Truth bombs from re ed fans imo
I'm 99% sure if Kawhi was ours we would complain about him being too passive on offense when it counts most.
Flame me - but he's just not an all-time, mega-star guy. Still the best two way player, who's improved on offense ... but that's it.
Steph, Jordan, Bird, Lebron, Magic (in his own way) ect ... will(ed) their teams to wins in the 4th ... All the time. They take the game over.
My point is - for all the love I see him get on this board, I wonder what we'd be saying if he dissapeared when the game was on the line as a Warrior.It's not a lack of passion, it's a lack of skill
He's just not a real #1 option on offense. He's not a guy who can take over a game offensively.
Doesn't mean he's not a great player though
A little like criticizing Steph for not locking people downhttp://forums.warriorsworld.net/main/msgs/4137358.phtmlSpurs Talk has a thread led Barnes>Kawhi lol

^Our re ed fans agree with their re ed fans
I don't know what this ers are talking about. It's extremely difficult to be "active" when you're double and triple teamed every-time you touch the ball. Because no other Spur was shooting well (including LMA being injured), the lanes were a closed. But every-time Kawhi went to the line he raped those s. I guess they think Klay is better because Klay can go off once in a while for 40+ points against scrubs? All in all, Kawhi played his game. He managed 23 points (8/12 FG, 2/3 3Pt) and was basically the only one who offensively succeeded against the Worriers' defense.
Leonard got the beaten out of him with few whistles. This has been an ongoing theme for months now and Kawhi is sick of it. Opponents try to stick their knees into him as he drives all the time or bump him and he is strong enough to play through it.
Rainbow Warrior fans thought the NBA was invented in 2010 or 2011. Their opinions are meaningless.
I'm not impressed with 15-20 offensive fouls/moving screens every game by Bogut and Green.
GSW has had to endure ONE extended run in the playoffs facing injured teams for the most part (*).

Some of us fans who are objective have made the same comments. Most Spurs fans overrate Kawhi because he's a good guy and a feel good story. In reality Kawhi is a great defensive player with some offensive skill but doesn't have the ability to take over games or make anyone better.
Great points, they had a cupcake walk to the le last year... One play that made me turn off the tv was when that re draymond set an obvious moving screen on Kawhi to get a layup. Kawhi being an obvious top 5 player in the league and gets no calls like he's Jonathan simmons
He must take more than 12 shots in a game of this magnitude.
The do dubs fans know about basketball? They sucked for how many years?
If last night was the only game they've seen Kawhi those uninformed opinions are possible. When Pop has Tony bring up the ball and puts Kawhi in the corner possession after possession what is Kawhi supposed to do? Take a rebound and chuck a three immediately after crossing half court?
Comparing Kawhi to Steph isn't fair shot attempt wise because Curry has way more control over the amount of shots he takes. If Curry had only taken 9 shots or so going into the 4th Kerr would be ing at his team. Pop on the other hand didn't do that last night.
The biggest problem are the no calls on Kawhi. It's getting ridiculous. Kawhi only scored 4 points less than Curry and that includes uncharacteristically missing 3 freebies. I'm totally fine with Warrior nation under estimating Kawhi.

Huh. I've watched him take over a few games...
Not shocked since Laker fans have never been impressed with spur players. they thought prime Tim was overrated when he won his MVP awards.
Meanwhile Iggy and David lee won the finals for you
It is evident he has been getting fed up by looking at this body language.
I hope he doesn't get too frustrated (and mostly nobody injures him), specially if the pattern of Warriors getting away with that holds in the playoffs.
He might need to be ready to play through that.
Kawhi is a product of the Spurs coaching staff and system.I'm 99% sure if Kawhi was ours we would complain about him being too passive on offense when it counts most.

You can't "create" the killer instinct of a Michael Jordan that way -- that's the one thing the Spurs' system can't do.
A player either has that (or doesn't) way before he reaches the NBA.
Lol. No.
Lol. Yes.
They must have been really impressed with the rest of the team.
Oh you do? Ok thanks for sharing re
