    I'm talking about iso-clear outs that create a one-on-one dribble-drive situation. Check out Leonard's stats on drives last season.
    This season he has better numbers than last season, not that great but still better.

    but he still doesn't get to the line enough for some reason
    Spurs system could be one of the reasons, even Parker in his best scoring seasons didn't get to the line so much, just 5 FTA, Kawhi 3.9 this season.

    But yeah, I would like to see the two man game between LMA and Leonard used more


    Other than that, I don't think the Spurs are under-utilizing Kawhi. He's only averaging 2 less touches per game than KD.
    I'm talking about how he didn't even shoot for whole quarters in the last games.

    For the first time in his career Kawhi is constantly getting double teamed. This takes time to get used to. If you turn back the calendar nearly 20 years you'll notice this is one area where Tim Duncan improved his game, working out what to do with double and triple teams and when to do it. Kawhi will get used to it and hopefully make the right decisions and improve as Tim did, whether it be to pass or shoot and when to do it, who cares as long as his decision benefits the team and doesn't take a Kobe-esque shot when there are multiple open players to pass to instead. Just last game I cringed at a couple of his decisions when he shot instead of passed the ball. It's a whole different ball game being single covered pretty much all of your first 3 years in the league and now suddenly having multiple defenders to deal with. Kawhi is doing great and even his D hasn't dropped despite taking on a bigger offensive role. We have an all-timer in the midst here!

    "Nah. People bump those threads of the re ed thing from time to time and you didn't post a word about it."

    I don't care about other Kawhi hate threads, but I don't like/understand others justifying the re ed kid insult.
    So you don't like one guy who did one thing that one time.
