Video: Kawhi Leonard scores 15 straight against Memphis

[milkyway21]

Lol @ fans saying TP deliberately ignoring Kawhi.

[K...]

Man it also sucks that the refs don't let kawhi decides when the game ends and begins. I've seen kawhi come so close to setting career highs only to have zebra man end the game. So unfair.

So this is the new version of 4 down?

[therealtruth]

Honestly when compared with two months ago, I would have signed in a heartbeat to get this version of Parker... he is coming back from one of worst nba starter to productive nba starter and he has a bit of time still to be more consistent. I think this Parker version plus a bit of conditioning is ok to be contender, bobo and tiago are also back, now and as mentioned by Harlem in his Malik account version, Patty and 3 pts shooting are the main areas still behind so far.

I think what made us so dangerous last year is that everybody was a threat to go off so it made it hard to gameplan against. TP just needs to remain a threat.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Some may think of it as a weird comparison, but parts of Kawhi's offensive game are starting to resemble the Denver version of Carmelo Anthony.

Very good in the midpost from the triple threat position. Midrange jumpshots. Working the baseline. Average 3pt shooter. Bully around the rim. Average ball-handling.

I see some similarities and for the most part, that's a good thing.

And add the fact that he's an incredible defender.

Nah, you're just mad that your favorite player got his streak snapped and your least favorite player played well at the end of the game. Immediately following Kawhi's streak, the Spurs got 8 points on 3 possessions (Tony and-1, Danny jumper, Tiago and-1). Yet you still complain. Christ almighty.

You can turn it into a player A vs player B argument but answer me these two questions:

1. How much confidence in the clutch could closing out in instances like these build for a young guy like Kawhi that's still figuring out just how good he can be?
2.How much confidence could closing out in instances like these build for an experienced vet like Rique that's been there and done that?

It's not the end result that is bothersome since the Spurs won. It's Rique's unwillingness to allow Kawhi to spread his wings completely, like I said I don't understand why he still feels like he has something to prove by going into 'closer' mode when he's been there and done that. Kawhi had 1 FGA the rest of the way and Rique had what, like 5-6 FGAs? Yet yall will sit there and argue that he didn't go into hero mode.

That's not how it went down though... They went to Kawhi again and he missed, and then Spurs just started playing their free wheeling offense. The movement, the passing up shots for better one for teammates.

3-4 possessions later

What the heck do you want, just keep force feeding him? Man... The Spurs are a team where everyone chips in... Tony didnt decide to just stop going to KL, on some hidden agenda tip... It just stopped being the best option. It was great to see everyone get involved after Kl offense, droppex the Grizzly guard.

Yeah, why not force feed him until it stops working? He was perfect from the field/FT line.

What about when Enrique goes into 'closer' mode aka hero mode in the 4th? Like yesterday or Game 5 of the Finals...how come the Spurs aren't a team where everyone chips in then?

Spurs looked easily superior to the Griz... Kl on Conley, man... I imagined being Conley for a moment, Kl arms stretched out and aggressive, it was terryfying haha

Agree which is why I wanted the ball in Kawhi's hands late. It would've done wonders for his development to close out a game against a team that never really threatened the Spurs much. Obviously against the top tier teams in the playoffs I'd rather Manu/Rique close.

So how is yours not a player A vs. player B argument?

Kawhi went 6-7 FG in the 4th, Parker went 4-6. Kawhi had a much better game, I'm not arguing that. But you're comparing 6 FGA for Parker to 1 FGA for Leonard in a 7-minute span as if the whole game were like that.

Given that the final margin was 14 points, I would say that just about the entire 4th quarter was closing time. Kawhi single-handedly brought the lead from 4 to 10 and he deserves props for it. So does the rest of the team that held and extended the lead until the game was no longer in doubt.

I say that Kawhi not only had a chance to "close" (because the beginning of the 4th was the most tense part of the game), he made the absolute most of it, and there was no true crunch time in this game because once Kawhi had done his work, the Spurs' lead was double-digits the rest of the way.

One more thing: Kawhi's run was started by the Grizzlies daring to defend him with Nick Calathes. After Kawhi hit his first few shots on Nick, the Grizzlies went to Jeff Green who didn't have much success, but contested Kawhi better. Once Calathes sat down, the biggest mismatch on the floor was gone.

[K...]

God damn it. Kawhi gets so much love from both Spurs fans, NBA fans,and the Spurs coaching staff but that's still not enough?

Y'all are really bringing your own senses of personal en lement and putting them on Kawhi.

I guarantee you Kawhi doesn't give a about parker running the offense. He is by far and away the most improved player since he came into the league, but god damn even that's enough. You people ain't gonna rest until Mike Jordan bequeathes the throne.

Why do you care how much love Kawhi gets? You sound like a big 3 mainstream fan.

Today I called maintenance to fix my closet door that continued to fall off in my ty apartment. In doing so, I accidentally slipped out that I had two pet cats. I woke up from a nap to see that I received a default on my lease stating I need to get rid of my cats or else I would receive a fee.

This apartment has been horrible. It's nice and right by campus, however, there has been multiple issues with the apartment. I also have no interest in removing my cats from the premises. I can pay a fee of $300 and keep ONE cat, but that seems not likely because these two cats are related and they cannot be separated.

I am pondering not paying the fine and getting evicted. I am a college student; therefore I am broke and cannot afford to pay all these stupid ass fees and continue paying rent. I am sure I'm not the only one that has been through this, so I need advice on the best possible option and/or what I should do or if I'm not making the 'smart' decision.

If you guys need any more information, I will be happy to give it to you.
