LMA and Kiwi had low chemistry

[YGWHI]

You cannot seriously compare the situations Kawhi was a part of in those two seasons with this season. Or last season.

Who knows. There were many Spurs' players being abysmal in 2017...Parker was MIA all regular season until playoffs. It was one of the worst Manu's regular seasons.
While this 2019 Spurs team has flaws there are role players stepping up. Rudy Derrick Davis...We missed those type of players/high-level production in 2017.

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.

the are you going on about? not a single poster on this board would rather have DD/LA instead of Kawhi. but he requested a trade, and hes gone. let go already

the 2016 team was the most stacked Spurs team ever and went 7-3 without Kawhi. That team could win games while still resting their entire starting line up. They steamrolled through the regular season while resting players every month.
I also never said LA is the leader, I said he's an elite rim protector. Learn how to read. The guy took over Duncan's role and is the last line of defense, telling players where to position themselves on D. Our defense staying elite has a lot to do with Aldridge and nobody can deny that.
Being the best player on a team doesn't mean being the leader. Ask Shaq who was the leader on those Laker teams and he'll tell you Derek Fisher. Lowry is the leader of the Raptors while Kawhi is obviously their best player.

Another re ed take. That team was 7-1 without Kawhi in the regular season. Parker was the 4th leading scorer and averaged 10.1 PPG and 4.5 Assists. They closed out the Rockets in the 4th and OT without him and Tony Parker and then went to Houston and stole game 6 to finish the series. Parker played his best Playoffs since 2014 before he went down with a real injury. In Game 5 Danny Green and Manu Ginobili came up with clutch plays and that was the season where Jonathon Simmons stepped up and David Lee was very good that entire season. Pau was also still a starting caliber player and the 3rd leading scorer while Mills had one of his better seasons. Talk about having no help lol

None of those teams had worse role players than this one

It's pretty much acknowledged by the world that game 6 had more to do with harden choking than any particular thing the Spurs did

yeah Harden is the only player on that roster who plays for the Rockets right? Kinda like Kawhi, but he didn't play at all. in idiot
