    Too early to say if they're an issue going forward, as he's only played the role of featured scorer for basically a few months, but he does shoulder a lot of the blame for this team constantly coming up short in close/overtime games. If he's going to be something like a co go-to guy offensively, then at some point he needs to be the primary reason they pull one of said games out.

    So many random games like yesterday's over the years where one or more of the big three flat out decided they weren't going to lose a game like that and through sheer will dragged the team to victory. I'm not saying Leonard can't, but we need to start seeing it.

    What games are you guys speaking of where he constantly comes up short? He missed two FTs vs Cleveland (otherwise had a monster game) and had a poor overall showing vs NY including down the stretch and suddenly he's some kind of choker. Let's just forget how big he's been during the last three postseasons as a 20-23 yr old.

    Nah, but perhaps someone else should be in for free throws. It's not like Kawhi is great at them normally.

    Yeah, because rebounding is important to free-throw shooting.

    In some, yes. In others, no. Late-game situations are not all the same.

    I'd say most, instead of some. Let's be honest here, Kawhi's free throws wasn't a result of Pop running plays for him. He made an offensive board and missed his shots. When's the last time Pop called a play for TD on FT situations? In the spurs case, Kawhi and TD are arguably the two best players in the team, not to mention legitimate Decoy players.. No team is dumb enough to fall for a Bonner, Joseph or whoever you want to replace the two as potential scorers...

    All that's well and good. But there are obvious situations where the Spurs are just trying to inbound the ball and get fouled. Those tend to be the possessions that Duncan has thrown away at the end of games this season, for example. In those situations, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have Kawhi on the floor if he's having FT issues.

    It all comes down to development I guess. If the spurs are going to pay kawhi the max, they can't have him seating on late game situations. It's not like he's a terrible FT shooter either. Pop just wants the kid the grow. It's the regular season..Perfect time to do it.

    agreed

    Kawhi is gonna be a focal point of Spurs O and opponent D, he needs to get used to and be on the floor in late games situation. He is almost a .8 FT shooter which is more than solid, he just need to chill in late game situations.
