I fully support that, but I do have to say it was getting a little annoying how many of them were in our sub talking shit for a significant chunk of the early season, especially when Dillon Brooks was really popping off. Absolutely gas up your dudes, just do it in your own space

Honestly they’re underrated at this point given how bad the narrative about them is

It’s only because we look so helpless sometimes without an actual PG. If we had even just 1 guy who could organize the offense competently (FVV) we’d easily have 5-6 fewer losses.

Yeah people will forget how good Kawhi was from 2016-2021

I remember that playoff series he had vs the grizzlies and that 43 point game

He looked like Jordan/Kobe just bigger

Dude was so dominant on defense and was hitting insane fadeaways

Okay dude

Kawhi was the better two way player when he was first team over KD

Saying a guy who won 2 defensive players of the year and consistently has great offensive efficiency is overrated is crazy

TBF Kawhi was never like that in the rs for most of his prime.

brnccnt7

2 | 3 hours ago

Because he’s never been a volume scorer/shooter like Kd

You guys obsess over offensive stats and scoring titles but ignore what Kawhi did on the defensive end for like a 5+ year stretch

allyourfaces

-1 | 3 hours ago

I mean being a volume scorer is… pretty important especially for the top dawgs in the league.

Kawhi is also kinda like Jimmy, we know he’s capable of being so and does in the playoffs but seems to kinda coast for the rs.

brnccnt7

2 | 2 hours ago

I know it’s important but you have to look at how he started his career

I watched him in person in college, he was always a defensive guy first and was that way on the Spurs for a few years

Scoring isn’t his natural strength like it is for Kd. Kd has been a pure scorer since he was a kid.

But yes as you mentioned, Kawhi and Jimmy can dial it up when needed and carry the offensive load, that’s just not their main focus and it makes sense since they carry on defense too. Even now after major injuries and being older, Kawhi has been playing really good defense.

Personally I’d take a guy who’s gonna give me 25 points and stellar defense over the better scorer who won’t be dominant on defense

Kevin Durant was a very good defender in his prime.

I also remember the 2015-2016 playoffs when the Spurs won a franchise record 67 games, Kawhi was 2nd in MVP voting, and made 1st team all-NBA over Durant.

Then Durant sent him home. Kawhi was mostly guarding Westbrook by the end of the series because he wasn’t impacting Durant.

Saying a guy who won 2 defensive players of the year and consistently has great offensive efficiency is overrated is crazy

A lot of people will argue Kawhi didn’t reach his offensive peak until 2017, which is true… but he also wasn’t as good of a defender after 2016. He was still very good and could make a huge impact in the right matchup (Giannis in the 2019 ECF), but was not the same menace every night.
