Bump.
He used to be great from the corners, but he's practically bricking everything over the last month. Even his mid-range J and free throws are hurting.
I loved his intensity and energy tonight, but when he can't hit jump shots, it really screws up the offense and doesn't help our spacing, either.
Bump.
no worries, seems he forgot to make free throws too
at spurfan hyping us this guy as a future all star
i made this thread in around February and everyone laughed
hes shot below league average since february from the 3 point line and his shots are all open
and with hero 9 playing hes relegated to spot up shooter
He looked rattled tonight at the free throw line. Kawhi is doing everything else though( defending,rebounding.) Will he keep his poor shooting up? Don't know, but everyone was off tonight except Duncan.
Most of the Spurs players are piss poor shooters. I can't stand how bad they are at shooting (when that is the one thing I am somewhat good at. lol, really pisses me off watching a lot of them try to make a jumper. With a shooting coach like Chip Engelland they should be much better, or at least more consistent.
It seems to me, that some of the Spurs players are scared to get into a shooting contest with the Warriors, kinda like they have an inferiority complex that they can't match GS's shooters. They just gotta shoot with confidence and forget about how well the Warriors are shooting it.
Spurs allow 62 points at home in the first half and people worried about making jumpers.
Spurs were lacking confidence on the offensive end in the first half IMO. That, to me, was part of the reason why they were in a hole.
The defense will improve and Kawhi will have a better scoring performance. The FT's were questionable but that 3 is something he's missed consistently so not expecting them to fall all of a sudden. I'd rather he use a pump fake and drive to the hoop.
When your down 6 allowing only 38 in the second half and can't make open shots.. Uh yeah.
People that aren't morons are wondering where the ball movement, the defense, the takeaways, the shot blocking, and the points in the paint went. But you keep focusing on jump shots.
The Spurs scored 17 points in the 4th quarter and only allowed 38 points for Golden State in the second half, too...
There were a boatload of open threes that would have cut the lead to five or so that were bricked by Kawhi, Hero, Manu, and Verde.

There were a lot of those in 2009 and 2010 and 2011 too. Playing to get three pointers is losing basketball. That was the reason Pop talked about a return to defense and started Splitter and Duncan together.
Not sure why people keep mentioning it as though it matters. The Warriors were in the lead, they never gave it up. The Spurs' lineups put them in a position where even holding the team to 38 points in the second half wasn't good enough to make it a game. Also, their offense suddenly sucks and they're running plays for three pointers. Honestly, guys, am I the only person that remembers how that turned out?
Ive been saying it all year. You can even go back and check. You live by the 3 you die by the 3. This team has become way too reliant on the 3 point shot. Danny Green and his fluke 3s won't get you far in the playoffs.
I am sure you or some other Mavs fans were hyping Roddy up to be the next... HAHAHHAHAHAHA. Stay fishing man, get out and just stay fishing sir.
Thats what has failed them the last few years, no doubt. The D is the key, they lost that and relied on threes! Thats a gimmick o! Late last year they played pretty O and had some great movement and were clicking! Outside of that run man the damn O has been reliant on stupid threes and we know as SPURS fans that never worked against us! We don't have a CURRY out there as far as shooters go from three, not even close.
Yet the Spurs are trying to beat the Warriors at that game. How much sense does that make?
NONE! THEY HAVE NO PRIME SHOT BLOCKER! DRIVE DRIVE AND DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your thread was all what I was thinking when Kawhi was laying all those bricks
Though, I agree to some extent, had those jumpers fallen we could've won the game.

Of course. Warriors scored more points when they were enable to run, and defense wasnt set properly. It looked better in second half, when Spurs decided to attack the paint and have closer shots and threes werent awful bricks as well. Even if they didnt get through, defense had enough time to set. Warriors were limited to under 40 pts I believe, Curry had difficulties to set free and Thompson was open once for 3pts shots.
It looked like Pop did good corrections, but shots didnt fall through.
Kawhi is fine. Everyone shot like tonight. Next.
