U can't be serious... LMA choked harder than anyone else in that series... The guy had two great games then proceeded to the bed the rest of the way
The Spurs were one of the top assist teams in the league in 2017...one of the best defensive teams... And one of the best regular seasons in our franchise history... If that's not chemistry, what is? We are significantly worse this season, but LMA is happy with his touches... So that's chemistry? LMA not pouting? But it seems to be at the expense of other stars... Looks to me like LMA is the problem... If he isn't the main guy, the team is because he lacks toughness and motivation to play
He wasn't healthy last year. And you are an idiot.
His injury was as legit as someone faking whiplash after a car accident. Only a re ed person like you and the other fanboys in here can't see the injury was not legit.
Spurs were an elite defensive team that year after Duncan retired. And that was only because LA was a Gobert level type rim protector. Yet you want to claim that he doesn't defend when he doesn't get enough touches
Butthurt
So we were great defensively BECAUSE of LMA and not Kawhi... Hmmm... Seems legit... Lmfao!
Here, I did some research for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq0M-lm7RBo
Phil Handy, clearly states, that Kawhi did not have his explosiveness just yet and that was the summer after the season ended.
Also, if he was fully healthy last year, then why Toronto rest him after back to backs? Because he still isn't at 100%! That injury has been lingering since college.
And, I am done arguing with you.
The crazy thing about that OKC series is that we lost game 2 even with Aldridge having another insanely efficient night. Could be wrong but thinking now in retrospect I thought Kawhi was more at fault for that series loss because he had decent games but Aldridge's two performances to start the series should have been enough for a 2-0 lead even against that kryptonite OKC squad but Roberson made Leonard feel like a decent player and not the 2 way punch that the Spurs really needed.
Just crazy, in 2015 and 2016 we should or could have beaten both those teams but especially in 2015 it's like of course the one team we match up probably the worst with in the league had to be the first team in the way to getting that back to back. Chris Paul with his ty quad coming in and killing parker and mills off one leg or not just to not play in the next round and only Duncan and Belinelli not playing like scared little runts, in I really hated that series.
We lost the thunder series because LMA had some severely bad games in that series... Including one where he shot 22%... Kawhi wasn't a superstar expected to carry the team until 2017...LMA was in his prime... On top of that, our lack of rebounding really did us in... The thunder were grabbing an insane amount of rebounds over LMA and David West... Thunder grabbed 12 offensive rebounds per game that series... That broke our backs
you in re missed the entire point. And yes we were an elite defense as well when your lover Kawhi took the year off and was hiding in NY. Watch the games where LA was injured and the team couldn't get a stop
don't forget about Matt Barnes locking up Kawhi
Yeah yeah Kawhi sucks right?
Spurs are a contender without him. Right?
Of course KL didn't make his teammates better. He wasn't a leader and still isn't. He's trying to be a dominant player, but he's maybe not given much consideration to being on a dominant team. It's the new META though, so get used to it. I expect to see RW go off for 50 very soon since he's seeing others do it. Of course the team will lose but that doesn't matter to him.
I didn't say any of this. Learn how to read
On a 6th place team too
Kawhi had a lot of chemistry on/off court with Danny/Jonathon Simmons/Dedmon/Cory/Brandon Paul/Kyle...It's sad you missed Spurs games in those two seasons, otherwise you shouldn't ask this.
Some guys wanted to have DeRozan and LMA leading the Spurs and ...their dreams come true!! Good for them!
Even that ugly Lonzo Ball kid said yesterday he wants to be a leader like Kawhi leading by example while people on ST "but but LMA and DeRozan better leaders than Kawhi"
With a healthy Kawhi as its best player, this team won 67 and 61 games in two consecutive seasons...With DD/LMA "as leaders" this team is fighting for a playoffs' spot.

A Beta (LMA) and a Gamma (Leonard) looking for Alpha leadership will contribute to low team chemistry.
OTOH an Omega like Tim Duncan can also lead the ship.
tony was in the way of them establishing a two man game. kept saying the ball belonged in kawhi’s hands instead of tony’s and people here thought kawhi wouldn’t be able to handle the rock
You cannot be this daft in real life? You cannot seriously compare the situations Kawhi was a part of in those two seasons with this season. Or last season.
The outta here.
