Kawhi refuses to jump when he plays defense. He won't contest at the rim. He's not an elite defender by any means. Just has long hands and gets the occasional steal. And on the offensive end he's gun shy.
This got needs to show up, stupid . Not gonna get nearly the deal he would have.

He got his ass kicked by probably the best forward in league history. It's going to happen sometimes against a player like that.
Yeah in this league scrubs are never overpaid.
There is no reason to jump, he played perfect defense on multiple occasions where LBJ scored, there is absolutely nothing you can do against probably the future GOAT, a guy that outweighs Leonard by 40lbs. He jumps and LBJ penetrates, pick your poison, I'd rather him shoot it.
James hit a lot of the shots you want him taking, just like in Game 7 last year. It's not like Kawhi got torched by Shawn Marion.
I think his defense was good enough, sometimes he did let Lebron by him a bit too easily but Diaw and him couldn't do much more on those jumpshots.
His offense was never that reliable, he is nothing more than Bruce Bowen on offense...
Defensively, he's fine. He's going against LeBron is why he looks so bad.
This. LBJ will likely retire with more championships than Jordan. He is better than Jordan, IMO.
We don't need a voice of reason here. Cliff jump already.
And this guy was anointed the next Spurs superstar?. The NBA must really be a joke.
Relax gots..kawhi is going against a top 3 player of all time, he's going to have problems against him..
He's catching the ball at the top of the 3-point line, which is stupid, he isn't going to create off the dribble against Miami's swarming defense..
When Ray Allen is on the floor and the Spurs have Diaw on the floor, Leonard should be posting up Allen on every possession..it has worked all season long, no reason to go away from it now..they literally didn't run a single post play for him, despite having extreme success running that play, all season..
Kawhi's defense is fine. LeBron is a beast and it looks like the Spurs won't contain him this time.
I don't like his touches on offense though. That Splitter/Duncan lineup needs to end since Splitter went back to beta mode.
Look like Lebron has been studying Leonard's game and this year he is ready for Leonard.
The didn't even run a single post play for Duncan in the second half, what makes you guys think Kawhi will get a play..
He won't get a play...Parker and team doesn't really put him in a position to score so he can get in rhythm...
Some team will offer him a max and the spurs won't be able to match
I don't have a problem with Lebron tin' on Kawhi, but who the had ing Lewis??
Our two Spurs superstar missed four consecutive free throws tonight.
People blame Leonard for that, too? ...crazy thing
He's defending the best player in the world.. it's gotta be exhausting. Give him a break. With that said, he needs to make those 5 foot chip shots. He missed like 3 of them today.
Oh well, he went up against a PED abusing freak of nature. Everyone has bad games. He'll wake up, be sure about that.
He can't defense like he wants to because he gets called for tick-tack fouls. Like seriously, that play where LeBron drived in at the end.. WTF was that foul?
Still, needs to hit his shots..
The Duncan post ups were some of the most putrid offensive possessions right there with the Kawhi contested long 2s tbh...
Kawhi is going to kick ass in Miami. GTFO.
You make entirely too much sense. Why do you insist on not jump off of the cliff with all of the other douchnozzles?![]()
