Wow, are you ever the fanboy. Duncan shot a higher percentage. Had more rebounds. More assists. Even more steals. But Kawhi held Re to 4-12 (you forgot to mention Re 's 16 points, so Re 's TS% was actually good), so we'll give him the nod.
And I think scoring 28 on DeAndre is a lot more impressive than scoring on Matt Barnes.
If you get outplayed by a scrub in the 2 most important games of the series, yeah, we can essentially say you got outplayed for the series. Kawhi was in' terrible per the expectations we had of him going into that series. No way should Matt Barnes be outscoring you in a game 7.So Kawhi played great in 2 of those 3 games. But yeah...he was outplayed by a scrub in the series
defenders ball watching. I HATE THAT !!! when the ball if moving, someone , either Leonard, parker, ESPECIALLY DIAW, or green is ball watching and their man eases away from them and lines up at the 3 point line. pisses me off. Every other play it seems as if we were giving up an open 3 in the 2nd half.
Kiwi is the reason Matty Barnes is still in the league. Bad sign that he's still clanking crunch time free throws too...Leab Kiwi alone
So you think Kawhi should be in' excused for letting himself get outplayed by a broken down scrub in 2 consecutive closeout games?
"Well, he didn't get outplayed in like the first 4 games."
We make fun of Kobe all the time for getting outplayed by Bruce Bowen in an important road playoff game. Your man-crush should be held to the same standards. He got outplayed by Matt Barnes. Deal with it, and move on. Quit acting like a rube.
Mid checking bottom tier posters per par
Just like in 2013. It was a tony Porker brick rebound.
Tony wasn't anywhere near that rebound. Rodman couldn't have rebounded that Kiwi brickJust like in 2013. It was a tony Porker brick rebound.
Great win, fantastic D, statement game, you name it. But every Spurs fan here who knows his basketball and has watched more than 5-10 full Warriors games this year knows that Spurs have to be at least 25 - 35 % better than they were today (on average) to take 4 out of 7 against them. Just the facts. Can the Spurs do it? Yes , they can. But if this is the average performance the Spurs put up in a WCF series, it's not enough. Would be enough to beat the Thunder, Clips or Cavs in 5, but not the Warriors, unless they themselves have an underwhelming showing.
Because defending Jordan is the same to keep Red shooting under 34 FG%
You. I put it in perspective.
Four of them do. The other seven don't. But that's not the point. You're the one saying no one's given Curry issues this year until this game. That's not true. He's been unbelievable this season, but he hasn't been immortal by any means.
And so have the Spurs. There's no reason to assume the Spurs were somehow not a real defensive threat when they've been historically great all year.They've proven what they can do
It's not, especially when Pop pulled the plug so early. It's only concerning to chicken-little fans who think those things matter. Were you not giving the Spurs a chance in the 2014 WCF because the Spurs were swept by OKC that regular season?Post all the 120 point games+30 point losses the mid-00s or 2013-14 Spurs allowed? I'll even allow for 110-80. I'll save you the trouble. They don't exist. So yes, an elite Spurs team, perhaps the best Spurs team we've seen yet, getting beat down like that in a hyped match up is a cause of concern.
There's a difference between allowing a possibility and assuming. Your example as hypocritical as it was for you to bring it up, still doesn't explain why you think the SB are going to be THAT much better, especially looking at the rosters.You missed the point. My point in citing that situation was that you can't always assume player performance is going to trend downward because it's in the playoffs against a great defensive team. And yes, Curry/Klay are more than capable of adding those points. They can 40mpg per in the playoffs.
They really don't. God, you really think the Warriors are the head-and-shoulders better team, don't you?They have better role players than us.
Not really. I recommend that you go back and watch that first GS game. If you think that is somehow more indicative of a series than tonight was, I don't know what to tell you. I've never seen the Spurs try to little schematically than they did that game. The Warriors are the ones who need to make the adjustment now. The Spurs kicked the out of the Warriors' best lineup. That is the biggest takeaway from the first two games. If GS has to stay big to match up with SA, they are not the favorites.But a bigger anomaly exists, unfortunately.
Kawhi rebounded a Porker brick and got himself 2 free throws.
He actually got us 1 extra point we shouldn't have had if it wasn't for him.
It goes both ways my friend.Most frightening matchup for the Spurs since peak Shaq-Kobe
They were missing key rotation players, 6th game in 9 days, Curry had arguably the worst game of his career and they still kept the game close..
The Spurs have a historically great defense, so it's not unrealistic to expect them to hold GS well below their averages, but even if we give the Spurs full credit for their shooting woes, playing that type of defensive strategy every game is going to wear SA out by game 3, tbh..
MVParker gave us that lead, Kiwi gave away that lead.Kawhi rebounded a Porker brick and got himself 2 free throws.

Some cucks actually think that.
Some of the Warrior sucking here is disgusting
I'm happy that in a few months, when we're all celebrating 6, that it'll be that much sweeter for me knowing I never had that gimmicky Gay Area in my mouth.
JJ has .574 TS for the series. And he was actually efficient in that game you cited despite the poor raw FG%.
Try again.
Yes, perspective. The 3 good games Kawhi had doesn't absolve getting outplayed by Matt Barnes in two back to back close out games. He had a poor series, and only a raging fanboy (such as yourself) would believe otherwise.
FIFYJust like against the Cavs. It was a tony Porker brick rebound.

MVPorker got outscored by Mario Chalmers in the championship rd (aka series clinchers).
I only care about what a team like Golden State does against elite teams. He destroyed the Cavs in Cleveland, and slapped us around in the last matchup. That said, this game is encouraging, so we'll see if was a fluke or the Spurs can really give him trouble (as they have throughout his career).
See above. We'll see how they build on this game.And so have the Spurs. There's no reason to assume the Spurs were somehow not a real defensive threat when they've been historically great all year.
These Warriors aren't those Thunder. And I always give the Spurs a chance. Just how much of a chance is the question.It's not, especially when Pop pulled the plug so early. It's only concerning to chicken-little fans who think those things matter. Were you not giving the Spurs a chance in the 2014 WCF because the Spurs were swept by OKC that regular season?
LMA's relatively poor playoff history concerns me. As does Kawhi's overall offensive style. Those two aren't explosive scorers, traditionally speaking.There's a difference between allowing a possibility and assuming. Your example as hypocritical as it was for you to bring it up, still doesn't explain why you think the SB are going to be THAT much better, especially looking at the rosters.
I counted Draymond among the "role players." He's, metrically, one of the best players in the league. Bogut is basically a clone of Timmy at this point (both have similar defensive impact). Iggy is a Finals MVP winner. And Harrison Barnes is a consistent threat to score 15-20 points. If Parker finds his stroke again, Danny gets out of his slump, and Manu finds the fountain, then the role player advantage might swing back in our favor.They really don't. God, you really think the Warriors are the head-and-shoulders better team, don't you?
Keep handwaving away. I hope you're right, but see the Spurs as overmatched here. Puncher's chance. That's it.Not really. I recommend that you go back and watch that first GS game. If you think that is somehow more indicative of a series than tonight was, I don't know what to tell you. I've never seen the Spurs try to little schematically than they did that game. The Warriors are the ones who need to make the adjustment now. The Spurs kicked the out of the Warriors' best lineup. That is the biggest takeaway from the first two games.

I don't think it was a porker brick after all. My point still stands. Porker missed this one.

0:07.0 107-110 T. Parker misses 2-pt shot from 18 ft 0:06.0 107-110 Offensive rebound by K. Leonard
Yes, perspective.
Stop trollling. In game 4 he was 10-19 .52 FG% 3-6 3's 7 rebounds 5 asts 26 points.The 3 good games Kawhi had
lol dabom can't even enjoy a win over the Warriors.
He wasn't good in game 1. His numbers were decent, but I remember that game, and he was a non-factor and turnover machine (-21, as well). At best, it's an "incomplete."
He had a poor series and got outplayed in the two biggest games by Matt Barnes, bro. It won't kill you to admit it. Kawhi is still a top 3 player in the league, and should (more like he in' better) have a strong playoffs run (I'll forgive a poor performance against the Warriors, but he better light up Houston, Dallas, Portland and then get revenge on the Clippers or continue to around Durant).
