Seriously, are you Kawhi's mom or something?

No one should get so bent out of shape by offhand troll comments about a player everyone actually likes on a message board.

Really? Chinook said exactly this: "Kawhi should just trot into the corner and wait"

Not a big deal. After all, I'm not saying that some guy posted just two months ago that Parker needed more touches because his touches are better than Kawhi's ...

Well, that's pretty re ed then.

What was context, though? In certain sets and at specific times, it's beneficial for Kawhi to do that (catching his breath, space out the floor for other players to get going, etc).

You are really bent out of shape by something someone posted two months ago.

Dude keeps trending down.

Just as bad as we need a Kevin Love type player for "spacing" reasons.

I'm not even talking about the consequences on defense.

I think ChumpDumb can help you about the context, he knows to find threads better than me. It was a thread where I asked for more Kawhi's post-up and Chinook was talking about Parker's offense is more important to this team, Kawhi centered offense won't be efficient cause he's Melo-lite, he should wait in the corner, can't remember more.

[dabom]

I remember Chinook said LMA was the more efficient scorer between LMA and KAwhi. And said LMA would be the leading scorer on the team.

Kawhi's mom overreacted in that thread. It happens a lot tbh.

Do you ever get tired of taking half-sentences to try to make other people look stupid?

Kawhi plays a lot with the second unit for a guy who starts. He's the last guy subbed out, or second-to-last if LMA has to stay in. But anyway, Parker's a Spur for three more years. You don't waste his last good years planning for him not being on the team. If Parker's getting into the paint consistently on the team, Kawhi should just trot to the corner and wait for the secondary action. The only initiator that's better than a clean Parker drive is a Diaw mismatch post-up.

That quote is from a thread where you were arguing that the Spurs needed to give Kawhi the ball even when Parker was having a throw-back game. It was just shameless player-fanning on your part. My point was that if you have a Parker in the middle of an Indian summer, you ride him, as those chances don't come along very often anymore. It's better for everyone -- including Kawhi -- if Parker is initiating the offense when he can penetrate efficiently. Because after spotting up, Kawhi will be able to attack much better in the secondary action than he would against a set defense.

You wear intellectual dishonesty quite well.

Seriously. His CoK worshiping is beyond that of even Apa. He acts like anyone who doesn't join him on his knees is kicking sand in poor little Kawhi's face on the playground. It's pathetic.

And the dude still doesn't get the reason why a penetration-oriented offense is better than a pull-up oriented offense, or that Kawhi did most of his damage after starting the possession spotting up.

Agree with this. Kawhi is deadly from the "Bowen spot" and can get any shot he wants from there, especially when the pass comes off Parker penetration that usually collapses the defense. I'm obviously not advocating that set all the time, but if the Spurs want to win a le, Parker is going to have to play a significant role as an offensive engine. Kawhi will be facing double, triple teams, and collapses in the playoffs, so Parker will be needed quite often to take some of the offensive burden off him.

Don't get? I'd say "don't agree"...I don't agree with you.

Kawhi didn't do most of his damage after starting the possession spotting up, we saw good plays with him as initiator, penetrating and dishing...That's why I said in that thread he needs the ball in his hands to improve in other areas of his offensive game.

I don't agree with your "Kawhi can become a dominant offensive player like Melo or Prime Kobe, but the rest of the team is going to struggle with awkward roles" His teammates roles didn't look awkward with Kawhi being dominant on offense in the last games...

To be clear, I don't agree with any of your takes on Kawhi's offensive game.
