I don't give a about misset FTs in the regular season, even if it costs a game win. But is clear that Kawhi can't lead a team to a championship. He shall be the #2 or #3 in a contender, but not the #1, the star of the team.

What about him?
On a nationally-televised game, they treated this like a rematch of a heavyweight le fight, with the greatest player in the world* in one corner, and our guy in the other. Our guy more than held his own. You better believe he looks like a max player to me.
What ing game were you watching, OP?
*who missed two free throws to lose a game about two weeks ago. (max player)
Keep your emotions out of it. Your nervousness reminds me of kl at the line.
Read my op.
I just don't think kl can be a number 1.
Lebron missed a couple to lose a game a couple weeks ago.
Has Boogie even led you to the playoffs yet? MAX players do at least that much.
Nervousness? I was nervous three years ago when they had Matt Bonner starting. Not sure why you'd want to go back to that. And you don't think Leonard can be a number 1 because he did the same thing Lebron James did two weeks ago. You probably want to see how he responds to it before you make that kind of judgment. But it's easy to pile on right after something bad happens. It's an 82 game season.
He's a pro missed game winning fts. He's got a problem, like the rest of the spurs, with closing. He's a really good player. He plays both ends. He's no tim duncan
I'd pay him for ting on LeBron James in the NBA Finals rather than try to pay him less because he missed some FTs in a regular season game tbh
By that rationale, neither is Lebron James. Sounds like your standards are a bit too high, scroht.
Lebron is the ultimate choker. Had Leonard hit fts in 2013 lebron and his "legacy" would be should a could a would a...
Go back and look at lebron and the final 4 minutes.
He was 1-4 with 3 turnovers and I think parker hit 2 shots over him during that same stretch.
Robinson and Duncan both had issues with FTs late.
They turned out all right.
Tim rookie 21 ppg 12 rpg
Dave rookie 24 ppg 12 rpg
Kl best year 16 ppg 6 rpg
No way you could have seen all of them play and state that kl is close to their ranks. absolutely defies logic
So Lebron James is not a max player in your opinion. Glad we got it out there.![]()
Point is, you can't judge the ability to make a FT late as some basis of being a franchise player. Especially if you've been a Spurs fan for any good length of time.
KL's a kid. We'll see what he can do as a franchise player. He's a uva player, has tons of potential. But people need to pump the brakes and just enjoy.
Karl Malone was known to brick a few free throws late in games. Irrelevant but I like to bag him out
Meh...
He tends to come back strong after a letdown. Spurs - Cavs Finals will probably happen. Probably not a bad thing that the good guys lost this regular season game. They'll remember in the playoffs.
I'm pretty sure Shaq was a max player...
why are kawhi defenders bringing up 7 foot + 300 lbs + dominant bigmen to the conversation?
it's simple. Kawhi clean up your FTs and stop missing late game freebies. simple.
No, he is. but he also has a history of choking
two more missed clutch FTs from Kawhi
one would have given us a 1 point lead in the final 90 seconds and the other a two point lead in OT.
