Everything Kawhi Leonard

[golden]

Noone really tries him is the problem.

Yeah, Kawhi is like the equivalent of a great rim protector in that opposing players eventually don't even think about driving on him. But I have noticed that guys will try to shoot over him.

Guys, how's Kawhi's defense this year? I know its really good via eye test but I don't see him in the DPOY conversation this season.

so I'm just wondering, is he playing as good as previous year on the defensive end of the floor?

His role with the Raptors as the primary scorer will probably not allow him to focus on defense as much as he was able to with the Spurs. He's still really good though on that end of the floor. Likely not DPOY good to answer your question.

Defensive player of the year tonight. Wow, that was cool to watch.

Keon pointed out Kawhi had a huge defensive game throughout tonight, and that’s true, but those last two possessions are where we see that when it matters ... Kawhi can SHUT. THE FUCKING. DOOR.

Wow.

Call me crazy but I think Kawhi Leonard probably should be already deserving to be on the list of the top 50 NBA players of all time. Yes the sample size is small but really there arent many guys that were as talented as he is and he would have done well in any era.

Kawhi, like many superstars, has seen his overall defensive impact drop as he's taken on a high offensive load, as you can't go all out on both ends for heavy minutes. But unlike many superstars, he's seen it drop to roughly average rather than way below average, and also unlike many superstars, he is still capable of making an insane difference on that end when he needs to - for short spurts shifting the momentum mid-game, or as we are seeing in some close games, making the opposing team's life miserable for the last two minutes of the game.

[Chefff]

I do get the feeling he has another defensive gear that hasnt shown itself..yet

Good call. It definitely showed up at the end of last night’s game!

Or maybe the reason we don't see him playing defense that hard all game is that he's saving himself for the Clippers next season?

Three winky faces are insufficient. Pink font please.

In the interview where serge says none of us are safe if kawhi leaves. I think this says something about how serge and ill bet the entire team want to stay here. DD wasnt the only one who wanted to stay. Ed Davis was upset and I believe Ross was too. Even LouWill wanted to stay. All for many reasons Im sure. Also what MU does in picking guys who are serious AND have quality character can go a long way. This on top of good people in the organization and as far as I know they are super cool too. Its hard to leave good people at a workplace.

Kawhi should just move his gf and kid up here. Kids love the snow 😜. Ill bet he sees how Lowry and others kids enjoy their time here and does just that. Hope so at least. Casey said it couldnt be a better place to raise his young children.

And ya of course theres winning. Go raps!

Honestly for all my griping about weather, there is nowhere I'd rather raise kids than Canada. At Kawhi's level he can afford the best private schools but just in general our society is safer than the USA.

The metric system & parking spots for moms are also pretty big factors. But we've got the no-ESPN on cable TV thing figured out though, right?

Not to mention the treatment of people of colour compared to the states. I would much rather bring up my children knowing that each and every person is equal and should be treated as such. I know we are not perfect but much better than the states.

Toronto also "smells different" so it is important we provide free agents with complimentary nose plugs. Or Axe body spray so that they can kill everything in a 10 metre radius
