    Everyone does it to a large degree. To me the staying on the floor sulking like a baby is unbecoming.
    Absolutely. It's like other aspects of his game, he'll learn when to and when not to. If it becomes an issue I'm sure Pop will have a talk with him. Right now it appears Pop is letting him find his place across the board. Sometimes it'll be pretty while other times not so.

    We'll see how he does as the season progresses but I like to believe Leonard will find his balance.

    Yup. Replace Enrique with 34 year old Steve Nash(Parker's current age) and Spurs would be a 70 win team. Absolutely ludicrous that Tony had the gall to compare himself to one of the all-time best shooters/playmakers in NBA history.
    Hahahahah 70 wins! Parker made Nash look like a schoolgirl in the 2008 playoffs. Absolutely ended his career and any outside shot he ever had at reaching a Finals. I'll take Parker's 4 les and FMVP over Nash's stat padding any day of the week.

    Didn't Nash lead a team to the WCFs just 2 years later?

    It's natural for Superstars to complain as Harlem pointed. They should tbh..That's how you get favorable calls in the long-run anyway.

    It's also essential to complain about calls as it serves the player on the long-run. I wouldn't be surprised if he was encouraged to complain about bad calls.

    Complains do lead to favorable calls in the long-run..This is pretty darn evident. It's important that he's given the freedom to complain. TD has done it his whole career tbh.

    It just puts pressure on the officiating to make the next call in your favour...If you're going to be a Go to Guy, imo...you need to be able to complain.

    Obviously you don't want to whine and complain at every call, but it's essential that Kawhi starts vocing his opinion now to establish himself late in the season..

    The game is not all rainbows tbh..You need to dirty up and use those refs..

    For example Durant gets favorable calls more than any other superstar because he also complains the most...Just look at his Te al call.

    Pop gets away with Murder sometimes because he gets tons of T too..

    You need to learn how to work the refs as a superstar..

    basketball is not all Kombaya....blah blah..lets allb e friends.

    I like kawhi chirping at the refs. He can't be a mute his entire career. He was waay more vocal in college and it's refreshing to see him be comfortable enough as a pro to stand up for himself.

    yeah, and I argue with his current usage rate he'd would need to do it.

    It's really one of the best thing that you can do to get favourable calls.

    And like you said, it just makes the players comfortable.

    I'm not sure why people are complaining. It's a good sign really

    He wasn't so much chirping as just sitting on the floor throwing his hands up. lol

    Timmy has a decent shot at reaching top 10 if he stays healthy this season. Would love to see him pass Shaq when all is said and done but that's probably asking too much.

    Complaining about calls is sort of like flopping, fans don't like seeing it but it ends up netting the player extra calls. Also the reason Kawhi is complaining more is because he's taking a lot more contested shots/ dealing with more contact than when he was mostly just a corner 3 guy early on.

    It is to be expected too, there will be physical play and not every thing will be called. Too much whining just gets you to be ignored TBH, like crying wolf. Anyways, to me the disturbing thing is just the sitting on the floor whining. He did that in preseason too. Not a fan.

    He only did it once that I remember and that was during a dead ball stoppage, maybe he did it more but I wasn't paying too much attention to it.

    If you call "leading your team" scoring 8.5 PPG less than Jason Richardson (on way worse shooting) and being the #3 offensive option, then yah. Lol.

    Huh? He averaged 18 and 10 on ridiculous efficiency in the playoffs..

    Yea, I saw him do it in preseason too, but that one time it led to points on the other end as his teammates were defending 4 v. 5. I hope it doesn't continue. He is usually or was the kind of guy to shake off that stuff and run right back.

    Man, Aldridge is 30 years old..The spurs will probably have to look for another guy once he nears the end of his contract...I know it's a long way out, but kawhi would be on his absolute prime at Aldridge last year...I wonder who the spurs an pick up or develop 4 years from now..When Aldridge starts to decline.

    The side camera height in Boston is by far the worst in the league and provides the worst view of the game, worse than PHX.

    I would ing hate if the Spurs provided a ty viewing experience at their home games like at TD.

    Glad that's over for the year.

    You know what,he's obviously a fantastic shooter,but despite still trying to fit in he's also showing a BBIQ and an ability to do many things on the court outside of scoring I didn't expect him to have,so at the end of his contract he probably won't be the elite big man he is now,but he could still be a way more than serviceable NBA-player...he's not one to rely too much on athletism after all,we're not talking about Howard or DeAndre Jordan

    Agreed. LMA has impressed me with a lot of things that have nothing to do with shooting. He should be able to age well.

    Knicks just beat the Wizards in DC. They are a tricky team tbh.

    Melo had 36 points and looks healthy. He always kills us

    we'll need some kind of good night to beat them IMO
    absolutely agree ... and I absolutely expect a loss if Pop follows my suggestion
