Anybody worried about Kawhi in crunch time games?

I'd rather have Leonard Iso then constantly throwing the ball to Duncan who can't really score on post ups anymore
Most of his baskets are assisted on pick and rolls, hand offs, tip ins

The only thing I'm worried about with Kawhi is his tendency to fall in love with the jump shot. Would like him to attack more.

I am more worried in him not being able to become as good passer as he needs to be. But i am nitpicking here.

Kawhi is shooting so well in this series and having really good numbers 16-28 FG 57% 3-5 from 3 60% 20.5 pts 7.5 reb 2.5 stl 3 ast in 36 minutes

14 shot attempts per game and 20.5 points...so effective. If people want he score more, just give him the ball MORE.

I'm not sure about this but I think one of Pop's adjustments is not calling plays for Kawhi for this game. I didn't notice any plays called for him to get the ball in the post. I think it's because Kawhi has yet to learn how to make the right play when double-teamed, as we have seen in Game 1. IMO, Pop's key adjustment that led us to a win tonight was letting Duncan do damage and make plays in the post. With perimeter players surrounding him, Duncan, as compared to Kawhi in game 1, was able to play his post game without that much defense from the Clippers. Expect the Clippers to make adjustments on putting more pressure on Duncan when he touches the ball in the post.

Kawhi misses a lot of free throws and 3s in clutch situations but otherwise he's a stud

Did you watch the game? Duncan did work on the low post. Yeah DJ is a excellent shot blocker but not a good post defender. Very much like Ibaka. We definitely have a better chance of winning this series if we let Duncan do play his game in the post.

Clearly not saying that

yeah, you gotta realize that you aren't allowed to criticize kawhi around these parts

That move and shot he put on Red was sweet.

Yeah Doc's a good coach and the Spurs are going to have to change it up to keep from being predictable.

I'm more worried about him getting the ball, tbh..

This. They either kept him parked in the corner or used him as a screener. What a waste of his talent.

Agreed.
