Leonard carried the offense in the 4th and LMA played great also.... all hes saying lol
Huh? Leonard missed the GW shot and was bailed out by Aldridge's offensive rebound and putback. I don't get this bump from a KL fanboy perspective.Career high 16pt in the 4th quarter
Wing-man Softridge

He missed the shot but it was a "Kirby assist" as he drew multiple defenders which allowed LMA to get the board. In any case, Kawhi took over in the 4th quarter after Dedmon led the comeback while Patty was firing bricks trying to give away the game.
When KD scored 17 points in the 4th quarter against us..."he's the best offensive player in the world" "what a player"
Kawhi scored 16 points in the 4th quarter against a team that already beat the Cavs/LeBron and almost the Warriors this season..."nah, Kawhi missed a shot"
Never seen a worst fan base...smh. Kawhi has become an absolute 4th quarter monster but "nah..."
hilarious because true... one of those where Shaq/Gasol would have put back for a bucket, foul or and-1. And kobe would get the credit even though he missed the biggest shot of the game.
Exactly why this thread was just dumb.
Just like every player who plays in the last 2 minutes, his two misses were just regression to the mean of his average - per par.
Kiss of death
Yeah, this was a 100% Kawhi
Even then he made a clutch 3 after struggling all game long & had a potential game winner rim out after doing the toilet bowl.
More like 90%-10%Yeah, this was a 100% Kawhi.
Yes it wasYeah, this was a 100% Kawhi.
Big Players make Big Shots in Big Games
Nobody asked you about 1-5 Choke Porker.
I agree, this game wasn't big enough.
You mean 10/18 Parker?
Where did you get 1/5 from? Is that Kawhobe's FGM/FGA in the 4th and OT?
He had two great looks. Just didn't fall. I'm impressed that he could get himself such good looks. That said, no need to diss him or other Spurs because they lost a road game in the regular season.
Yup. These ain't the mighty Wizards and Magic (sub .500 teamsI agree, this game wasn't big enough.
The sequence at the end of the 4th where Porker turned into Enirique while ignoring LMA:
2:11
LaMarcus Aldridge makes 5-foot two point shot 98 - 93 1:50 Dennis Schroder makes driving layup 98 - 95 1:27 Tony Parker misses driving layup 98 - 95 1:24 Tony Parker offensive rebound 98 - 95 1:07 LaMarcus Aldridge steps out of bounds turnover 98 - 95 1:07 Official timeout 98 - 95 1:07 Manu Ginobili enters the game for Jonathon Simmons 98 - 95 0:49 Paul Millsap makes driving layup (Dennis Schroder assists) 98 - 97 0:26 Tony Parker misses 21-foot 98 - 97
Missed a layup (and grabbed the offensive rebound), and missed a BAILOUT mid range jumper.The sequence at the end of the 4th where Porker turned into Enirique while ignoring LMA:

You pulling numbers out of your ass bro?
Too bad he had to blowout the team w/ the best record in 3 quarters that he couldn't takeover in the 4th quarter.Yup. These ain't the mighty Wizards and Magic (sub .500 teams
He took a in' bail out jumper after eating up the shot clock trying to go 1-on-1 w/ Millsap when LMA had Schroder on him.
Until this game in Atlanta, he was top #6 scorer in the 4th quarter. If stats mean something he's great in the last minutes of the game.

Pretty amazing if we consider his all rusty game. But still got those looks. He has to build on that.
Volume has something to do with that since hes shooting 43% and 31% from 3 in 4th quarters this yr. If he was clutch ( or if clutch was such a thing) wouldnt those numbers be better?
Still a small sample but he should improve to around his avg in the long run. Players are who they are.

Where did I ever say Kawhi sucks or Kawhi is inefficient?
All I'm saying is there's no such thing as clutch by pointing out Kawhis two misses " in the clutch" tonight. And even further by pointing out he's shooting 43% from the field and 31% from 3 in 4th quarters this year.
The best players in the game miss and make at around their averages in 4th quarters in the long run, so I'm not getting on Kawhi. I'm expecting him to miss often in crucial times because it happens -- there's no such thing as clutch players who come through all the time lol or most of the time. They come through at around their averages in the long run. The only elite player who didn't come through in crucial situations as often as his career percentages was Kobe because he forced and took bad shots more than any elite player in the past 30 years.
Here's some criticism for you that will make you a better poster. Try actually reading what people post instead of being so damn defensive and sensitive about Kawhi -- chalking up anything Kawhi related that has any hint of criticism up to " Kawhi needs a better fan base".
What I said wasn't even a critique, and you're pulling out tweets that have nothing to do with the discussion. My posts in this thread is about the OP and others dumb obsessions about clutch players when there's no such thing. If there was such thing as clutch, numbers in the long run ( over large samples) would be substantially different for non clutch and clutch players -- but that's not the case.
