 3; Athletic rebounding that give us possession; And he has now developed a post up game;
But his handles, 1 on 1 ability to beat people off the dribble, and distribution ability are clearly not consistent all star level yet. IMO it's our fault for not getting him easier shots to get him going. OKC is giving LMA shots but not KL. They are going at KL tough on the perimeter and daring him into the lane to double him. Sure he can make the toughest shots on our team, but he can't do this for an entire series. This is where the rest of the team needs to expose OKC (besides Aldridge). KL is not Lebron. He cannot PG the team.

From Kawhi not getting the ball or set plays to why the hell Pop made him an offensive threat when he can't handle it?

No. Why would he? His article for Leonard's game 2 is still warranted.Quote:

Go ahead and Google pretty much any article about the Spurs 2014-2015 season. Everyone knows that the Spurs have tried to make Kawhi a bigger and bigger part of the offense each year. Tony has pretty much always been a ballhog, but Kawhi nut-huggers that just started watching the team in 2012 wouldn't know that. It's not like Parker just started chucking in 2014-2015. But Kawhi was a bigger part of the offense in 2014-2015 than in 2013-2014 and the team took a steep nosedive.Quote:

Actually, I probably have better insight into Kawhi than most. I sat court side for almost everyone of his home games at SDSU. I am very good friends with someone in the SDSU athletic department and was able to attend a lot of booster banquets with the team and coaching staff. But that is beside the point because the stuff I am referencing is really plain to see for anyone that pays attention to his interviews or press conferences: Kawhi is an incredibly shy, quiet dude who does not like the spotlight. Almost borderline Autism spectrum. I don't even mean this in a derogatory way; it's what gives him his work ethic and is a million times more desirable than flashy, "me-first" guys like Westbrook and Harden. But I think it also means he lacks that killer instinct of guys like Kobe, Westbrook, and Harden on the offensive end.Quote:

Kawhi is coming off the bench next game, right? Clown.Quote:
If you took away his defensive skills, I don't think he is in the starting rotation.
The fuck is he supposed to say? "I want to be good, but not like super, super good." Yeah, the guy wants to be the best player he can be. But saying it and being comfortable with that pressure and spotlight are two very different things. Again, it's not a coincidence that Kawhi flourished in the shadow of the big free-agent splash that was Aldridge.Quote:

What kind of point were you trying to make by saying that? No shit a player isn't as good if you remove the best part of their game. If you remove Steph Curry's 3 pt shooting ability he's a marginal NBA player. Oh wow, ok and?Quote:
