I didn't see that mentioned anywhere in the OP. i did see OP mention Leonard's individual accolade expectations though.
I care more about a championship than the MVP trophy, tbh.

He played the same amount last year and came in 2nd in MVP voting. And probably would have won it, had not Curry and the Warriors won 73 games. He'll be fine.
Fair enough.
Exactly.
Why Kawhi has to learn how to deal -physically and mentally- with fatigue in playoffs games when he could have the whole regular season to do it?
OP,
If Kawhi cared so much about individual accolades, he would give SOME indication be it pouting, ing, moaning, or whining.
The fact is though, he does none of this because hes not a pouty, moaning, whiny little like you.

I agree with the point that Kawhi needs to get his body adjusted to playing 40mpg. His jumper needs to be falling in the 48th minute of the game in the playoffs, and that's something that takes time to have happen. In games where the Spurs are trailing or have less than say, a 15 pt lead, Kawhi needs to be playing significant minutes. But in nights like tonight and the warriors game where it's a 20+ pt blowout, sit his ass down. I want to see this man play 82 games for once.
They flew in at 4:30am after the Kings, and have a game in Miami tomorrow.
Calm down, big fella
Spurs play again tonight and people in about Pop sitting the starters in the 4th in a BLOWOUT WIN. He didn't do it against GS if you notice when the Spurs WEREN'T playing the next night. It's great for the Spurs young guys to get some reps in games like these.
Kawhi had 16 points in the 3rd. I didn't once see Pop telling Kawhi not to shoot.
Kawhi averaged 3 minutes less per game last year than Curry, 39 to 36. When the Spurs need Leonard to play big minutes, if he hasn't gotten into foul trouble, he'll play big minutes.
This is not one of the more intelligent threads.
in Durant--3 years older with a foot scare-- is averaging 38 MPG over two games in a more talented team..How do you expect Kawhi to keep up with dudes who are used to play 42-45 minutes in crucial playoffs games?
Talked about this in the game thread..
Patty had more shots than him at halftime. That wouldn't happen with MVParker out there tbh, at least with him Kawhi gets to have the ball more while TP stands in the corner ready to shoot if needed
However, we all know that aint going down
The head of the snake is a team first player
I meant tony waiting on the corner for the three....The head of the snake is a team first player
got OP playerfan will be the first to when Kawhi gets injured in meaningless garbagetime minutes
Personal accolades don't mean , and it's a stupid argument. Robinson didn't stat-pad until Luke became the coach, and Robinson was so worn out from winning the scoring le that he wasn't himself in the playoffs. Kawhi doesn't need more minutes to win MVP, he needs more free throw attempts to win it. He's well on his way this season.
The good point made is about having the wind to play more minutes during the postseason. Kawhi needs to be physically able to average 43 minutes a game in the playoffs and not be worn out. That's a completely valid concern, but I think I'm okay with him not getting his minutes in games where the Spurs are up by 25 points, especially in October. Remember that in any other season this time of the year would still be preseason.
I don't know if we've even gotten far enough into the season to tell what Pop's sub patterns are. The starting lineup has been so rotten that it's probably too early to tell what the plans are for Kawhi. This is something to keep in mind, but I don't think there's any way to tell what's going on until the end of November at the very least.
3 games into the RS and you guys want this guy burnt out on minutes already.
Kawhi is clearly option #1 when he's on the court. They force feed him the ball consistently in the half court and he even brings the ball up to initiate the offense at times. He's been the high scorer in every game. I don't understand the take, unless it's trolling.
I personally believe we should run the offense through Parker. We'd be undefeated if that happened
