Kawhi needs to take the last 6 out of 8 shots of a close game

[dabom]

That's the one of the few aspects of his game he needs to fix. He needs to understand the BALL is GOING TO HIM at the end of the game.

Pop also needs to nurture this part. Kawhi so far doesn't still know when his shots are coming in a game. He will adjust his game so he can save that last burst for the end of the game.

This will allow Kawhi to not rush shots or force shots knowing when he'll get his next shot.

I'd rather win 55-60 games with Kawhi learning to close out games than 65ish games(we were on pace for 70) and not learn anything.

Stupid OP is stupid OP

Kiwi isn't clutch. The ball needs to go to LMAlpha.

[TheGreatYacht]

Thankfully we have MVParker and MAlpha

BOLD this nig!!

[K...]

He needs to be able to do that, not should or must. When lma was clearly gassed I was like ok number two, do some magic and here we are

[TheGreatYacht]

Best go-to guys on the team:
1. LMAlpha
2. MVParker
3. Green
4. MVPau
5. Mills
6. Simmons
7. Bertans
8. Murray
9. Arcidiacono
10. Forbes

Glad Pop is in charge and not OP. Lol, smh...

[DeRozan m8]

With a PG like Parker... Op is correct.

It's not just that. There weren't many close games to begin with. The famous .gif of Pop telling Tony to give Kawhi the ball was in a relatively close game. I think they are trying to get him ready, there just weren't that many opportunities.

He's probably going to have chances this season, without that historic defense we won't have so many blowouts.

LMA can't even get out of the 2nd round. "Alpha" crofl.

I like Kawhi, but as much as he's achieved already, he has yet to win a championship being the Alpha in the team. When he won, it was an amalgamation of contributions from a lot of guys and the big 3 were the leaders.

It's not about LMA vs Kawhi either. Kawhi's own achievements as a player need to stand out outside of the shadow from the big 3.

Playing with POS players like FATHEAD DWORST AND ENRIQUE.

NO LMA spurs would have gotten swept second round. Not saying he's a gamer, saying in one game I think he scored a few straight at the end. maybe a 40pt game?

She's a dude. But I've been posting that for years.

Kawhi or LMA need to take the last 6 out of 8 shots of the game. Alpha this and alpha that....stupid. Having more options, finding weaknesses in the opponent, outsmarting the opponent, passing and playing team ball wins. Am I on the Knicks forum???

Very good points. The best way to put it is that he and LMA need to establish chemistry among themselves and make it work. In reality the great teams in history have had duos or trios. It's no single man glory, playing with the teammates yields a better success than being a lone wolf.

When LMA was gassed??? Doing what, jumpshooting??? Kawhi was ripping rebounds out of peoples hands. He was making clutch defensive plays. It was KL who was truly gassed. LMA is the better offensive player but was getting his ass handed to him under the boards and that was the key to the series, second chance points.

I don't think you watch Spurs Spurs basketball you stupid .

This isn't 2014 where we had Manu going OFF and Duncan going OFF. This team doesn't have an iden y at the end of games. This is exactly so the Spurs/Kawhi can close out games in the Playoffs you stupid .

Yet you praise Kyle all the time....

He won the FMVP being the alpha that series....not his fault he lacked help the next couple of years....when you have a PG that constantly s the bed in big games, and turd towers like Diaw and West (plus a 40yo Duncan), as well as no SG for basically a whole season, there's only so much one can do.

Not to mention how hard he plays both ends of the floor....Kawhi carries this team so f*cking much tbh
