Agree, they need more shooters to spread the floor.

You can hate Iso-teams but OKC is one of them. The biggest difference was the Thunder role players/2nd unit did the job. Kawhi and LMA weren't that lucky with their teammates.

Pippen didn't average more than 21 pts per 36 minutes at ANY point of his career. Meanwhile, Kawhi averaged 23 per 36 this season.

Besides, Carmelo at 24 averaged 36 pts per 100 possession in the 2009 postseason when the Nuggets reached the WCF. Kawhi averaged 35 per 100 poss this postseason on better efficiency.

LOL bragging about kawhi scoring 22 pts on 23 shots. I'm sure you weren't one of the guys mocking Kobe for his 60 points on 50 shots or whatever it was

Other than Leonard and Duncan, the Spurs played like shit tonight. Not much Leonard could do when his team didn't show up to play in an elimination game.

Call them crazy, but I think they are looking for rings, not individual awards.

Yeah if only there was a way he could push his teammates to play their best in a critical game. If only there was a way he could take control of a game and keep his team alive when they need him most. What's that called again? Leadership? But when had anyone ever done that in the NBA...

rings are a team effort. kawhi would prefer a ring over an individual award.

his personal accolades shouldn't take away from how great his play his.

i wouldn't blame Leonard. Fans should blame the players that played like shit tonight.

Yeah, but be honest: None of us really think he deserves to be MVP at this point in his career. We'd all give our left nuts to trade him for LeBron or Curry.

Like if those individual awards have nothing to do with Kawhi giving all for the Spurs and leading them to one of their best regular seasons.

Not trying to shit on Kawhi tbh. He's a terrific #2 guy for a team to have. With the right alpha male leading him, he is capable of great things like Finals MVP. Just like Andre Iguodala.

Agree, others were bigger issues, but the expectations on Kawhi are that he will transcend poor play from his supporting cast. That's what league MVPs do. The question presented is whether he is deserving of those expectations.

Nobody is stupid enough to defend anybody on the Clippers the way you're defending Definitely Not A Superstar, Second Banana Leonard.

In Gm 5, Durant had 23 pts on 21 shots (was awarded 2 bogus FTs when Danny got tripped) but I didn't see you crying about it.:wakeup

I'm surprised that Cripples fan are even aware that the postseason is more than 2 rds, hanging regular season banners!:lmao
