dabom....I've already explained (in detail) that posting things that could belong to anybody doesn't impress me. Like my MS State degree I posted with the " got" note on it. Technically, it could belong to anybody. And for what it's worth....you haven't posted a gotdamn thing yet...you just call people gots and at your own zingers.

You want to really show me that you're a civil engineer....just have a basic conversation with me about it. I mean for God's sake...I asked you what field you specialized in and you said, "I'd rather not say." Like it's a matter of national security for you to tell anybody that

Let's talk about structural analysis....cutting beams....free body diagrams...axial forces...moments...the sum of all forces = 0...the sum of all forces = mass x acceleration....traffic signal timing plans...Bernoulli's equation...thermodynamics...ideal gas law....whatever you want my friend.

Bottom line you ing scrub...If you can't do integrals in Calculus....I don't believe a ing word you say. I've done thousands upon thousands of them....and would accept the challenge to do the basic ones without any hesitation.

Now keep talking about posting your brother's EIT certificate....like that'll impress me.

Keep talking. You still don't have one.

Without MVParker, Kiwi literally only made on three point field goal, smh

Are you autistic?

[TheGreatYacht]

Are you autistic?

Why are you calling people autistic? Smh it's okay when you do it though, right?

[tholdren]

parker stan is idot and never accept the truth,parker lost the series last year,leonard played 4 gd games,and parker ? when he pass the ball,the spurs win,otherwise the spurs lost,because he plays heroes, basketball

KL lost the finals when he couldn't make a FT. He also lost the series last year when he couldn't score on Barnes. Sad that a "finals MVP" was out played all season and all playoffs by someone with one leg and almost 40. KL is almost as overrated as Carmelo

[DeRozan m8]

LMAO these Parker stans are hilarious.
You can find these insecure es - like TGY - in every Leonard thread, basically ting their pants and eating it.

No ones trying to take away Parkers legacy, he hasn't been very helpful lately though, which is the concern.
Plus he's older and isn't going to be what he used to be, as if someone who isn't stupid can't just see this?
Weirdos

[K...]

Wow, Parker living rent free, pissing in the sink, playing his own rap with a subwoofer so the streets shake......



....in a Kawhi thread.

We got em. Kawhi player fans never fail to expose their sensitivity. We didn't even have to bring up Barnes lol. Too easy.

[FkLA]

He is too quick to KawhISO and settle for midrange jumpers. He has the ability to score in other ways but settles for that one too often.

I think he'll get better.

Smalls playing in the post on a non-mismatch is bad offense. The fact that two of the four other players are bigs means it's really hard for him to get spacing, especially without taking someone out of the play. Then Kawhi doesn't get post-up and go. He dribbles a lot, and because it's small-on-small action, he doesn't get very far down into the paint. So he ends up taking a semi-contested mid-range turnaround. That's a bad shot. And then from the high post, he too often pulls up from like 15 feet, which isn't that good of a shot.

His game is antiquated.

Wut. His finishing and handles are still developing, which makes his midrange game the best part of his halfcourt game. I'm not sure why he wouldn't use it often just bc it doesn't fit yalls definition of what a good shot is? I mean I guess I could understand if he shot 40% over the course of an entire season but I don't see that happening. He was shooting closer to 60% during that great stretch last year to end the season.

[apalisoc_9]

A midrange isn't a bad shot if your hitting them at 43+%.

Parker and Aldridge lived off Midrange jumpers in their prime.




Someone is losing touches in the spurs, so people are a bit sour right now...If it wasn't for Kawhi's offense, the spurs were on route to possibly not even make the playoffs last year....

[FkLA]

Pull-Ups, Stepbacks, fadeaways, face-ups, etc

Great footwork. So ing smooth and fluid. Can get any of these shots so effortlessly, it's not like Rique who needs to run a loop to get a midrange brick off.

[spurraider21]

"isolation mix" starts off with a bunch of catch-and-shoot situations

nobody is denying he has a really strong midrange game... that doesn't mean he doesnt take some bad midrange shots. i think he can clean it up, though

[apalisoc_9]

Kawhi is actually much more efficient with a dribble shot than out of catch and situations..

[BillMc]

[Kawhitstorm]

I thought it was last game, but maybe it was Miami where Kawhi got awesome post position off a fake screen. He was like four feet from the basket when he caught it. And he just took it for a score. It was perfect. The idea of Kawhi taking a 20-foot face-up jumper from the elbow makes me nervous those are NOT good shots, no matter how good he is at hitting them.

Yeah he should be flashing to the post, sealing his defender then catching the ball & taking a shot without dribbling. Otherwise he could just seal pump fake then go up & under kind of like LMA. He can get the fade-away from the elbow anytime he wants so that should just be a bail out shot. Jordan did become dependent on his fade-away until his mid 30s. Kobe wanted to be just like Mike & was shooting fade-aways every other time down the floor when he was 21. Kawhi is still learning so I'm hoping he will diversify his offensive repertoire once he gets comfortable driving to the bucket.

[Kawhitstorm]

He is money w/ his FT line pull-up when grabs the rebound & bring the ball up w/ the intention of scoring. It's usually a layup/dunk/foul or pull up.

That's so stupid and irrelevant because that can be said for anybody. Timmy has a really strong postgame but takes some bad post shots sometimes. Danny has a really strong 3 PT shot but takes some bad 3s sometimes. Rique is really strong at sucking but can make a shot sometimes.

[apalisoc_9]

Seriously from last night, he took 2 "bad" shots at most....

Every darn superstar in the league takes a few bad shots every game. It happens, they have the ball in their hands most of the time....

kawhi takes too many bad shots, its why his efficiency dipped last year. i think he can get better with his shot selection

i'm sorry that you dont think kawhi can improve. u must be a hater

Not to mention the fact that it's the preseason tbh.

Has nothing to do with me thinking he can't improve. He can and will improve, but he'll do that quicker by doing it through his midrange game. Not by "not settling" and forcing stuff inside when finishing isn't necessarily his strong suit yet.

[spurraider21]

passing is an option too. when he gets the ball in the mid-post, he's deadly. a bully. he's also a bit of a black hole. i think he can improve in that department

[apalisoc_9]

"I want kawhi to improve by staying on his comfort zone"

[spurraider21]

being a playmaker isn't "in his comfort zone" and is the next step in his development imo. thats not going to come from jacking up more turnaround midrange shots.

apparently your idea of improvement/development is to do the same exact things but taking more contested shots

One, let's not act like he's Kobe. He takes bad shots sometimes, we can all agree on that but it's not so regular that he's shooting 40% or freezing out teammates. He's not taking shots over 2-3 guys. Two, some of you are too enamored with team ball. Yeah, 2014 was perfect but that style puts a lot of pressure on the system and on average players to shoot out of their minds. Having guys like Kawhi and LMA who can have success in isos is far from a bad thing.
