Kawhi next season, just needs to improve his play-making skills & start getting to the line as often as his All-star peers.

Says the basement dweller.
Lakerfan scared kawhi is only 1 championship away from being > kobe
You can't bring up Kawhi and not mention Paul George.
He is pretty good but Kawhi destroyed Paul George in their one meeting so far this year. It's almost weird to say this but Kawhi is a much better offensive player than he is too imo. It's easily arguable to say he's better on both ends of the floor. This wasn't the case a few years ago of course. . .but it is now.
It's obvious Lakers fans are shook about Kawhi being a top 5 player (with potential best player in the league status) for years to come.
It's also obvious they don't watch him play nor do they look at stats beyond per game stats, which is typical for fans of such an antiquated organization.
Kawhi is one of the best isolation players in the league, averaging 50 percent shooting in iso sets. The only wings better are Jimmy Butler and Kevin Durant. For comparison's sake, Russell Westbrook averages 35% and Lebron averages 40%. Kirby averages 27%
All Kawhi needs to add to become an elite offensive player is playmaking, which he's been doing.
Granted, I don't see Kawhi becoming an elite of the elite offensive player (comparable to KD, Lebron, Curry), but he'll remain a top 10 offensive player in the league for awhile. When you factor in how defensively dominant he is (he's by far the best perimeter defender in the league), it quantifies him as no worse than a top 5 player in the league, which he will be for the next half decade at least.
Lakers fans think Kawhi was just "plugged" in to a system and he's flourishing because of that. No. The "system" is being rebuilt around his strengths (the Spurs have turned into more of a grind-it-out team now, running less motion offense).
I understand their anger, though. Their future is bleak with D'Bust and Julian leading their youth movement.
I didn't watch the game so i'll take your word on it. But usually, I don't put too much stock on one meeting. SAS is just on another level right now, so i'm not surprised George struggled against an elite defensive unit.
Kawhi>>>George on offense
Kawhi>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>George on defense.
Jesus ing christ these casuals.
You also implied once that Paul George is not on Harden's level
George is not on Harden level. Harden is having a lazy ass season but lets not froget his season last year. Only 5 players in the game can do what he can for that sorry ass injury riddled Rockets team.
I hate james harden but impact wise he is argubly top 6...if hes motivated and not banging Kardashians.
George is so overrated defensively and offensively even. Take a visit at pacersdigest forum, indy fans who watch every game also with positive bias think that George is overrated and not in the elitr list of players.
As of now, KL is a better player. he's having a historic season, whether he sustains it or not, we'll find out. I feel like George is being overlooked though, considering he had a career ending injury, it's a bit surprising he's performing at this level while leading the Pacers to playoff spot (25 PPG on .600 TS% and having superstar-like usage to start the season). I understand the love for Leonard in this forum, but let's not forget he had a pretty awful post season last year (12.5 PPG 40% TS) with Doc putting effectively using Jamal Crawford as a stop gap.
One thing Leonard has is natural growth curve because he has remained in the same system with the same core lineup and just had his offensive role slowly grow as he develops and the big 3 age and have to take a step back while PG had significant role changes for the past 3 years and is now thrown into the fire carrying a huge load of Indiana's offense.
Boban Marjanovic IMO
Curry is having a great run but I don't believe he is going to be the best player in the league for the next 5 years. To have that type of run would be up there with Jordan's dominance of the league during the late 80's and '90s. I just don't see Curry being able to pull it off. There will be some guy who gets better in the next few years who will leap frog him.
Off subject I do laugh at the Laker fan who claims Kyrie will be the best player in the league in the next few years. I think Kyrie is done being a great player after having that major knee injury during the finals. Kyrie is going to have a Derek Rose like career from this point forward in which he will look great in spurts but will be mediocre the majority of times.
Big Dummy, Doc started doubling Kawhi after he had a career high 32 & it worked b/c Danny Green/Tony/Splitter were terrible along with Diaw not being able to hit an outside shot. He started forcing shots out of frustration when he was out of rhythm which didn't help the cause. In any case, that was last year when his outside shot wasn't elite & he wasn't used to double teams.
how about a guy who puts up empty stats cause his playing on a team...
there are also guys who dont put up empty stats, impacts the game but due to management and roster, is always on the losing team
5 years?! I think his reign at the top lasts maybe 2-3 more years max ...
Davis also worries me injury wise but has the best argument maybe Wiggins figures things out or KAT or even Porzingis 5 years is tough to project
why are spurs fan slighted when people compare kiwi to paul george ? is george that bad or is kiwi really just on another class???
Not sure. Kiwi is definitely better on defense. Offense I thin it's close and pre-injury maybe even you could argue PG was slightly better. Kiwi has been amazing but imho it's still Curry and Lebron at the top but I would consider Kiwi along with the OKC duo, Adavis and Blake at #3 ...post injury PG is a notch below that.
Curry did not have the body to hold up that long. Once teams start physically checking him consistently, he's gonna start breaking down. He's already been fragile throughout his career to this point.
Check their forums, they dont consider George as a cream of the crop player. Why are LA fans so agitated that the Spurs's future is looking bright?
I'm not bro, sa ating dalawa lang ha, I'm notCheck their forums, they dont consider George as a cream of the crop player. Why are LA fans so agitated that the Spurs's future is looking bright?
Because Lakerfan, especially after the drafting of Bynum (who showed promise as a top big), used to say, "Our future is bright! The Spurs will be a bottom feeder once Duncan, Tony, and Manu get old/retire! I can't wait."Check their forums, they dont consider George as a cream of the crop player. Why are LA fans so agitated that the Spurs's future is looking bright?
They also saw a bright future after the Dwight signing, while continuing to write our epitaph.
How it all changed so quickly.
Even them getting 2 straight lottery picks didn't do anything for their future prospects
D'Bust and Randle are worse players than Boban and Simmons.
