lol

ilx: kawhi is as good as pippin
me: naw
matt "archivist" armstrong: u doubted kawhi

suuuuuure man that's what's happening here

shouldnt u bee searching the archives to pull a single post out you can misconstrue

nursing weird grudges about foreign big men

haha come on no one said kawhi was as good as pippen

Pippen also set a career high in points at 32 in the playoffs, when he was a year older than Kawhi btw.

WELL IN THAT CASE

I lol at pippen for that. it's very funny that that's all he did, he is overrated

nice job only scoring 32 in the playoffs, Pippen guy.

haha come on no one said kawhi was as good as pippen

kev we misconstrued this we should apologize

literally my entire argument with ilx abt kawhi is regarding whether he is a great scorer/creator and i am being persecuted by this board for insulting their boyfriend

like i have complimented him as a great all around player a million times and then said i dont think he will be as good as pippin <<<which someone did say and was agreed with

kev we misconstrued this we should apologize

ha ur doing it right now

You think he's overhyped and that's fine but I also think it's not gonna work out for you dude

I mean there's only so many things like pointing out that his career high of 32 isn't impressive before you're just the Kawhi doubter guy, sorry

matt plz mention this every day going forward it will be very enjoyable for everyone

probably will go better than the Ryan Hollins 2.0 thing tho

you're just the Kawhi doubter guy, sorry

matt armstong ladies and gentlemen

Kev will concede the point soon, like Jord did with the 2011 draft. But you, you have the long term potential to find a problem with a Kawhi MVP season or something.

ilx: i see kawhi developing into scottie pippin
me: i dont think he has the distributing skills of pippin who was the defacto point guard for one of the all time great teams
matt armstrong: UR THE KAWHI H8R SRY

MATT SAID KAWHI WILL WIN AN MVP AND I WILL TELL HIM HE IS BAD AND WRONG EVERY DAY

xp dude you have no chill whatsoever this is getting ridiculous

32pts is not a very high career high for a 4th year player are you disputing this!

this is why I have no opinions

you SEEM to think Kawhi is overhyped in general, otherwise you wouldn't focus on things that have nothing to do with him being like or unlike Pippen. Same with the nba twitter account posting that picture.

And it's not like people said he'd be exactly like Pippen anyway, just that he'll fill that role in the NBA tapestry which it looks like he's on his way to doing tbf. Pippen was more of a point forward it's true but he also posted up a lot like Kawhi does and had a lot of athletic physical similarities.

tbh I've probably moved on from Ryan Hollins 2.0 and will go with "curio big man with obvious limitations" next year

the similarities to pip are obvs but when someone mentions that its also perfectly normal to also discuss the ways he is different, also that pip was an alltime great, this is called a discussion, which becomes way less enjoyable when someone files it away for future reductive point scoring

i mean occasional reductive point scoring is fine dont get me wrong

but its better to not score too many points... just like kawhi :)

I haven't brought up anything from the discussion and had no problem with it at the time. You've moved on to taking potshots at him and saying he's overhyped in general which is very different.

Maybe because that stuff is somewhat whimsical for you you think it shouldn't matter in terms of reductive point scoring idk

hes a lil bit overhyped rn, he fits the profile too

All he does is fucking beast in the playoffs goonie g, what more do you wannnnnnnt

and will go with "curio big man with obvious limitations" next year

matt the fact that in the midst of a completely different debate you're managing to bring up something i typed a. while half-drunk b. almost a week ago and c. more as a troll than anything else is pretty absurd

but generally i wld say my criticism of his over hypedness has been pretty measured and reasoned and paired with assurances that he is great or very good

All he does is fucking beast in the playoffs goonie g, what more do you wannnnnnnt

hmmm yeah cuz you really stayed out of it lol

almost a week ago

I'm basically dissatisfied by any prognosis that says kawhi isn't a future HOFer

:)

the spurs future is very interesting btw and prob dependent on them landing one big free agent which theyve never been able to do before but maybe the landscape has changed

PIPPEN IS COMPLETELY UNIQUE

we haaaaaave all-caps liftoff!
