Uh, everyone knows this.
Next
LOL this clown and OKC are f*ckin SHOOK
It's an O League now . . .
The Spurs are struggling to keep up.
They are going to have "click" soon or it's back to the drawing board to come up with the next wrinkle that might get them one le until others start to beat them with it . . .
The team is leaning too much on LMA.
Need to get everyone involved
Straight to the bulletin board. I think the crowd will make it tougher for LMA mentally, but I also think Kawhi won't have the same game he had in Game 2.
He was a sequence of bad calls/plays away from beating them by himself on Monday. In a fluke game where everybody else was cold, OKC was hot, and where he didn't see a "one-man show" number of touches.... He literally was an Ibaka jersey grab and hack away from putting in a game winning layup for his 43rd point on just 22 shots.
I really think he could beat them by himself, but he won't have to.
Kawhi will bounce back. More worried about Tim than anyone.
Except for the FACT he didn't score a SINGLE basket against Kawhi & essentially all of his baskets in the 1st quarter came in transition off missed layups. Do you think it's a coincidence he has had a tough time scoring against Kawhi this ENTIRE series?![]()
Never said Kawhi couldn't defend him, in fact my statement supports Kawhi's D. However, Kawhi can't defend him all the time and the fact he absolutely abuses every other defender the Spurs put on him is worrisome.
There is a simple solution: Kawhi shouldn't be on the bench anytime WestBrick is on the floor & quit switching PnRs (just go under the screen & if he make enough pull up jumpers to beat you then so be it but he ain't no Steph Curry).
Kawhi gonna have to choke a .![]()
Unfortunately Pop has some kinda minutes restriction for Leonard.
Backhanded shot a Kawhi.
These upcoming 2 games are "defining" games for Kawhi. He can't live off 2014 forever.
LMA is due for an average/mediocre game, so Kawhi, more than anytime in his career thus far aside from the 2014 Finals, needs to step up on the road and dominate.
He's got the bulletin board material. This team desperately needs consistent perimeter scoring. Time to prove you're a legit top 3 player in the league. I'm not even suggesting he go off for 40. If he can give us a "Kawhi game" 25 points on 9-15 shooting, 8-12 boards, 3 steals, 2 blocks, while causing defensive havoc for Durant and Westbrook, that's dominant enough. If the Spurs don't win with him doing that, then I don't know what to say. Unfortunately, the Spurs are legendary at wasting great performances from individual players.
What does a minutes restriction have to do with Kawhi fading in the 4th quarter AGAIN offensively because he couldn't take advantage of a defensive matchup...Waiters? Stop deflecting. It's Parker, it's Popovich. How about Kawhi just has to nut up? The way some of y'all "protect" him you'd think he was your child. You don't like being called a one man team? It's simple... the player supposedly Top 3 in the NBA has to perform as such. None of this but...but...he's doing it defensively. Top 3 players don't get a night off on one end of the floor.
These are definitely defining games.
We can excuse the Matt Barnes debacle last season with "Sometimes things like that happen," but if it happens for a 2nd playoff run in a row, then it'll prove he's just not ready to be the offensive alpha.
His fanboys will blame Parker, though![]()
He's correct, obviously..this is the sacrifice the Spurs made, they are now a team that heavily relies on 2 players to do all the heavy lifting in a new system..
Biggest diss to Kiwi since Durant's system player tweet?![]()
Who gave this man the nuclear codes?!?!
Post more bro
The Thunder have no answer for Aldridge. He plays with supreme confidence against the Thunder for some reason. I hope im wrong, but I forsee him struggling in Oklahoma City. The Spurs big man baton is being transitioned before our eyes, and Lamarcus needs a signature on the road playoff victory against a conference rival.
Don't disregard LMA's burning desire to advance further in the playoffs than Damon Lilliard.
That will propel him through OKC.
He seemed very upset when asked about the incident, not revealing much but you could tell he knew be had an O board when Ibacka grabbed his jersey forcing a fumble of the ball. He's coming back for more. He's just going to have to get ready for the double teams and Timmy better come correct with better efficiency or his best partner might be Boban who I am sure Adams will not dare leave to double Lma. Each game is its own.
