Kawhi regressed

[daslicer]

He deserves some criticism. He had 3 ty games in a row offensively. On top of that for being a defensive player of the year he didn't get it done today Barnes went off today and he couldn't stop Paul when he was switched on him.

robdiaz2191 Right after I posted that, you immediately post in the Parker Is a thread

[TheGreatYacht]

ing scrub cost duncan his 6 and 7. I hate him.

[RD2191]

Yeah yeah we get it, you hate Parker. Why even post? Every post you make is the same regurgitated hatred of Parker. You have almost 30K posts worth of Parker hate. We know already.

answer brah. how was kawhi supposed to take over when parker was chucking out there?

[loveforthegame]

It's amazing how they went away from everything that was working for him the first few games of the series, tbh..one of the most poorly coached series' I can remember from Pop..

This. They went away from everything they did for the last couple months. Now obviously Leonard didn't do himself any favors but using him as a screener, parking him in the corner, or using him as a passer up top is not playing to his strengths.

[wildchild]

He completely failed in his role as the go-to offense and on top of it has played very inconsistent on the defensive end.

You know how many attempts he had for game in the regular season? And this game? If you know that, you should know he isn't the head of the snake on Spurs offense.
He isn't even the top Spurs FGA in the season.

The guy is a choker and can't hit free-throws even when there isn't any pressure.

WTF? This series? He made all his clutch FT's in game 5, he was 5-6 in game 6, and 2-2 this game.

[wtgspurs]

He wasn't getting touches until the end...Pop messed the game up. Even though Tony was doing Okay, he should've played Patty instead. I'm sure we would've wont with Patty in the 4th

[ducks]

3 bad shooting games in series

[ducks]

Not many steals in series

[TheGreatYacht]

3 bad shooting games in series

Matrix couldn't shoot as well, perfect comparison tbh

[Grit and Grind]

He's only a max player because there are so many ty FOs in this league who will throw max money at players like Stoudemire. So sadly, yes he still has to get the max but he completely failed in his role as the go-to offense and on top of it has played very inconsistent on the defensive end. The guy is a choker and can't hit free-throws even when there isn't any pressure. The honey-moon is over for this kid, I expect to hear hate for him on this forum for years to come. Shame.

Stoudenire was a max player doe

Doc should thanks Pop to play Kawhi in this way and never call a play for him in entire quarters.

But most of the adjustments aren't Leonard's to make. The real change has to happen around him, in passers like Parker, Ginobili and Diaw—in the play-calling, too. These Spurs have adapted before, evolving from a Duncan-centric post operation into an uptempo pick-and-roll team infused with heavy doses of Parker's penetration and pull-up game.

All true the le, the Spurs aren't doing enough with Kawhi Leonard.

[Sean Cagney]

The second and third best teams in the league this year just slugged it out in 7. It's not like we lost to the Mavs or a team from the East.

He's 23 - will get better.

^^^ This, the story is not near settled or over on him yet at 23 years old. He was great through 4 games and declined after that in the series that is for certain but honestly he has a ton of time to continue to get better and he will.

Your boy folded under pressure, when the eyes of Texas were upon him he hid. You need to acknowledge it, that's the first step.

[therealtruth]

Barnes really outhustled and outplayed him this game.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Big Players make Big Shots in Big Games. Pretty much this whole series he has been ordinary. I'm

How the you let Barnes and Re go off yet not punish them down low on the offensive side?

How was Parker this series old got?

[Keepin' it real]

A pretty shocking decline considering his play toward season's end and the first half of this series. He lost his confidence. I wonder what happened to him?

Stay focused. This thread is about Kawhi. I'm sure you can find other threads to complain about Parker.

LOL. Name calling.

[hitmantb]

Guarding CP3 on the other end is too much drain on him.

Pop was burned by LeBron-on-Parker after Parked pulled his hamstring in game 5 of 2013 finals, so he thought Kwahi would do well against Paul today and that is fine.

But all series long, having a heavy weight small forward against a fast point guard is just not a good idea.

How was Parker this series? .

[K...]

Clippers game planned kawhi. They were ready. I thought he would dominate but the spurs never established him. He didn't regress, the spurs did.

This game?
How many shots he missed in the 4th? 2-3? And in the first quarter? 0?

Why between the 1rst quarter and the last he can't get touches? He got the ball in the post when Crawford guarded him in the 2nd and 3rd quarter?

When Tony runs the offense his primary looking are Tim or Boris pick and rolls and his own shooting...
When Manu runs the offense it's about penetration and Patty, Danny, Beli, Kawhi in the corner for 3's...

How Pop has involved Kawhi offensively except the isos?

Give him the ball in his comfortable spots and not in the 3 point line, involve him in pick and rolls, that's my first step.
