    People that keep thinking the TEAM is gonna win us games obviously didn't see these past 2 years when the role players flopped.

    We are gonna be in the same situation and then what... You think he is gonna miraculously have those skills or better yet, the team needs to learn to give him the rock too.

    I remember this exact same ing thing like 2 years ago. I said the players can't entry pass it to Kawhi and the Bigs weren't giving him space in the low post. I swear to ing GOD. jeez.

    The team also needs to adjust. This is a learning process for the whole team. Not just Kawhi.

    Cheers man, but I'm not remotely a Top 5 poster. A lot of people on here understand the game better than I do, and many know things like the cap and contracts a thousand times better than I ever will take the time to know. But thanks for the compliment bro.I think Kawhi should be plenty aggressive, but I'm very much of the "open man should take the shot" mindset. I'd like to see more ball movement and less iso play. With good ball movement I would be very surprised if Kawhi is the "open man" 3 out of 4 times in a close game as you suggest in the thread le. In fact (and you probably will disagree) in a perfect world I'd like to see more of an offense by committee so Kawhi can save more energy for defense, where is unequivocally the best perimeter defender on the planet. But as Kawhi is developing quickly, that may not be politically realistic on the team. We may have to accept that it is a Kawhi-LMA iso heavy team. And Pau is well known, despite good passing skills, for pouting if he doesn't get shots. So, with those egos, 6 out of 8 in games that matter is probably asking for too much for any one person, even as good as Leonard is.

    I disagree Bill. Top 5 poster.

    I also disagree on the by committee.

    Let me explain why. The Spurs moved to a Kawhi and LMA iso heavy offense in the playoffs because the TEAM stopped scoring at an acceptable level. And an acceptable level is really dam bad shooting too.

    This is exactly why the Spurs should nourish Kawhi's ability to close out late games. We need that extra option. We have never had that option. I'm not saying that for the playoffs we just dump it off to Kawhi. I want this team to click and everyone to score and work the offense as a team. It's just there will be times or many games in a series where the team will suck and you need that option(KAwhi) to know what he is doing. We need to give Kawhi reps BEFORE the playoffs.

    The team as a whole also needs the reps.

    I understand what you're saying. And I'm all for giving Kawhi more leadership on the team and a lot of that will come with him winning games for the Spurs in the last minute. That said, I'd still prefer the "open man" principle. And 6 out of 8, that ratio, would be a grave misuse of the talent on the team around Kawhi. I'm not a stat guy, but I'd be surprised if Kobe on his worst days was chucking it up 3 of 4 times at the end of the game. No, the only one that should get the ball 6 of 8 at the end of games is Bertans, you know, because of Riga Time!

    Agreed. Want to see what Bertans and Dedmon can really do. And Murray down the line.

    Basically, as I understand the OP is saying that Kawhi needs to practice being CLUTCH, OFFENSIVELY

    Alphas don't need to be "nourished" for anything.. they put teams on their backs & MAKE things happen.

    Yeah because defenses aren't going to figure that out.

    This is so Kawhi learns to score on a defense that knows he IS gonna take the last shot. What didn't you understand? This is so WE have the option to drop the ball to him in the PLAYOFFS. God you're dumb. srs.

    Kiwi isn't clutch.
    I wonder if Astray is TYG and jehawk81...It's so rare that they post the same things all the time...And they're wrong all the time.



    But sure...Kawhi isn't clutch.

    I'm getting tired of these kind of threads about "Kawhi needs this" "Better he..."

    I just hope he can repeat the amazing season he had last year.

    He wasn't the reason why the Spurs lost in the playoffs. LMA, either. If Pau finds chemistry with the guys and our bench can make shots & rebounding, we'll be fine.
