Kawhi Leonard Drops CAREER-HIGH 45 Points | January 1, 2019

[@DeMarvelous_DeChosen]

KAWHI *MVP* LEONARD 45 points NO threes. Only other player likely to do that with NO threes is on the spurs now and he faces him in less than 48 hours. #KawhiVSDeMar

[@ballerparody6339]

LMAO no one . Hahahah. I love kawhi but KD offensively is on another level but since he is on the Larriors he doesn't get many FG attempts. Just watch KD's okc days and not to mention he is a. 4 time scoring champ. Now he has turned into a nice defender. But kawhi is right there tho.

@@aln8702 Kawhi hasn't been doing a lot this season on defence and offence. He is averaging 27,8,2 . Everyone else that I mentioned is doing better than him on PPG, APG, RPG. KD has also improved his defence, I am not saying he is as good as kawhi on defence but he is OK. GIANNIS can easily clamp anyone. He is better than kawhi.

ELT ISO X GG 1 Ast

[@rumbajuice]

He goes from 50% usage rate from San Antonio to 85% here in Toronto. I don't see this offensive strategy working in the Playoffs.

[@LEGIT_ELITE]

Missing Lowry and JV makes a big difference

[@famoss8266]

LightFuse well there’s no Lowry so kawhi and siakam hafta make up for the points lost with Lowry. They’ll learn to play well together when Lowry gets back.

[@rumbajuice]

More than that, coaching has to improve. Look at what Doc Rivers is doing in Los Angeles. He has no All-Star leading his team and yet they're up there.

[@rumbajuice]

It's not like they're doing a bad job, it's just I don't see any system on offense. It's go to Kawhi or Lowry or Ibaka and if nothing's working, scramble. That was the problem last season and It will still be a problem this year. Dwayne Casey was a defensive minded coach so he couldn't help it. Imaging Coach K running the show up north.

[@famoss8266]

Well the team ppg is 113. They’ve played like 1 game fully healthy. The players can handle it pretty good themselves. Lowry has to give Leonard and siakam good looks like he does ibaka, while scoring a bit himself. They’ve gotta minimize they shots missed by creating good shots, and Lowry does a good job of that. And he will get better at doing that with siakam and Leonard when they play together more. Cuz if they get to a point where they can do 30 from Leonard 20 from siakam and 10 from Lowry at minimum, , while everyone else chips in a little, they are looking at a pretty good system.

[@brendanhessels7282]

Hes one of the few superstars who are score first like Durant who averaged less than 4 for his career before joining a pass first system like GSW. The other superstars play point, role matters. Gotta think for yourself and not mindlessly read stats like a shallow unthinking imbecile. Reading off box scores is something the stupidest fans like you do, be better so you don't embarrass yourself.
