For the same reason why Kobe fans hated Shaq and Pau. Porker's fanboys just watched him eat in the playoffs again and need a scapegoat to blame it on. It used to be Manu, now it's Kawhi.
How many rings do KD and Russ have? Harden and Dwight? CP3 and Blake? PG13? How many has LeBron won on his own? Those guys are considered the stars of the NBA and what have they done?

Spurs won't win with Kawhi as the number one option on offense.
He was the runner-up MVP. His offensive game is limited and the pressure of being a number one option seems short-sighted. He doesn't deserve hate for that though, he'll only get better. But you can't put the offensive burden on a player like Kawhi.
hes our best player and he didnt want it enough
Can't say it's undeserved tbh
It's not his fault when he has absolutely no help on offense from anyone on the perimeter To take any, I repeat, any kind of pressure off of him.
But still, he needs to come up bigger if he wants to be a superstar. And this goes back to pop not letting him learn how to go for 40 every so often on blowout nights. How to carry a team through slumps a skill you learn. You gotta have the will, but you have to learn the skill.
Best player from both teams.
Max player not living up to the hype. As spursfan we expect players to perform better in the playoffs. Kawhi is looking a lot like parker, big number's against weak matchups but shut down when it counts. Yup totally porker.
Neither with LMA as #1.
But the Spurs can get success with Kawhi and LMA working as some interchangeable scoring tandem of 1-a/1-b most games.
They just need a decent supporting cast.
Westbrook didn't outplay Kawhi in the series, either Durant/LMA...but their role players killed ours.

Sorry but your opinion on that matter is horse , with all due respect.
This team was A LOT worse with KL out of the lineup this year.
He is a great player who is still developing and getting better.
I would not trade him for Kevin Durant straight up and I'll tell you why - he is an impact player on both ends of the court AND four years younger. Not to mention no history of foot fractures.
The bench of the Spurs cost them this series. Bottom line. The drop off was absolutely huge in this series.

I guess some people expected more from him this series and are disappointed. i think about this way though. Without Leonard this team is probably trying to rebuild with lottery picks.
Has been disappointing.
Cause he shrivels up in big games. He's the Dwight Howard of 2016
It's only from people who do not understand basketball.
thegreat is at it again. you still think parker is better than kawhi?
Hey you man, get out of here. Kawhi played well
Well he isn't top five player. Not yet. He was supposed to only be Bowen's reincarnation. Right now he's way past him.
I'd say he'll become a lot better. Even Curry got better at what? 27?
The deal with Kawhi is that the expectations have outpaced his progress. When he was just a piece of the puzzle, we all blew our loads when he would drop 20 and 10, with some steals and blocks. Now that the media and many fans are regarding him as one of the top 10 players in the league, we are pissed when he just has 22 points.
He is not a natural scorer the way guys like Kobe, Westbrook, Harden, Curry, etc. are. He just isn't. He can and will get better but his offensive game will always be of the derivative nature. He could never, ever, ever do anything remotely close to LeBron in the 2015 Finals, basically going 1 on 5 and putting up huge offensive numbers. But he can reliably get you 18-28 points any given night if he has some elite scorers around him. The Spurs are one reliably +20-point scorer away from seriously contending in the future.
how many perimeter players have won back to back defensive player of the year awards... while still having to be the #1 option on offense?
kawhi is tremendous. we would have one less le without him. everyone who doesn't appreciate him.
Pretty sure he said 2016, re
