Parker...

[AztecSpurHoops]

"MVP"

1 game... dumbass

[spurraider21]

its just 1 game, but it might end up costing him a starting allstar bid tbh

[loveforthegame]

Yup. He's been an embarrassment all season long.

[cjw]

He's in a funk. Whatever. He's looking ahead to Thursday against Lebron.

[DeRozan m8]

OP....you are the definition of a f@ggot and sound like you should be a Lakers fan.

Rot in , you piece of

[Mr. Body]

ty game. That's why you have other players.

[Leetonidas]

Kawhi will probably on James on Thursday now. Hopefully

Could be true tbh

I'm not a big fan of Parker taking 19 shots. He shot well tonight; but he needs to learn how to pass the torch, tbh.

I'm ok with it in days like today. Parker had it going and Kawhi clearly didn't. When things go back to the norm, not so much. Parker sometimes has games where he thinks he's still 28. I'm not a player fan, just a Spurs fan that likes the players on the team. I can objectively say Kawhi needs the ball wayyy more. Develop this dude. He's the next 10 years of the franchise.

I feel like us Spurs fans are getting greedy with Kawhi, though. He's gone from role player to top 5 player in the league in his 5th season and we want more

[DenialTwist]

First I'm worried about Danny and now it's Kawhi. Sheesh. Kawhi really looked out of it.
And...after watching Kyrie play against Dallas tonight, I am now expecting him to go off on the spurs on Thursday. Kyrie looks like he is back to his old self again after coming back from that knee injury.
Good luck to the spurs.

No doubt Kawhi is a great player but the MVP talks and best player in the league talks needed to be tempered.

Kawhi has a lot of developing to do offensively as far as being a better creator and ball handler before he reaches that status.

Hopefully he can bounce back against King James.

There is only one player with a more credible case for MVP than Kawhi. He had an off night and doesn't amp up the volume to try to make the night look decent going by raw stats. 1 game or a couple doesn't offset 30+ games of impeccable basketball. Dude has 50,50,90 shooting splits for the month of December and gets dragged through the mud after one night. SMDH

Depends on your criteria for MVP. If the best player on the best teams carries most of the weight for your opinion then I can see Kawhi there. Kawhi doesn't do a lot of the things the other top guys do though so its hard for me to say.

I'm not a player fan either. The Porker vs. Matt Barnes stuff is not my thing. Perhaps, I'm being too critical of a guy who shot 13-19. I just think Parker is resistant to someone stealing his thunder though. He's given some lip service; but I constantly see him using Kawhi like he's a third option when he's running the offense.

[kaji157]

Let me put it this way, if the MVP voters considers both sides of the court, there are only two players that can fight for it, LeBron and Kawhi.

Now, the reality states that the MVP is "The best offensive player of one of the winningest teams", so in that regard, while Kawhi is the leading scorer of a top team, he is not by any means the best offensive player.
He has to improve in many areas, as of now, his passing and his overall ofensive arsenal is doubtfull.

Kawhi, while effective, has few moves and is not able to exploit the attention he gets, that´s why he is not the MVP.

[dabom]

Kawhi is the best offensive player on this team though...

I still think the Spurs function much better if ANY player who is hot/has a mismatch has the freedom to exploit that mismatch, and the offense allows for it. I want Kawhi/LMA as the first options when all things are equal, but the beauty of the Spurs' offense is that it can hit an opponent from so many different angles. Force-feeding Kawhi because he's "the guy" at the expense of an offense that probes for and exploits weaknesses wouldn't be good for this team in the long run.
