kawhi Leonard will have a monster game today.

[apalisoc_9]

25+ 10+ 3+

Enough for the spurs to win the championship

[MeloHype]

Kawhi not

[hater]

I think he will either fold due to the missed FT or as you say, will have a monster game because he is pissed off.

No middle of the road. IMO

[slick'81]

Nah bro its manu time

[silverblackfan]

Betting on monster game. MONSTER game.

[johnnySpurs]

I just hope nobody tries to do too much....

Yeah, I'm talking to you Manu.

[lil'mo]

ehhh, he had his monster game on Tuesday and ginobili ed it up.

[ace3g]

I think it would be smart to go to him early, to keep him confidence up (not that you could tell if he was down on himself) and since he has young legs, bring some energy to the team.

[LarryDavid]

So a repeat of Tuesday for Kawhi? He had a great game.... 22-11-3 steals.

[MR-Clutch]

Only spur to score in overtime. I know he's gonna have a great game, maybe the best of his career.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Id say 12/15/3 steals

[m33p0]

i don't know about 25+ points but the rebounding and defense will be there.

[apalisoc_9]

Id say 12/15/3 steals

Most likely

[illusioNtEk]

isnt he just 21 years old? dont you guys think we are asking to much out of him hehe

[TrainOfThought5]

i don't know about 25+ points but the rebounding and defense will be there.

I dont think you understand.... Ginobili is failing us. Tony Parker has Lebron on him. Green has gone cold. if Kawhi doesnt put up big numbers we probably wont win. he has to get the keys to the franchise at some point. why not today?

[HI-FI]

i really hope Kawhi does have a monster game, he's been saving our butts all season. Whenever hits the fan he seems to steady the ship. I pray he's good to go and helps us big time.

[TE]

Just get those rebounds youngin. You've proven to be a beast in that regard. Leave it all out there.

[Chinook]

He'll be fine. He's going to just keep doing what he's been doing. The only thing that may change is that he'll go even harder for rebounds and shoot with more confidence. It's yet to be seen if that's a good thing.

The biggest issue is if the Big Three have enough in the tank to finish the series off. I expect the New Two to be there, and hopefully Neal gets hot again and Splitter has a Game 5--like performance.

[hooperflash]

Coach Pop will have a monster game, tbh.

I'm really really hoping for another Green-Neal game three performance. We need it.

it doesn't have to be ginobili, bruh. and 25+ points is asking a youngster to carry the team offensively (unless they're from putbacks or back cuts or end-of-sequence shots). that's too much.

[TXstbobcat]

I think Leonard will have a goog game but I predict that Tony Parker will go off for 40 points tonight and lead the spurs to a game 7 win. Tony Parker =. Finals MVP.

[Two10Whitey]

It would be great for Tony to go off.. but he needs to find his team too.

[Chinook]

I'm really really hoping for another Green-Neal game three performance. We need it.

I wouldn't put those two in the same category really. Green has been really good all series. Even when his shot's not going he's still made timely plays which have given the team a chance to win (his block on Lebron in overtime being the most salient to me). Neal needs to not be a liability and hit the open shots Green and the rest of the players on whom Miami focuses its attention give him. Danny did his part Tuesday, even though he could have done more.

I hope Green feels like he choked, though, because he's shown that he responds to that feeling very well. I could totally see him shooting even when the defenders close out, or at least being more aggressive inside the arch. Just like with Leonard, it's time for the young players to start owning the results of the games. Even though the game wasn't lost because of Leonard's missed free throw, I hope he feels like he let the game slip away. He and Danny should feel like the Heat took something from THEM, not just from the team. When they do that, they can control the outcome. The Big Three becoming the Big Five would be huge right now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

He's been a monster all year, and he'll be a monster today. I honestly think that he is the key - we need Tim and Tony to show up, and Kawhi to do what he has been doing plus one of those ultra-disruptive 5 minute stretches where he steals the ball 3-4 times and puts the Heat totally out of rhythm like he did in game 3 (he was the catalyst to the ridiculous 3pt shooting in the 3rd Q).

Whatever happens, KL is an incredible player and I'm so glad he's at the core of Spurs: The Next Generation.
