Just looked like the whole team realized Kawhi is the best player on the roster tbh
Was it just me or did Kawhi just seem to be a totally different player out there tonight. It's like this time off led him to the realization that he is the man on this team. His confidence was amazing. Not just how he played but also something else in his physical appearance and moves that looked different.
I actually thought he reminded me of LeBron for a minute just by the way he was moving. Can't pinpoint what it was exactly, but something definitely seemed different to me.

Playing very very confidently, every time he is around the ball he's a threat, every time he touches the ball on offense he's a threat. People think he forces things, but that penetration helps create for others by breaking down the defense.
He's taken his defense to a whole other level this year.
Yes I thought so too, physically and mentally because he looked so fluid, and because he had confidence he could create anywhere on the floor. At the wing, the post, baseline, he was everywhere, it didn't matter.
yeah, he needs to shave... Pop too
Yeah I agree, his braids seemed to have a different pattern tonight
Well when people start thinking below average players like Cory, Errors, and Gaye are good, they're brought down to earth when all the key players from last year's run are healthy.
Imagine you've been sitting out for the past week and watching Tony Parker play basketball in a Spurs uniform, tbh..
If you had Kawhi's ability and body, and you could make a change and stop Parker's destruction, wouldn't you come out like a man possessed?
I thought so too. He brought the ball up the court a bunch and was asking for the ball a lot today.
Looked like a guy that knows he's the best player on the team. He wanted to eat tbh.
Seems a very legit reason to me.
He looked hungry yet mature. The team definitely felt his energy.
He knows he is the best athlete we have, it's got to be frustrating having to sit and watch.
Seems like a perfectly stupid response to me.
Thats because you love some egomaniac player with no real skills and your perception of the game is very twisted, dont get me wrong maybe you are a mathematical genius or a great musician or a great police or a great person but the way you see basketball is utter .
Spur players knew he was fresh and feed him the ball
Thats because I see a team who needs the same players we had that won the championship last season.
This is a difficult proposition for fans who don't see basketball as a TEAM game.
You would make a perfect Lakerfan.
And don't get me wrong, you might be a perfectly reasonable lover of players individually, and not how they serve a common goal... This does not make you a bad guy, but seriously, go play tennis or something.
Leonard watched and learned from the bench
The arm sleeve???
Yeah, i know what you mean. I think he has a new sense of his importance the team. He looked better off the dribble, and seemed quicker on his feet.
He demanded the double team too which proves the offense can run through him in the post at least..they need to force the out of that post up and see how it develops.
I think he is a better player than any of the Big 3 right now..
Is a team game but then Porky plays for himself thats a paradox thinking he needs to score so badly to save the team and trying to look so cool at the same time...Epic Fail.
Tony should play tennis for basketball is too slow and cant see whats happening thats why every time he goes to the bench the team gets a lead or a few more points if they are down, why you cant see that?
Without Tim this team would crater
Because I can see value and faults.
Try it.
I tried and I only see him doing more harm than good, thats why Pop didnt trust him for the finals, the offense is so slow with him running the show most times he falls in a trap where he is double guarded and runs out of ideas and when the clock is reaching 0 proceeds to do some dumb shot or pass to a guarded shooter (very inconvenient).
Players never rotate and all gets very dull and predictable, I dont hate him but his playing style is stupid should get replaced ASAP why? for the good of the team.
