Almost tore his rotator cuff again trying to catch Stevie Wonder's passes
Completely agree. If we fail in the 1st round here, this is almost all on him. He says he's a max player. He can't be shut down by the friggin Clippers.
When did he say he was a max player? Crofl
Didn't his agent (or he) say that in the offseason? Then the Spurs didn't offer the deal

and lol Parsons deal
Of course his agent wants the max for Kawhi, that's his job.
If we fail first round, blame will be mostly on him and if we go through he will get most credit, seems fair to me.
Mainstream player fans probably will.
They can't see how bad enrique is ing this team and pop won't play kawhi 44 mpg.
They can't see the offense isn't ran through a young stud but through an injury prone over the hill PG that can't pass or shoot.
Manu did it for us but he had more skill then Kawhi on the offensive side. To me Kawhi is a good player he won't be close to Great until he can keep his dribble alive and take it to the rim - Yeah he needs to work on handling the rock if he wants to be the man.
The Paul George led Pacers and the Rose led Bulls have never had realistic shot at a ring. That won't stop you player fans from whining about Parker stealing Kawhi's glory.
This is not about rings man, look what OP said.
¨what kind of hit would it take if he can't lead this Spurs team to at least the 2nd round, tbh?
Pop has been selling him as our next franchise guy, and frankly, it's difficult to argue with it when you look at his entire body of work so far, especially in the playoffs...
Looking at young Tim, he at least always had the Spurs in the 2nd round, and those were the years of the three-peat Lakers, and with a weaker roster...
It it an unfair comparison? Is it putting too much pressure on the guy? Not really a franchise talent? Thoughts¨
Do you see Kawhi as a leader right now? I barely see him demanding the ball, screaming, being the general and the guy who stands for his team as the face of the whole organization.
Kawhi is not a leader because Parker is hogging the ball, Kawhi is not a leader like Lebron is/was, low talker guy humble and everything good but we are in an era were Tim Manu and Parker are still here, maybe he is respectful and dont wanna the cake but he is not acting like the leader of the San Antonio Spurs.
Agreed, he is good but we are waiting for his breakout like he did in the Finals... Pop told him to do it every night and its disappointing, so no he is not the Spurs leader yet.
The first time Barkley faced TD he said "I've seen the future and it's wearing #21". Tim is a once in a lifetime type player so comparing Kawhi to Tim is pretty ridiculous.
No one has said Kawhi is the leader of the team. He still needs to improve on the offensive end before he can be the real leader. He's only 23 years old.
It's all about the rings man. That's why it stupid of you to compare him to other guys who led a ty team early in their careers. Kawhi has had the luxury of playing on a championship team loaded with HOF'ers. He's becoming the leader of that team but he's not there yet. Again, he's only 23.
Yeah, earlier in the year I said if Kawhi could develop a softer touch and solve the riddle of dribble penetration he'd be the next Jordan. He's improved his touch dramatically and has really been making steady progress on his handles. Two years ago he could barely dribble the ball. He still has a ways to go though.
Sean was going on and on about how hobbled Tiago was... his health is the real issue here.
We all know that. But despite of it, if they shot a little better and defended during crucial moments like when they had a 2 pt lead hey could have won the game.
Perhaps you should enlighten us more with your genius basketball takes, in a world where Kawhi > Pippen, Diaw > Lee, and the Spurs are guaranteed to go 82-0 every seasonEnlighten us with your genius basketball takes please , tell us how he's just a Tony Allen/Shane Battier type player.
Were they expected to?The mavs not getting past the first round.
Shane and Allen arents scared of physical contact tbh.
Mavfan with the fails
But the subject was Pop selling Whi as a team leader and both agree he isnt, I named ringless ty teams as an example, I could bring Lebron too but the subject here is leadership and thats something our big handed fella has not accomplished yet.
