That has nothing to do with what I said though. You are literally seeing people in Twitter saying that Kawhi did what DeRozan never could; lead TOR to the ECF
Also, you are seeing articles written on basically the same sentiment. It was an amazing shot but Kawhi has not taken the franchise to some previously unattainable heights....yet.
Probably because that was the year Biyombo carried them and they played an average Pacers team and the post-Lebron era Heat without Bosh.
If you think Philly is overrated, this Philly team would have easily beat those 2 teams. The top 4 of the East this year was actually pretty good compared to the past few years. Just compare it to last year, Celtics without Kyrie and Hayward were in the ECF and took Lebron to game 7. This year with Kyrie and Hayward they're an easy out for the Bucks. Philly didn't have Butler or Harris last year, Bucks now have coach Bud, Raptors add Kawhi.
I know you know this but carry on.
Timvp: "Derozan's a top 15 player in the NBA"
Proceeds to have the worst On-Off for the Spurs in the playoffs and shoots 1-10 in the first half of game 7. Kawhi's final game 7 moment is a game winner and Derozan's final game 7 moment is getting blocked

look at the arc on that ing shot.
He's using ass-backwards logic. Philly pushed Toronto to the last shot of Game 7... therefore Philly must be really good.
But he's also arguing that the Celtics were better than any team in the West other than GSW. Maybe it's to explain how good the Bucks are, when they curb-stomp Kawhi's Raptors? I mean, if Milwaukee beat the crap out of the Celtics, they must be really, really good, right? But saying that Mil, Tor, Phi, and Bos are the 2,3,4,5 best teams in the league is just delusional.
There is no chance... zero chance... that this Milwaukee team with Giannis could have gotten past LeBron's Heat in '14. And there is even less chance that Kawhi's Raptors could have gotten past them - less than zero chance, even though Kawhi is at a totally different level than he was in '14. Comparing Giannis to a prime LeBron is just foolishness. You're gonna say that's not what you were doing, but it's what you were doing. If Kawhi gets past Giannis. IF Kawhi gets past Giannis, it still doesn't compare to getting past LeBron of just a few years ago.
Ummm… I was talking about Toronto, not really Portland. Normally a team won't win Game 7 on the road with their best player shooting 41% like Kawhi did tonight. I just pointed out that Portland won with their best player shooting 17% - and, yeah, it says more about the opponent than anything else.
When the Spurs used to meet LA in the playoffs, we knew Kobe was going to get his points. The key was making sure he took and missed a lot of shots to get them - holding him to a ty shooting percentage. Kawhi scored a lot of points last night. But it doesn't really matter who is taking shots, as long as they're shooting 41%. , let him take all the shots at 41%. If you can't beat that, you deserve to lose.
Kawhi shot 41%, and he was better than any of the rest of the Raptors' starters. They didn't win so much as Philly just deserved to lose.
Kawhi beat by himself a team with 3 and a half all Stars, bigger upset than LeBron and Kyrie beating the warriors in the finals...
kawhi carrying vf and lin
compared to his days carrying wombat and forbes...
all 4 pos have one in thing in common, pad empty stats in scrub minutes
lol no
Warriors were a historic 73 win team and Lebron came back from being down 3-1 to beat them. He brought Cleveland their first le. It rattled the Warriors so bad they had to beg the 2nd best player in the league to join them. This was an impressive as series from Kawhi but it's ridiculous to compare it to what Lebron did in 2016. He led all players from both teams in ppg/rpg/apg/spg/bpg in the finals.
Kawhi win series by himself carry scrubs and over the hill players, against much more talented team with 3 and a half all Stars, this is unbelievable accomplish, at least LeBron against 2016 warriors level...
Kawhi is on another whole level. That should be the Spurs going to the wcf...im still rooting for him to lose but a tiny part of me is happy for him. Hopefuly the Bucks take care of business! And if Kawhi wasnt 100% at fault for leaving, maybe this summer the Spurs get a meeting with him ha ha yep im hanging on to that 1 in a 100 hope
Calls someone a casual after admitting to not caring about other teams. Some people can just appreciate good basketball big moments no matter who it’s from

Pop and FO ruin the team, since 2014 they just been so full of themselves, lazy, soft, didn't care much about winning, they ones who run kawhi out of town!
interesting how some of the kawhi haters in here have this set of rule for certain player but doesnt apply to kawhi
so the haters are saying ddr had to to face wade or pg teams in the playoffs, yet ddr has never beaten the miami cheat team went to 6 straight finals...while kawhi has beaten one of them miami cheat teams in the finals
C.CARTER the pos is still running his mouth about the spurs....
start at the 6min mark, fck this pos
Excuse me? You think whomever is on ORL (their best player) and PHI (their best player) are better than Wade and PG? That’s laughable.
That was an inefficient Kobe performance by Kawhi for a game 7 . With the brickk to win the game. Haha
He just keeps Winning.
The media in general has never liked the Spurs, but the Spurs simply had to accept to him being soft and being a diva. Spurs don't do that. Pop don't play that.. So whatever..
Aldridge says hi.
Oh please. He has played his ass off. Spurs fans are so spoiled.. When did LA fake an injury and lay down?Aldridge says hi.
Can someone make an optimistic thread? This is so depressing lol
Yep. A bunch of ing morons around here. It's embarrassing to read the takes on basketball IQ, and Spurs personnel takes in here over the past 24 hours.
