Monster game from our max player. Just glad he's on our team, tbh.

His class and demeanor is what really makes me like him. No showboating like all the fake superstars int todays game. No jumping around and screaming like a re . No chest pumping. Just quietly killing.
Spurs would be very mediocre without KL.
Cheers.Thanks for posting.
those steals off of Curry![]()
people will say turnovers cost the dubs this game but its not like kawhi was picking off bad passes he was just straight up taking the ball away from curry.![]()
I think we had more TO.
yeah but im talking about the dubs![]()
one of them was a bad cross-court pass. the rest were just "yeah... i'm takin this"
These types of steals will stick in the opposition's head.
They mean more than just breakaway dunks.
Steph and others will remember you can't dance in front of this guy, and they will turn sideways to shield the ball. This immediately changes the quick threat ability. It's huge mental stuff.
steal number six was a pure gift off a bad pass but the rest were legit.
oh and btw, no hate but tonights best player was Danny "max contract" Green. TBQH.
green was the 2nd best parker sucker
Max player doing max player things. Nothing to see here.
Yep. He's a great fit here and I look forward to watching him play here for many years.
I was calling him "Steve Kerr" tonight because of how he kept sitting Steph Curry's ass down.
Kawhi activating Finals Mode tbh. Just bullying people with similar size as him (Barnes and Igua) with ease. Also Curry doesn't have the athleticism needed to do work on Kawhi so if he can get some huge advantage via a screen he has no chance.
That drive and finish on Iggy, one of the best defenders in the league, was reassuring. I always feared Kawhi's comparative lack of "freakish" athleticism to other great scoring wings would hold him back somewhat from being a dominant penetrator (see his poor shooting stats off drives), but he's really learned how to use body and length to finish effectively in traffic, moreso than last year. And his footwork in the post was outstanding here.
He's turning into a versatile offensive player, and is improving game-by-game, showing us moves we haven't seen before.
I'm really disappointed that this Claw nickname seems to have stuck. I mean the inventor Patty Mills even said it was The Hand, not The Claw. I mean could we atleast call him Dr. Claw geez. He's still the Kingslayer to me.
"Killing me softly with his CLAW!!!!!!!!!!"
Barnes, Iggy, Thompson, Green. GS had no one who could stop him. Kawhi's has perfected his jumpshot and hook like Durant where they used their complete arm length (wingspan) to their advantage. It makes their shot impossible to stop when their on.
That might be the best I've ever seen him play. Like some have said here, he seems to just get better and better. He's not terribly consistent yet but that will come with time and tweaks to the system.
