layoff, hes 21 and was thrown into a big spot. Most sophmores dont have big roles in a game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Kawhi is a good rebounder for his size and frame.
No emotions to show though.
Those missed free throws were taken like a regular season game. That could have won the game.
Need to learn from the likes of Pippen and Kobe, else this kid will be a wasted talent.

its his first finals and he's 21
yeah, no need to learn from that other emotionless scrub, Tim Duncan.
he clearly beats lebron on "the youngest to reach the finals" department.
He has had a great series. I don't blame him for the loss.
Kawhi is one of the main reasons the Spurs are still playing basketball this season, tbh. Cut the kid some slack.
Yeah lets blame the 21 year old kid that makes 1 mil this year and protect the 35 year old veteran making 14 mil.
Leonard deserves none of the blame. he was great.
Tbh, the good thing is I don't think that loss will be in Leonards head in game 7.
WTF?
I think you're confusing emotions with his compe ive spirit. Guys who hate to lose rarely show emotions, and only show emotion when they win.
Yeah, let's blame the kid that gave us a chance to win it. Yes he missed a free throw but so what? They had a 3 pt lead to protect and and they let it slip away
Kawhi is amazing... thee end.
Here's a hint: guys who shoot free throws differently at huge moments than they do during more normal situations? Those guys are much more likely to miss. You want guys to go out there, follow their usual routine, and shoot like they're playing Minnesota in January.
It didn't go in. It happens sometimes.
Ok, this is just stupid.
Kawhi has been the most consistently good Spurs player throughout this run.
AND HE'S ONLY 21!!!!
Bird barely showed any emotion
And he was one of the most compe ive mofos ever
Kawhi is our future. He's been unbelievable. He gets a pass.
Actually, keeping emotions under control is more important, and more difficult.
A Spurs player who let disappointment show would have probably invited merciless taunting by Heat fans, and maybe played even more poorly in OT.
This is beyond dumb, game would've been long over if Kawhi didn't play at all. I like the way he rolls, he's an athlete with integrity, don't see that tin the NBA much anymore. Besides, Kawhi did what he could, if Diaw wasn't a re and knocked the ball out of Kawhi's hands after LeBron's missed three with 23 seconds left, we win the game.
leonard missed a clutch free throw. manu missed a clutch free throw. difference is leonard played a spectacular f'n game
This is honestly by far the worst take of the playoffs on Spurstalk. The crippling flaws of this statement are so obvious that I don't even need to point it out.
Congratulations on the terrible take.
Stupid thread for two reasons:
1. Why do we want players who express their emotion? I don't know why you bring up MJ because he was the ultimate assassin who never expressed any emotion except contempt for those he beat. I'm happy that Kawhi is so emotionally balanced that he takes something like this in his stride.
2. We're not even in that game without Kawhi - he was absolutely superb.
I am a SDSU season ticket holder and alum. Kawhi has never been a great FT shooter, although he strangely is usually better in the clutch.
The pressure in that situation was immense and frankly I was glad he at least made 1. I thought it was a bad move by Pop for him to be the one who ended up with the ball, you want those taken by Parker or Green I would think.
