5-13 shooting, 2-8 on free throws, mediocre for someone who is supposedly the future face of the franchise
Yeah because good defense, great rebounding, beating guys off pnr sets for dunks, finding ope 3 point shooters off em too, and hitting threes are all in a mediocre players skillset......

Ditto, preseason helps spot the mediocre posters much easier, it's hilarious.
So 'mediocre lately' = a poor shooting night. In which he also showed great playmaking, an ability to handle the ball and outstanding rebounding.
So 4 assist is outstanding?
"Hopefully he will play like an all-star next season, so he will be able to bail me out in the Finals"
I did not know Kawhi has good drive and good pass .
He will be ALLSTAR.
For a non primary ball handler? Yes.
The Big Four in the Drive for Five.
stick the unicorn and stuff in the club tbh
Overall I thought Kawhi played well last night. The missed free throws are something that is correctable. Every time Kawhi rebounded on the defensive he pushed the ball extremely well and he finished at the rim a couple of times. He executed the pick-n-roll pretty decent too. Kawhi's progress from when he was a rookie 2 years ago has been remarkable. Even more surprising last night was the fact that he was reacting when didn't get foul calls. Good to see.
robdiaz obviously didn't watch the game, so thanks for calling him out on that. Kawhi looked great in his limited minutes - the offenses were stagnant both ways, but he got to the hoop, was dishing the ball out to shooters, drawing fouls, getting every rebound in his reach, etc. all as the #1 option on the floor with the opposition fielding their full roster. I really liked what I saw out of him.
The shots will fall - just has to cut out some of the mid-rangers he was taking, though I think some of that can be attributed to what was surrounding him on the floor.
In 21 minutes, as a SF, yes. That's about 6 in a full game. Which would place him in elite status for assists at the SF position.
Tiago also had 4. Elite center
My main reason for giving a about preseason is to watch him, can't wait for the season to see him with more freedom and trust.
Is it me or does he seem more vocal out there? I noticed some patented Kobe "heyyyyyyy" when driving to the basket, trying to draw a foul. Not a bad move tbh.
Even his personality seems a bit more confident and relaxed, which isn't shocking because he showed some of this in his college days.
I also get the sense him and Kenneth Faried don't care for each other, something i noticed in the game and in the Rising Stars game. I could be wrong, just a hunch.
Watch the game in full blast volume and you will hear kawhi scream foul at every free throw he got. srs. Didn't notice it but kawhi really shouldn't bother with faried tbh, that got supporter has reached it's potential
Kinda surprsing, but I guess he's settled with the team now and is just trying to be the guy he has always been in college.
Parker's pre-season predictions have been completely the last 5 or so years.
he needs to shut the up
Tony also promised to love Eva till death do them part...
But in all seriousness, I can easily see Kawhi hit the all-star level, as long as he gets the touches (and I think that he will).
Eva promised the same with her real husband. What goes around comes around, tbf.
I am with Hater. TP better shut it or he ill jinx Leonard.
jinx
Lots of irony on this post right here, tbh...
i miss your guys e-scraps. incredibly entertaining, its like a Bolivia vs Mexico middleweight bout, I don't root for anyone but a memorable battle.
nothing going on now... probably once the season gets underway we'll have a comeback or two...
