We're talking about gravity though. I can break down all the games where kawhi draws a double or triple on almost every drive or pnr. This team doesn't have 2 play makers. It has one. You can't blame kawhi for lack of packaging either when he already delivers more than anyone. I don't know why people dog him on his play making when he needs to score for the team to do well. The role players are just gonna miss shots in the playoffs.Not going to read the entire thread(), but I don't think the aesthetics of the offense are a knock on Kawhi as an individual..
Just based on position, it would be very difficult to build the same type of offense around Kawhi..he has improved dramatically as a ball-handler and playmaker, but he's never going to have the same effect as a guard, in that regard, it just isn't natural..
In terms of playmaking, I think his ceiling will probably be Paul Pierce, who had a similar career arc, in that regard..even Pierce needed other offensive anchors(KG) and capable playmakers(Allen) to run a high-level offense, though..
Unfortunately, the Spurs' demise will be their lack of reliable guard options IMO..
Instead we need to ask mental midget icy hot to stop missing his wide open shots in the playoffs. It be great if he could produce on all the games in the playoffs instead of showing up for one or two.
And lol at people actually thinking fathead was the xfactor iso scorer in a Spurs warriors 7 game series.
Dude you must be exhausted. Right or wrong, you're trying to conduct a basketball discussion while a couple of posters act defensively about Kawhi.
I've never seen this beta before.
Eh, work's slow, and 100%'s a good dude. There are also a lot of posts that are on ignore, so I don't even know what they say.
Well that sounds better. This friggin board does help those days
Let me guess, they're a knock on Aldridge (who arrived a season after the aesthetics started to decline)?Not going to read the entire thread(

What about Bird, Pippen, Hill, McGrady, James, Antetokounmpo?
Hopefully some picked up more on this after watching tonight.
Kawhi was a mess.
Pop definitely can't expect a great offense built around him. It almost has to be built separately and just have Kawhi segments like episodes of I Am Weasel in the Cow and Chicken series. It's not that Kawhi can't play his game, but the offense can't just be him and LMA taking turns taking shots that would be bad if the average player were taking them and then having Pau come in and do something similar.
I bet ya gots weren't crying after the first game.
In this game? Sure.
But Kawhi was driving strong and drawing fouls most games.
He's averaging more FTAs than Parker in his best scoring season, that should be enough for any forward.
Anyway, I'd like to see more of these plays insted of Kawhi being forced to play an unnatural game for him.

Like I've said before, better pray that Kawhi can give us more of good games than bad.
Because the Spurs have ZERO options there. Who can score 'consistently' on this team not named Kawhi-LMA? Gasol? Maybe, maybe not.
Parker 0-6? Danny 1-4? Lee 0-4? Old Manu? We have just Patty, Simms on the bench and Kawhi/LMA in the starting lineup.
We can move the ball for open shots but if we'll rely on Manu/Parker to take the shots we won't win many games.
That was part of the issue in OKC series, the Spurs missed more open shots than contested...You know why it happened.
