Why are you convinced KL is the future when he was outplayed by TD?

[RD2191]

LOL go away

Why? Can't handle the truth?

So what is your plan Kawhi haters? Let the DPOY and a Finals MVP walk? Who are we going to replace him with? I'll wait for some answers.

[The Reckoning]

Kawhi didn't match up well with the Clips. No biggie.

The success of both Leonard and Green is largely the product of the Spurs' system.

Leonard has more talent than Green, but he still shines at an All-Star level because of the system he's in.

Both are outstanding players but they are lucky to be where they are.

Hopefully, both will remember that.

[loveforthegame]

I actually like KL, but wouldnt pay him the max, and I understand someone else will. Same story when Spurs signed splitter for 9 million. Why do that? Let someone else do that.

Wait. You'd rather let Leonard walk for nothing?

Also curious what you think he's worth?

Living in the past bro.

This is gold. You're one of the first to bring up Leonard's missed fts a couple years ago.

Kawhi would average better numbers if he wasn't on the Spurs. Green probably won't but Kawhi would.

there is no system after tim manu

[Clipper Nation]

We bounce in the 1st round this year. Thanks Kawhi.

Thanks Enrique. We wouldn't still be playing without his selfishness, heroball, and obsession with the two-man game. Rique, you the real MVP.

Enrique actually thought he could hang with CP3.

Yes, I'm sure Kawhi's number would take a huge hit without MVParkers assist and playmaking abilities.

[ChumpDumper]

Whether or not he will play up to it, Kawhi is going to get the max or close enough to where it won't matter.

Just be happy the Spurs have a guy like that.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I'm not trying to hate on Kawhi but, I'm not quite sure exactly what he'll be. Consistently missing crucial freethrows is a bad sign for a franchise-leading SF.

The thing is...I think Rudy Gobert is gonna be a total beast.

Would Utah trade their young potential 20 and 12 center for a young defensive player of the year with an improving mid-range jumper?

I think we should find out.

Timmy+Gobert would be ridiculous. That's all I'm saying.

Yeah, it's an embarrassment that you're bolded with such takes, tbh.

Our back up 37 year old SG averaged more assist than our starting PG this series yet Kawhi is a product of the system.

thegreatyacht post pics of the spurs game you went to bruh

[Clipper Nation]

Are Riquesuckers really gonna pretend this never happened?



At least Kawhi's misses still go anywhere near the rim

[tholdren]

So a franchise player, being defended by MATT BARNES, should have to get an 8th man to bail him out? You love KL, that's cool, but it's about the franchise. Would I take KL for 9-10 mil, yep. He's a great defender, offensively he's coming along, but he cannot dominate or control tempo. You have to do that to justify getting paid. cant hit a ft = no payment, if it were my bank account

Conveniently forget the part when KL could have won the game for the spurs then missed his FTS... is there a picture for that?

[RD2191]

Your defensive and offensive numbers take a huge hit when this guy is your starting PG.

ON/OFF COURT IMPACT
Virtually everyone is aware of the on/off impact that Kawhi Leonard has had this year with the Spurs. When Kawhi's on the court, they've played excellent ball. When he's not, they've been... shaky, to say the least. Fewer are aware of the fact that Tony Parker's on-court presence has been essentially the opposite. With Parker on the court, San Antonio has been outscored by one point. Their defense has been atrocious and their offense has been below par. With Parker off, they've been absolutely excellent, outscoring opponents by 7.6 points. Here are some simple numbers on San Antonio's team performance with Tony Parker on and off the court from the current season:

Parker's erratic play has been a big reason for San Antonio's regression on offense this season. The Spurs' offensive rating sits at just 103.6 this season, which is a pedestrian 12th in the league, per NBA.com.

The picture gets even uglier for Parker when you look at how San Antonio has performed with him on the floor. The Spurs have an offensive rating of just 101.6 in Parker's 1,213 minutes this season, the lowest of any regular rotation player, per NBA.com. San Antonio's net rating is a poor negative-2.5 with Parker on the floor, compared to 8.2 with him on the bench, a stunning difference.

Not all measures agree with this assessment of the Spurs’ point guards (if you’re a diehard PER partisan, you’re not going to find this persuasive), but Parker and Joseph’s on/off court numbers this season support the case: ESPN’s on-court impact metric has Cory Joseph ranked a respectable 21stamong all NBA point guards, with Tony Parker coming in at 75. The Spurs just aren’t playing as well when Parker is on the floor.

ouch

[tholdren]

again, we all knew Parker blew/blows = not news. The difference is you think KL can handle being the man. He cannot - hence Patty and Marco hitting the biggest shots that TIm didnt hit
