Same, except I've given him the ex treatment in that I won't watch him at all for anything...out of sight out of mind...
His peak was the season and playoffs of Zaza.
Even in the Toronto year he had no where near the lift and blast of 2017.
Will be interesting to see the rate he declines this year. Or if he scores some Kobme type procedure or LeBron roids. Pretty sure he's already looked into those.

Ditto! Kawhi can stink up LA all he wants but he will never get love from die hard Spurs fans but instead the fair weather fans who have no integrity.
He won't even get love from their fair weather fans since LA is a Laker town. It will always be a Laker town so even if he wins down there he won't be loved.
And rightfully so!![]()
Sadly, he'll always be revered in the land of the frozen tundra.
It's the land of the cucks so not surprising. I'm sure one day they will build a statue for him and retire his jersey.
You are aware that Clippers have better attendance than the Sperms & that has been true since the “Lob City” era? San Diego is filled with a bunch of vets who have no affiliation with the local pro sports teams, Seattle on the other hand is a different story.
Please remind me who led the team in win-shares for the DURATION of the ‘13-‘14 season: https://www.basketball-reference.com.../SAS/2014.html
Also, please refresh my memory as to what happened to the 23 point lead & the “solid team” once he got Zaza’d? #salty
It’s not even about his at ude at this stage of his career. He’s not the same player. Offensively sure he will still put up 26 or 27 points. But his defense is a s of what it was.. He’s also not the same athlete. He’s fading fast. Plus he is still going to take a load of games off next season.
But he didn't singlehandedly win 2014 for us, it was a collective team effort. We're not gonna slurp a cancerous player after he leaves because he helped win 1 le for an already accomplished franchise.
As to your second point, I'm strictly talking about 2014, the last time the team rang.
Anyway keep sucking that Kawhi like your his best friend Castleberry. Piece of s supporting other piece of s.
Well he also lost 1 championship for us by missing a clutch free throw in 13. If Pop, Manu and Parker are being constantly called out in this forum, what makes Kawhi so special consider he achieved so much lesser than them for the Spurs.
I do not hated him but find it amusing that people get called out for pointing out Kawhi's unprofessionalism and weakness.
This!!! I loved Kawhi when he played for us and looked as like he was our future, helping winning a le and taking the torch from Timmy being the silent leader of the team leading by example.
I hated and still hate him for behaving in the worst possible way, showing the wrongest example and behavior a player could ever show (at the point of descouraging all other franchises to even think to offer something valuable for him as a trading asset) against the franchise that greatly helped him to gain confidence in himself and developing his game (just think about his shooting before and after the draft) at an all star level. The same franchise that decided to choose him believing in him while most other franchises (14 of them) were simply considering him not good enough to be an even late lottery pick...
He could have had some little reason to behave in such horrible (and imho criminal, because I'm still convinced that all he's done, probably under suggestion of his uncle, can legitimately being considered a sport's fraud ) way, but the reasons to be loyal and kind with the team and organization were absolutely more and more important than the possibility (that we all don't know, maybe except timvp) of some isolate episode...
Kawhi gonna Kawhi. Best part is the Clips mortgaged their future by forfeiting all their draft picks for these 2 drama queens. You love to see it.
Sperms literally were in the Jefferson “dark ages” before their savior arrived & went to 3 straight WCF. If it wasn’t for Kawhi, there wouldn’t have been a ‘13 Finals appearances & he was a 60% FT shooter so quit harping on him going 1-for-2.
Manure meanwhile committed 8 turnovers & split FTs before Kawhi despite being an over 80% shooter for his career......he also fouled Dirk.
Keep slurping Poop who has won ZERO series sans Kiwi just like he didn’t win shyt with Tim/Tony/Manure a season before the messiah arrived in town.
San Diego is a much better city then LA. It’s really not close at all. I’m ok if the clippers want to continue being that other team in LA.
If Kawhi is to be credited for the Spurs championship like a saviour than he has to take responsibility for the lost of championship. There is no two way about it. There's lots of parties that are responsible for the 2013 lost but similarly there are also lots of people responsible for the 2014 win. Diaw, Green, Mills and Neal joined or start playing significant mins around the same period that Kawhi join the Spurs and play their parts in the turnaround of the team.
Also based on your reasoning that without Kawhi the Spurs is nothing then maybe Green is the player that is really better. Cos Kawhi has never win a championship without Green but Green won one without Kawhi.
I am thankful to Kawhi for his contribution to the Spurs fifth championship. However regardless of what he did, it does not justify his unprofessionalism.
Been slurping for years, buddy. Better than some piece of autist with zero social skills.
Getting Duncan as healthy as he was going to get and nailing/lucking into re-building the perfect supporting cast on the fly to compliment the biggest three for where they were at, were the primary reasons for them regaining contender status.
Souped up Bowen was just a cog in the machine, not the savior the agenda driven, revisionist history types or trolls want to pretend he was.
Yeah, Danny came close to leading the team in win-shares & wasn’t complete ass in the postseason with the Raptors/L*kers. Nobody said Kawhi carried the ‘14 Sperms (quit making up narrative) but simply that he was a deserving FMVP. Folks make it seem like that was a flash in a pan when he literally led the team in win-share for the duration of the season.
Yeah, he was a “cog-in-a-machine” in ‘14 & a deserving FMVP. Those two things are mutually exclusive but keep on with your “souped up Bowen” narrative til the cows come home![]()
It works.
To put the metrics in context, what they indicate is he arguably played his role better than anyone else did theirs. But he was a role player, which inherently meant he wasn't tasked with the most difficult job, creating offense and being the focus of opposing defenses.
That's why a role player should never win it, it was a slap in the face of the biggest 3 that he did and the league should have done what they long should have and changed it to playoffs MVP.
The narrative midway through the '13 Finals about Green being the leading candidate was asinine as well.
could you imagine slurping a cancerous pos like kawhi for free??
they do this free of charge or even acknowledgement.
