I love Kawhi, but I'd like to see some more consistency from him... the reality is the Clips have no actual compe ive wings... it's a matchup that Pop exploited well, but doesn't necessarily work as well against every team.
I agree. Clippers defense is a a pair of wild west swinging doors at the wings.
That said, what Kawhi is remarkably consistent at is rebounding, defense, steals, and just causing general havoc all around. Even if his shot/offense is off, we can always count on production from him in that regard.
Yeah, kid is legit... we just need some extra offense now that we're missing a couple guys.
ball FTL, tbh.
I always thought Parker was the better player even back when CP3 was considered a god. Parker always had more burst and creativity. CP3 is forever a loser after what happened in this year's playoffs.
Clips need Samuel Dalembert, tbh
Choke Paul

Choke paul relying on twirling like a ballerina and the whistle
I don't think the riff-raff that frequents the NBA forum will be able to understand the literary allusion to Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.
While I was reading this post, I couldn't help but think how big the disparity in size is between NBA players and the general populace, considering that a 6 ft. man is being ridiculed for his minuscule size.It's pretty petty that a Spurs fan would prefer to bash the befallen rather than experience the greatness that is Leonard.
Paul's problem is that he is 6' tall. He may be the greatest 6' player in NBA history but guys that size do not transcend basketball. Two PG have been able to dominate games against all comers and Magic and Oscar were over 6'5". Paul can do a lot of things but he is often the smallest guy on the court. It's a severe limitation. Look at how Kawhi was able to space him and still get at his dribble:
Pop featured Leonard on both ends of the court giving him the ball on the baseline repeatedly and putting him on Paul. We all know about Leonard's dimensions, but the size and length with that level of quickness to turn Paul over and demand double teams on the road tends towards transcendence. He ended up double double with three assists out of those sets and an equal number of hockey assists off cuts from Manu and Boris after some adjustments at the half. He hit his free throws and the Spurs running things through Leonard beat the Clippers in the second half and won the game.
The gameplan we used to beat the Heat still works and
Rivers came in with a pretty good game plan but Pop's adjustments won out after we started exploiting their rotations. I was interested to see Messina was doing most of the talking during the timeouts down the stretch. Imagine the game had we not missed threes unlike anything we have seen in a long long time.
Choke is turning into the new Baron Davis or Andre Miller, tbh... a bag point guard mailing it in for the check. Maybe after this era fails miserably, this franchise will finally learn that building around point guards won't work - especially when they're headcases and divas.
im pretty sure we all read that book in seventh grade dude, its not really that obscure of a reference.
That novel was a masterful commentary on the state of race relations in 19th century America. If everyone has read that book, as you say, how do you explain the rampant racism that permeates the NBA Forum, including this thread?
I seriously doubt that the uneducated, uninformed people that litter this forum would have read that book, much less grasped its central precepts.
ill show you something to grasp.
Urinel with the lib semen-shielding, per par.
To further illustrate your take, here's a visual:
No need to thank me son. I got you covered.
greatest midget to ever play the game? i take iverson over this ballerina wanker
Zeke Thomas.
It's not like Parker ever got dominated by all time defensive legend Sefolosha in any important games.
UTC was a staple of 9th or 10th grade honors and AP English when I went to HS (in Cali). It was not part of the standard curriculum ...cannot speak for whole country. But even without that in their education being a Uncle Tom is part of urban culture even if people who deride folks as Uncle Toms may not understand it on a deeper level.
The Clippers seem to be a team that gets a pass when they can't show up for a big game. How many times
has Chris ,Blake and even Doc never get piled on by the media when they fail big. Why do they get the pass?
A fair point. Chris is a advanced stat poster boy. Blake a marketing succes and an exciting improving star. Doc won everyone with ubuntu in 2008.
