he shot 59% . I don't care if he took 70 shots. The next time u mention those 22 shots,don't forget to mention he shot 59%. Thanks in advance
Agree with this. He shot 59% and played great defense against KD.

so you think kawai should just clear out on the permiter and let parker either turn the ball over or miss shots? that would have been a better strategy last night?I'm glad Kawhi sees this. I hope Pop sees this too and instructs the young man into a better strategy
i have an idea. A certain player should be with the 2nd squad or waived. Easy fix
Kawhi is not as dumb as he looks.
For your mental health forget about 2014 Spurs. 2014 Spursball is gone. It was gone as soon we signed LMA and gave Kawhi top dog status. Most likely you'll see the bench running it while LMA and Kawhi are resting. With the starters you'll see a lot more of a hybrid between post ups and motion. C'mon dude, you should know that by this date. Stop whining like a little boy.
I have no problem with the 22 shots. Hater is overblowing that. 59% is awesome. I do agree that 0 assists is a fail. By the time he established himself and was demanding attention there should have been some opportunities for his teammates to get a few easy buckets. I think it is a fail that fixes itself though. I don't think 32 points and 0 assists from Kawhi happens again.
I thought it was a very good game.
number of FGAs is not an issue per say, quality of these FGAs is... kobe is known to take bad shots after shots... dat was not the case of Kawhi last night
try just once to have a bb take without mentioning Parker... not sure you are capable of, take it as a challenge
I knew this, like most others, would be a schtick thread. Still, the system is going to change because the personnel have changed.
Agreed, it seems he is getting used to his new team mates and did not want to force anything right now which is positive imo... but as you said you need a more aggressive LMA. I'm not sure about the sidekick concept but these two should lead Spurs in scoring and fgas by a good margin
0 assists... spectrum mfer didn't pass the ball
This is dumb. Why does everyone always look at offense? Offense was not a huge problem. This game was lost on the defensive end.
Also why discredit a guy that gave 100% on both offense AND defense? 22 shots from a player is not a big deal when the player isn't taking plays off on the defensive end.
Also i'm tired of people talking about 0 assist. I don't care what anyone says but assists can be overrated. Do you forget that an assist takes two people to finish the play? Doesn't mean a player didn't pass the ball, it means that the player he passed it to missed the shot (or made the extra pass).
Assists is has and will always be.the Spurs bread and butter.
Our offense was totally lost. Our D was actually pretty good in the 2nd half.
I think the misplaced idea is that the "Spurs system" this season will continue to be what it was the last couple of years. Now we apparently have a guy or two that you can give the ball to and ask them to score, much like when the Spurs used to run "4-down" a lot in the prime Timmy years. Back then it was also the "Spurs system", but it looked a lot different, including a ton of touches for specific players.
Fans are just going to have to adjust to the new team realities, tbh...
Also, there's no reason to complain about the offense with a brand new team that dropped 106 points on the road against a top 5 team in the league
A loss is still a loss.
I'm pretty sure if Kawhi trades 5 of his shots with assists we win.
Summed up perfectly.silly thread
the number of FGA is never an issue in any system... what matters is the quality of the attempts. Kawhi took mostly good shots all night long, he chose wisely his iso actions, made KD work which is key... nothing to complain about Kawhi overall shot selection...
cherry on the cake he dialed 59% of them... it's all good
He was aggressive all night long. He mixed it up too. And best of all is that his defense never suffered because of the offensive display.
Truth is we lost because Parker took Leonards 23rd and 24th shot
LOL ppl thinking Pop is going to throw away his system because we landed Lamarcus
Pretty sure we don't
Aldridge played like a quivering pink vagina on offense. Single coverage all night, refused to back his man into the deep post and just shot horribly poor-percentage long fadeaways or passed it back out. We didn't bring him here to be Jackie Butler.
Great observation OP. What happened to the posters who claimed this dude was an elite passer? Did their internet go out?
Kawhobe Bryonard avi incoming
Agree 100%, we're now in the "First Round Fodder Heroball with A Guest Appearance From The Ghost of TD" era.
I'm hoping a month into the season that both LMA & Kawhi are averaging about 17 shots per game...
