2018 NBA Post-Season Thread

Also you’re forgetting how he was actually getting his teammates involved quite a bit in the 2016-2017 playoffs

Pop had the ball in his hands way more than usual and he held his own

28/8/5 on 53/46/93 in 12 games before getting Zazaed

My god dude, tell me thats not ridiculous. On 67 TS% . Sixty. Seven.

But yeah he's not clutch

 

[Paulius]

Is there a little gap between him and Kd offensively? Sure but its little

But we all know theres a big gap between them defensively

And lately kawhi is taking the clutch factor over KD too

Also dont forget Kawhi had these warriors down 23 before he got zazaed, and was absolutely exposing their offense by being on the floor defensively

This 3 literally covered up all of his fuck ups from the past

Well done

Its not recency bias haha. At no point was Kawhi better. Hate KD all you want, but hes a bad man. There are plenty of other clutch shots too.

And Ill take Curry 3.

Kawhi and AD 4/5 cant decide

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And yeah he was a better facilitator in last years playoffs to the point where Id respect but he has to do it over the course of a season

 

[Paulius]

Just because he isnt flashy and has a quiet personality, people tend to not give him enough credit because its all about entertainment these days

Dude is a perfect basketball player. Overall, and i mean OVERALL, theres no one better than him

Outside of Lebron just because hes lebron even tho he doesnt play a lick of defense, overall, kawhi is the best basketball player in the world. Overall

Hes a bad man on the easiest road. When things get a little tough tho....

KD!!! WHERE ARE YOU, KD?! Has anybody seen KD?

KD is quiet too hahaha

I literally just told you a flaw in Kawhis game but now hes perfect

Got it. Ill drop out now

How is that a flaw?

You want him to be rondo at facilitating now? Hes a good enough facilitator for it not to be a flaw

And you know what i meant when i was talking about Kawhis personality. He isnt all out there like all these guys. Whens the last time he did some KD like interview? Or tweeted some shit. You know what i meant. People dont ride with Kawhi bc he isnt entertaining and hes all about the business

 

[Paulius]

Quite a reach there with that “flaw” tho haha

Definitely something to bring up in comparison of Steph being a complete liability defensively

His facilitating is a flaw. Dont know where I said anything about Rondo. Always fun to be straw manned though.

 

[Paulius]

I mean listen, i get it

You like that Steph can drop 9 threes in a game and i understand, its cool

But Kawhi is just a perfect player. Overall, hes better

Like i said, at worst kawhi is top 3. If u have Kd over him, its fine

But putting kawhi outside top 3 is suspect

Go rewatch the 2016-2017 spurs playoff games

Proved that when he needs to do it, he can do it. Dont see why you need him to prove it during the entire 82. I mean i do get it, because you’re reaching for a flaw but hes capable of doing it. Pop and the Spurs just dont need him to do it during the freaking regular season

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The way Steph curry can completely change an entire offense just by his presence is more valuable than Kawhis defense

Good night

Im not even going to begin to touch how flawed that logic is

Just proves you literally dont watch Kawhi on defense because Kawhi being on the floor can literally ruin the entire teams offense. Hes great at it man. Thats so valuable

Game 1 vs the warriors he exposed all of those bums

But just watch him next year please

Also, wish we could see Steph playing without 3 other all stars when the defense can never leave KD and Klay. Warriors have it way too easy and you know it

 

[Paulius]

Im not even going to begin to touch how flawed that logic is

Sure, we’ll see him in next years playoffs when hes once again carrying the Spurs

But damn itd be nice for him to play with 3 other all stars, dont ya think? Would really open up that floor for him even more, dont ya think? Damn must be nice

 

[Paulius]

Its fine man, you can have curry over Kawhi but next year dont tell me i didnt tell you so when Kawhi is back destroying this league
