If you believe Kawhi is top 4, that's your opinion which I'm not going to agree with.

I'm not in the mood anymore.

I ain't even talking bout his ranking anymore

You brought up three similar players who are not as good as he is, and those three players are all great NBA talents, top 15 players

 

[Mrbob]

Damn I wanted game 7s.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Ennis took a bump against Kawhi and he's been bunk since.

They're comparable and would be as highly regarded if they wore a Spurs jersey.

 

[overcast]

Leonard is so good

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Tony Parker playing like he wants to go home and fuck somebody's wife.

 

[h1nch]

I gotta say, Mike Conley has shown me something. Like Ive always respected his game and loved how he's improved himself year over year, but he's been so F'ing good this series. He's been every bit as good as Kawhi and I've never been this terrified of seeing him w/ the ball in crunch time.

 

[TTG]

Welp, that's that. Conley was awesome and then he wasn't. The Spurs are the Spurs.

 

[Tommy DJ]

I honestly didn't know Tony Parker had it in him. I have no fucking idea if he's taken some PEDs recently or he's legitimately resting the entire regular season by doing fuck all on the court.

 

[LionPride]

No, because if you take current Kawhi, not the one that came in, he is a better player. My eyes and the eyes of 99.9% of people say this. Stats say it. It has nothing to do with him being a Spur. It has something to do with him being a fucking phenomenal player. Put him on any fringe playoff team, or lower seeded team, they get significantly better.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

How much they paying Conley to jack them guys up like that again?

 

[Redd]

Crap shot by Conley almost looked like he was trying to draw a foul.

 

[overcast]

Parker came through too fucking hell.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Rockets - Spurs is gonna give me a heart attack

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Again, if Kawhi played for any other team, no one would care about him.

People care about PG13, Buttler and Klay. I disagree with this assessment. All these guys are all stars and top 15 players in the game.

 

[WoodWERD]

Parker! Yeahhhh boyeeee

(...unintelligible)

/fuck these refs

 

[random25]

Damn Grizz you almost had it.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Aldridge you big ass idiot.

 

[LionPride]

Mike played the hell outta this series, showed the world why he got payed, showed the world just how fucking good he is

Marc played like ass this game, bigs didn't rebound well

Hopefully Wolves don't disappoint me next season(he says knowing they will)

 

[Shamrock7r]

What a bullshit foul

 

[metalslimer]

What a bullshit foul

Aldridge should have known better

 

[Redd]

He got the foul that time.

 

[mjp2417]

Nice showing by Memphis. Conley and Gasol are still really good, but it's hard to see them as anything other than a tough first round out for the rest of their careers there.

 

[overcast]

I mean LMA played him a little close but you can't do much more considering Conley just ran into him.

 

[random25]

lol Aldridge that's a stupid foul to give.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Still a game all of a sudden

 

[Hitta93]

He made the successful switch from PF to SF. Outside of that, he's not what the media wants me to believe he is.

Are those players as highly overrated like Kawhi is?

 

[metalslimer]

Damn that was literally the worst sequence of events of memphis

 

[TTG]

Woo, Conley just stood there and stared at it, didn't even attempt to pick Parker up. Was he on him for most of Tony's 8-11 night?

 

[random25]

That was so unfortunate. RIP in pieces Grizz.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Horrific sequence.

 

[Phoenix RISING]

lol at kawhi not being top 5, let alone top 10

Did dude even make a top ten list yet that excludes him?

Hypothetically:

LBJ
Curry
Durant
Harden
Westbrook
CP3
Anthony Davis
Klay


I mean, my brain is like, C'mon, SON putting Klay there even in a HYPOTHETICAL, and we still need two more players.

 

[WoodWERD]

How is Kawhi overrated? How is the league's best perimeter defender, one of the league's best all around scorers overrated? How Sway how

 

[Ninja Scooter]

yo Jaime Maggio...

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Pop gonna slide Fiz a cool 5 grand for a good effort.

 

[Mory Dunz]

yo Jaime Maggio...

?
what happened

edit
oh, tony parker joke I assume

 

[Cooter]

God, Hou or SA Is gonna get worked by GS. Hou can't hold them under 120 and SA won't score over 105.

 

[overcast]

Rockets/Spurs is gonna be great.

Was hoping this series would go 7 though.

Congrats on finding your corner.

All I can do is advise you to watch more basketball™. We're not going to agree.

 

[Mory Dunz]

lolll barkley

 

[invaderzim69]

Great game by the Spurs to eliminate Memphis. Memphis always gives us a hard effort when we play them, now its the Rockets. That should be a fun series. I like the Spurs over Houston.

 

[Jonsoncao]

Have you watched this 4th quarter at Memphis, when Spurs are like, down 7 with 5 min to go?

Team effort, Kawhi made some plays as well as Tony Parker, who people say is trash now.

if he keeps having games like this he might be elevated to role player status.

You are literally the only person with this opinion, it's not a matter of agreeing, facts literally tell you that you are fucking wrong. The amount of wrong that you spew is just stupid. It is not an opinion to call Kawhi a role player, not that good, etc. Those are blatant lies and falsehoods.

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

Houston are going to wreck us in 6.

 

[panthapanda]

I personally think that he's just taking the KD route and saying the Spurs system is just making Kahwi better than he really is. That's what I'm basically taking it as. If not then idk what to say then.

 

[Phoenix RISING]

Houston are going to wreck us in 6.

Nah. Grizzlies are our worst matchup now that OKC does not have Durant.
