Beautifulness!
Looking great.

Spurfan doesn't even realize his full offensive potential. Dude can get any shot he wants when posting up/facing up and his handles are only getting better. Top 5 in MVP voting this year tbh.
Truth bombs.
Would not surprise me at all. Srs.
But, Matt Barnes
More Kawhi Spam
Kawhi can get any shot he wants. But he wants a lot of bad ones.
Brace yourself.
hopefully that efficiency improves..don't want him in Melo/Kobe league of 6-17 nights for his 20 points..thus far, it seems like the end of Clippers series has carried over to the pre-season..
Meh, it beats 1-5 for 8 pts
thus far, it seems like the end of Eurobasket has carried over to the pre-season
Looking good
If merely being better than Parker is the bar you're setting, then that's a pretty low standard. I think you are underestimating kawhi's potential.
I think Kawhi can and should work to improve his efficiency, and shot selection is a good start. Don't you?
What was his ts% last night?
What are you guys seeing? I mean sure there are some bad shots here or there, but overall I'm not seeing terrible shot selection. They're the same midrange jumpshots that he normally makes. I'm sure they'll become more automatic as the season gets going. He'll go through slumps but not because his shot selection has changed...moreso just the fact that midrange jumpers can be inconsistent.
That's basically what happened in the LAC series. Barnes didn't really do , the same midrange shots he was making early on just stopped falling.
He is too quick to KawhISO and settle for midrange jumpers. He has the ability to score in other ways but settles for that one too often.
I think he'll get better.
Kawhobe Bryneord, tbh
Smalls playing in the post on a non-mismatch is bad offense. The fact that two of the four other players are bigs means it's really hard for him to get spacing, especially without taking someone out of the play. Then Kawhi doesn't get post-up and go. He dribbles a lot, and because it's small-on-small action, he doesn't get very far down into the paint. So he ends up taking a semi-contested mid-range turnaround. That's a bad shot. And then from the high post, he too often pulls up from like 15 feet, which isn't that good of a shot.
His game is antiquated.
I thought it was last game, but maybe it was Miami where Kawhi got awesome post position off a fake screen. He was like four feet from the basket when he caught it. And he just took it for a score. It was perfect. The idea of Kawhi taking a 20-foot face-up jumper from the elbow makes me nervous those are NOT good shots, no matter how good he is at hitting them.
Dude won us a 'ship with an antiquated game.
Jordan and Kobe and Wade won other ships. Who do you want to lead us in scoring exactly. Don't give me a bull response too.
in advance if you think LMA.
I expected his handles to be better this year. Not really seeing anything new, he's just taking more shots. And like Chinook said, his shot IQ is not there..yet anyway. I'm sure Pop or one of the coaches will work with him on that.
