When's Kawhi gonna start showing why he was FMVP?

[T_L_P]

Danny Green?

I mean more since Kawhi's return. In December it was all Danny, Cory and Tim.

Danny has been in Pop's doghouse lately because he can't seem to the hit the ocean at times and his defense, whilst still elite, hasn't been as sharp (neither has Tim's or Kawhi's to be honest so I can't be mad).

But yes, Kawhi, Tim and Danny have definitely been our top 3 players this year.

Spurs just coasting.

Gotcha.

But then major hype posting ensued about his future game for the upcoming/current season.

Not seeing it, yet.

So, after Kawhi's FMVP he was supposed to drop that whole ball-movement system in order to jack up ISO shots to improve personal stats?

[russwest0]

Whenever he faces LeBron on the big stage I guess.

I mean, you didn't expect JJ Barea and Jason Terry to miraculously become all star players just because they clowned on LeCramp on the biggest stage, did you?

there were at least 3 times in that 4q where he started to force it knowing he could beat down the defense but caught himself being stupid and went back into the correct way of playing basketball

[Paul George 24]

He's a role player who got hot from Pop's system. Dont expect too much from him stat wise but the impact is clearly there. That said he's the best player on a proven team.

u re moron if u thought he is a role player and got hot from pop's system

Kawhi's been Isolating quite a bit the past 5-6 games...kind of ignoring open shooters...and he's not great at it.

I don't mind it though. The Regular Season is about improvement and chemistry building as far as I'm concerned.

So ISO away, Kiwi. As long as you aren't terrible at it.

[LoneyROY7]

best perimeter defender in the league
best rebounder among small forwards

*while Tim and Manu are playing your score will not increase dramatically

Timmy's averaging 15 ppg and Manu's averaging 12 ppg. Hardly guys that should hold any teammate back scoring-wise.

[BuffaloBill]

19 points
14 rebounds
3 steals
2 assists
1 block

good night

what else do you expect

This, but his biggest asset is clearly his defense

[I<3NBA]

i read some stats earlier that showed the Spurs offensive and defensive rating was better when Kawhi was on the floor.

[Mr. Jabbar]

in the finals, obviously..
