    Leonard's playoff numbers have actually surpassed his regular season numbers by a substantial margin, tbh..

    He`s not a power forward. Never has been. He was exposed on boards.

    Spurs have to big. Smallball wont help on defense, since Warriors are jumpshoting team and it doesnt matter who`s guarding you, you can chunk jumper anytime you like. But Spurs had nobody to rebound missed shots.

    They are playing Barnes as false PF, put Diaw on him and let him shoot. He was like 30% on jumpers...
    Play high defense and let them shoot runners or floater over Duncan or Splitter.

    Spurs stop running those mid posts for him for some reason
    He makes that jumper 1 dribble to the lane off the post pretty easily and over most of defenders
    Nah...just let Manu run around and jack up 3s that NOBODY expects to go in

    Yep..

    Leonard is missing on jump shots, but he's scoring very efficiently around the rim..

    Pop's system only allows 4 players to create..the big 3 and Gary Neal..

    wtf

    he's playing amazing D. Probably a little tired from chasing the best shooting 2 guard combo in NBA history.

    We'd be fishing after tonight if not for Kawhi IMO
    Wow. You really don't watch the games, do you?

    Leonard is fine.

    The only criticism i have from him is that fact that he's too much of a yes man to pop and lacks the assertiveness. Pop's system does not allow Leonard to create shots, it's just the way it is. He's done a great job guarding thomposon, and is the only other guy there outside of duncan that is rebounding the ball damn well. He is a second year SF averaging 14-10 in the second round of a compe ive series while not having a single play called for him.

    People compaling about Leonard and at the same time comaplain about the teams lack of rebounding. Try getting leonard out of the game..see what happens.

    Again he's a second year SF averaging 14-10 in the second round of a compe ive series. Stop Complaining.

    Weakest strawman ever. How about putting Leonard at his natural position? You know, the one he played all season when the Spurs won all those games and grabbed all those rebounds?

    Leonard is our most consistent player right now. He gassed like the rest of the team today and needs to shoot with more confidence but not much else wrong with his game.

    The missed tip jam sucked. While I think Kawhi will someday be the guy, CURRENTLY, his level of play isn't as high as Chicago's Jimmy Butler, another 2nd year player.
    Kawhi's better than Jimmy!

    Leonard didn't cost us the game but those missed FT's hurt. I don't expect him to hit corner 3's he's been inconsistent but he needs to stay in front of his man and fight through those picks.. Today looked like all the minutes were getting to him.

    The one thing that we are also forgetting is that he's been battling that tendenitis or whatever in his knee and has yet to miss games in the playoffs or taken time off.. It might be affecting his shooting especially FTs when you gotta get your legs into it.

    When did Leonard become coach?

    Well if he isn't a yes man then he'll end up like Stephen Jackson.

    Nah, Sometimes you gotta grab the moment.

    Parker and Ginobili.

    Play within the system, but show more assertiveness. It be terrible if kawhi starts chucking but a little bit of aggressiveness and a couple more shots here in there and he'd be averaging 18-10. That's more than enough.

    When you told me to take Leonard out of the game, didn't you make me the hypothetical coach? Do the rules not apply when I turn it back to you for your weak take?

    I get the feeling Kawai is exhausted on the defensive end. I think Pop tasked him to put a majority of his energy in on the defensive end which might be costing him on the other.

    Probably, but he's a kid -- he can take it. I used to watch an old man named Bruce expend a ton of energy on Mamba and still drain jump shots. Just sayin.
