Parker taking more shots than Kawhi in the first 3 quarters of the game, was the reason why Kawhi was passive. There is just one ball.Quote:

Not it isnt..You're purpusloey being obtuse here.Quote:

It's very basic concept that you can't seem to comprehend. Allow a 34 year old to have the highest usage rate when hes on the floor and deny a top 5 player in the league...seems like a really easy option to me.
And you would have to be delusionally blind to not see that teams are more than happy with him shooting the ball.
More like 3rd year in a rowQuote:

I rest my case. Your lot wants Kawhi to be a ball dominant scorer so you can sit around and jerk off to his stats. It's as simple as that.
The Spurs also shouldn't be giving up 119 to the Pelicans and 105 at home to one of the worst teams in the league. I suppose that's all Parker's fault, too :lol
If WestBrick did what Porker does while playing w/ a top 5 player, he would be getting crucified.:lolQuote:

Love Patty's shooting and he's a great teammate, but more and more I'm thinking he's not going to be worth matching the money some scrub team is going to throw at him, especially if they sweeten it with a starting job. Barring an unlikely FA signing next summer, Parker should be the starter until Murray is ready. Patty deserves a big pay day but should get it elsewhere. No way he should earn even Danny Green money from SA.
Why do you act like if Kawhi being a dominant scorer is not related to Spurs success??Quote:

If Kawhi isn't dominant, this team doesn't get any chance to pass the first round.

Again, this goes back to the desire to see Kawhi have Kobe level usage and stats. You're an unabashed fanboy of his and would probably trade a title for an MVP for him.
If you still want to pretend your making your arguments on basketball grounds, guess what? A Kawhi/LMA one/two punch with a bunch of inconsistent role players playing off them won't be anywhere close to enough firepower to beat the Warriors and Cavs. This is what you don't comprehend. We're back to the same old problem from last year: No 3rd option. And again, Parker seems to be the only player capable of consistent double digit scoring (when healthy). Your coshitty idea ain't gonna work. Blew in your faces last year when Boris, Patty, Manu, West were beyond awful against OKC.
You cant seem to understand the dynamics of offense and defense. When teams have to worry less about Leonard and Aldridge, it puts too much pressure on the spurs defense in transition and even half -court sets.Quote:

Its not a concept thats unique to kawhi...its been happening since basketball was invented. Even simple pick up players understand this concept. Keep up.
stop referencing the game kawhi got his career high against the reigning champs :cry:cry:cryQuote:

A video doesnt do justice since Porker has enough ( Almost all-star level) usage that he's afor sure going to have moments when the ball swings. That isnt the issue here.
Kawhi isn't anywhere near the best offensive player in the league. So no. Him being ball dominant has no chance in Hell of beating the Warriors. If he was 2000 Shaq. Sure. But he ain't.Quote:

You just want to see him average 30. Cool. I want to win a title.
Wants more Cancer touches. :lmaoQuote:

He wanted the ball to swing to different players and he didnt trust Parker tendencies for that to happen..Thats even after shooting 8-12 vs Mills shitty night.
The truth.Quote:

That's NOT SUSTAINABLE.
The Spurs won't win many games with Parker as #1...One of many reasons? Because when the Spurs really need Kawhi to close the game in the 4th because Parker can't do it anymore, he will be so cold after parking in the corner most minutes like tonight.
