The pre-draft assessement of Aldrdige was spot-on

[Kawhitstorm]

You wanna talk about one game? Let's talk about one quarter, the 4th quarter...

You mean the game they had no chance of winning b/c Dominos was going nuclear (outscored the ENTIRE Spurs team by himself) on his home floor?

Gm 5 was in their hands & their for the taking (OKC was held to 21 points sans the bogus final 5 points of the game) but Softridge/Porker wet the bed, they were miserable at shot making. Softridge also got "solved" after Gm 2 when Donovan put Adams on him full-time ala McHale putting Asik on him after he feasted on Terrance Jones in the first two game of the 2014 postseason.

The main culprits:

1:08.0			90-90		T. Parker misses 2-pt shot from 19 ft
1:08.0	Defensive rebound by D. Waiters		90-90
0:55.0	Shooting foul by D. Green (drawn by K. Durant)		90-90
0:55.0	K. Durant makes free throw 1 of 2	+1	91-90
0:55.0	K. Durant makes free throw 2 of 2	+1	92-90
0:43.0	Personal foul by S. Adams		92-90
0:43.0			92-91	+1	T. Parker makes free throw 1 of 2
0:43.0			92-91		T. Parker misses free throw 2 of 2
0:42.0	Defensive rebound by R. Westbrook		92-91
0:42.0	Oklahoma City full timeout		92-91
0:30.0	Turnover by K. Durant (lost ball; steal by D. Green)		92-91
0:11.0			92-91		T. Parker misses 2-pt shot from 20 ft

[TheGreatYacht]

Don't be a got after AFMadison owned you, you resorted to posting the same crappy tweets by ty writers... Now you're doing it again?

I provided numbers for you. He outplayed Kiwi. Plain and simple. You can't spin it

In the 4 losses Spurs had to OKC, Kawhi averaged 3.25 points in the 4th quarter (6 of the 13 points came in Game 6 garbage time)

For the WHOLE series, Kawhi shot 8-22 (36.4%) in the 4th quarter

[Kawhitstorm]

For the WHOLE series, Kawhi shot 8-22 (36.4%) in the 4th quarter

Softridge: 39.7 percent for ENTIRE final FOUR games of the series.

so you admit that kl shrinks in the 4th. great, moving on

Why are you deflecting on Kawhi's crappy 4th quarter performance by showing eveybody else's performances? Surely you jest showing Tony Parker's numbers. Why don't you just already blame Roberson for OKC's epic collapse against GS.

This thread is mainly a deflection thread by the OP to cover up Kawhi's bad performances in the OKC series. There is no doubt Lamarcus was bad in some of these games but so was Kawhi. They were both equally inconsistent. Honestly I don't think one is better than the other. They are both all-star caliber players but neither of them is a true superstar.

Talk about comparing apples to oranges, I didn't know Roberson was the one hogging the ball & had to be screamed at by Donovan to pass the ball to Dominos/WestBrick:

I just stated the FACTS & the Kawhi haters turned it into a deflection thread. They COULDN'T handle the truth.

TBH it is a deflection thread and you know it. Kawhi got slammed here for a few weeks for his ty performance hence all these threads by you slamming LMA. If you read my post I said both of them were inconsistent in the playoffs and neither are legit superstars. By your logic I guess I'm a hater of both. If this thread was created by any other spur fan I could look at it with objectivity but in your case it's very obvious you are a hardcore Kawhi fan boy. Everything you post has to be taken with a grain of salt since you have obvious biases just like Fox News.

Yeah, well maybe if Kawhi didn't spend 85% of his time cowering in the corners and actually showed an ounce of leadership as the supposed go-to guy by demanding the ball, Parker would have somebody to pass to. Pop shouldn't have to be Leonard's mouth piece.

Bruh, I don't MANUFACTURE stories like Fox News. I just spit FACTS & let folks marinate it them, I NEVER said Kawhi dominated in the 4th quarter like Kobestans.

[GSH]

I think it's pretty funny that people are mad at LMA for not being a grinding, low-post, Center. That's not what he is. You might as well get mad at him for not being a PG. The Spurs need a grinding, low-post, Center. That's not LMA's job. He was a BMF at the things he was supposed to be doing. (For those not alive in the 70's, that's roughly the same as LDN.) Too many people want guys to be X-Men and obliterate the compe ion so they can crow about how "their" team won another Championship.

You actually quoted a DraftExpress article that said LMA's best case development was to be another Jermaine O'Neal? That wasn't a red flag to you?

TheGreat got and Hoops got getting worked like LaMarsha in the paint ITT

[DPG21920]

It's so funny seeing that Hardwood tweet. OKC was not solvable but SA was? He said it was just game 5 where SA missed shots, but he didn't want to go the full "not give credit" route and just say in the series SA missed good looks when the stats show it.

So, SA was solvable and OKC was not when SA held the 2nd best offense in the league to under 100 in 4 out of 6? OKC looked solvable in GM1. I guess that 1 point difference in GM2, that win by SA in GM3 & that 4 point difference in GM5 (even GM4 was close for most of the game) really shows that huge glaring difference and OKC solving SA!

Logic and facts? No place for them in this discussion. Just call him " got" and throw in some emojis. Get with the program.

Actually, it's RD2191's account when he's trying to act sophisticated. A poster like this usually latches on to a host like Harlem in hopes that posters will like them (ie. dabom) and they won't come off looking like the inane, simpleminded, degenerate fool that they are in real life. This clown couldn't even breathe in Harlem's airspace let alone read and post on a conversation that was above a second grade reading level.

I'm not sure what your issue is w/ the Jermaine O'Neal comparison. They are both slightly built lanky 6'11" black-holes who shoot jumpers & fadeaways. O'Neal was a MUCH better defensive player & didn't mind banging in the paint thus they were basically claiming if LMA ever grew a pair he would be a Jermaine O'Neal type player. (FYI: Softridge got drafted in 2006 when JO was STILL relevant & an All-Star player which is why he was the go-to comp player)

BEFORE he got injured, O'Neal was a MONSTER. It's too bad he got injured early in his prime like McDyess & was a s of himself. In 2003-04, he was the best player on a team that won 61 games & he finished 3rd in MVP voting. He also made the All-NBA team three times in an era where you had PRIME KG/Tim/C-Webb/Dirk/Sheed. (Bosh for example has only made the All-NBA team ONCE in a less compe ive era for forwards)

I also remember that PATFO wanted to sign JO in the summer of 2003 to replace Admiral:

“I think the Spurs are actually in better position right now going into an offseason than they’ve been in any offseason since 2003, when they had just won a le,” Spurs reporter Hector Ledesma said on CBS Sports Radio’s The DA Show. “They were coming off Tim and Manu and Tony Parkers’s first year together and they were going to go chase Jason Kidd or Jermaine O’Neal in free agency

Leonard crapped the bed in game 2 in the 4th
Leonard crapped the bed in game 4 in the 4th
Leonard and Aldridge crapped the bed in game 5 in the 4th.
Leonard and LMA came scared and crapped the bed the whole game 6.

cowards. both of them, but more so KL

[Kawhitstorm]

Leonard crapped the bed in game 2 in the 4th

He had a bad shooting game (not 4 straight games but a GAME) but WestBrick didn't score a SINGLE basket against him. If Fatty Mills didn't air ball a WIDE OPEN 3, the Spurs would have won the game.

LVP: Patty Mills (SAS): -28.8%

Leonard crapped the bed in game 4 in the 4th

Spurs had no chance of winning that game considering that Durant went nuclear & outscored the ENTIRE Spurs team by himself. Kawhi could have gone 5-5 & it wouldn't have mattered.

Leonard and Aldridge crapped the bed in game 5 in the 4th.

Kawhi was 2/3 but he crapped the bed b/c OKC wouldn't even let him catch the ball.

Porker: 1-5 including 1-2 from the FT line (LVP: Tony Parker (SAS): -26.0%)'

Gm 6 was on Pop & his idiotic rotation:

The Spurs were up 19-17 then Kyle checked in for Kawhi & OKC went on a 10-0 run from which the Spurs NEVER recovered. Kawhi started jacking up shots trying to shoot them back into the game b/c nobody else could make a shot. He tried to lead a charge in the 3rd quarter but the Spurs couldn't stop OKC b/c even Roberson was knocking down 3s.
