Pop: It was Pathetic Performance

[TrainOfThought5]

Am i homering out for Kawhi?? yep. sure am.

but with his recent uptick in minutes, and efficiency i expect that to be his general stats, much like hes done in the last two games.

How many players have averaged 20/10/5 in the playoffs in the last 30 years? Kevin Garnett? Chris Webber? Hakeem? D-Rob? Magic? Bird?

Come on now.

LMAO! 18/8/5 is in the vicinity and also acceptable.

Pop should be happy. After they lost in the WCF he blamed too much success for the loss. That the winning streak was kind of a bad thing. Well no such problem heading into the payoffs this year..

I can hear Pop in the huddle "guys I need to see some pathetic out there"!

[superjames1992]

timvp what kind of stats will a breakout Playoff run for Kawhi look like?

the more i think about it the more i like 20/10/5.

LOL, no player in the ENTIRE NBA averaged 20/10 this season and you think our second-year 12 PPG small forward is going to in the Playoffs?

Some of you CoK folks need to cut it back a bit. A breakout performance would be more like 15 points, 6 rebounds, tbh. He'll get noticed if he puts those numbers up.

quite frankly, 18/8/5 is also acceptable.

It's kind of ridiculous. In '11 he blames the lack of rhythm chemistry for the loss and then in '12 he blames having too much success. You can't have it both ways.

You forgot Duncan(2002 and 2003 playoffs) and Barkley. But yeah, very rare to see someone average 20/10/5 line for an entire post-season. Leonard would be a franchise player if he had the ability to put up those kind of stats

I did a quick search as well and was kind of surprised that Webber never had those averages. The last players to do so between Barkley in 90/91 and Duncan and Garnett in 2001/02 (played only 3 games, though) were Derrick Coleman in 91/92 (only 4 games) and Drexler in 93/94 (only 4 games as well).

Problem in this game with Kawhis defense was that he may have had no clue who these players were he defended. IMO his big steps on the defensive end came against high caliber players he already knows from last season. He still should be able to defend the Hawks scrubs though ...
