Everyone just forgets about Kawhi

CuntWaffle

Yea he has Lamarcus as an anchor but he is a winner.

Not sure if he can beat the Rockets or Warriors.... but don't count out Popavich and the best defender in the NBA.

Rockets going to Rocket. Game 1 was the worst thing that could happen to them

Aldredge needs to get his head out of his ass and ball up.

I haven't forgot, but the Spurs aren't beating the Warriors.

Good game last night though.

He's not willing the spurs to anything special and at the end of the day they need LaMarculous to not be LaMarculous.

The Spurs are without Tony Parker and play Ginobli and David Lee solid minutes. I love Ginobili, but he's done.

Kawhi is good. He's not top 10 in the league, but he's good.

Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say, but nothing comes out when they move their lips.

He was done two years ago. He's that guy who hangs around high for too long. Principal Popp needs to tell him to move along to community college.

He's top 10 in the league. Certainly. Even shitty rankings like SI get that right.

Chris Paul is horribly overrated. John Wall is better right now. The omission of Gordon Hayward is racist. The lack of the Greek Freak in the top 25 by SI is unbelievable.

There's no way there are 10 better players than Kawhi.

Probably better
James
Durant
Harden
Westbrook

Maybe better
Curry
Green

Probably not better but you could maybe argue for it if you wanted
IT
Kyrie

At worst you could argue he's #8 or 9 in the league, and I think that's really low.

He's 5th or 6th IMO.

Yup no lower than 6th, at worst, 7th.

Disgree with both your 'maybe' better of Green and "your probably but you could argues. There are a shitload of guys in that 8/9 spot - IT has been on a spectacular run but he hasn't done it for long enough. Only the doogliest could argue hard for that.

John Wall is right there, Paul George, too. Probably Anthony Davis and/or Boogie (though he's fucking insane and will never reach his potential). Lilliard maybe but we'll never really know since he plays for the blazers. Jimmy Butler has moments. Same with Kyle Lowrie.

Draymond is an enigma - if he's there, I have to also think about Klay. Both are extreme role players. But I don't see much drop off with the Dubs when either goes out since Iguedala is so versatile. So hard to place them in the top 10.

I'm a big pimp for the Greek Freak. He may supplant everybody but your top 5 by the end of next season. His improvement this season was unreal.

Props for not defaulting to Chris Paul taking up a spot.

I could see not top 5 but not top 10?

The Spurs are done winning titles

Dude stop. There's no world where anyone is taking Dameon fucking Lillard over Kawhi.

I would trade Dame for Kawhi in a nanosecond.

I'd even throw in Meyers Leonard for free.

I'm really surprised at how low most of you have Leonard. I'd have him 3rd behind Lebron and Durant. I really don't see how you have Westbrook and Harden ahead of him.
