‘I Just Said Come On!’ Kawhi Leonard Reacts To RARE 5th Technical Foul Of Career, Win Against Suns



‘I Just Said Come On!’ Kawhi Leonard Reacts To RARE 5th Technical Foul Of Career, Win Against Suns

That first half for you guys obviously second half Fenix made a run but that first half offensively was not the blueprint so to speak was that about the most inflow you guys have kind of felt offensively like as the collective I mean it’s hard to say uh

You know but uh I mean that’s what the numers say that everybody was in a good Rhythm shots was falling and was playing pretty good defense um but it’s hard to say when you’re doing it at the time you know you’re thinking about oh this great so

They were sending two or three guys that you ear really help PG get going how much do you think it helps you and just the team in general when you have a guy like P or guy like James when they are sending doubles at you they’re able to

Get going I think it helps everyone I it’s tonight it was me uh you know they start pissing PG and James and then and then we start getting open shots collectively so um you know if one of us gets it going it allows uh the game to

Just get get easier for anybody on the team um you know even Norm getting good shots getting great shots to um ducking in and yeah how beneficial is it to you to have a guy like James who maybe you don’t have to holding the ball up quite as

Much just pretty much what I talked on just uh him being able to you know bring the ball the floor uh I’m caused to to get to the ball and then um you know him getting to uh easy layups it opens up the floor for all of this mentioned

Terence start that he got off to 12 first quarter points playing with him what do you see from him on that end the floor offensively where he’s able to find uh success um even if call you know plays aren call from anything like that uh just like I was saying you know

If we’re getting double team or um you know it allows him to get open looks and tonight he knocked him downs and he was able to have a good first quarter what is it about transition defense that you guys feel like better I emphasis James was an area he feels like

You guys improve on to what is about that area um just not running back to match ups I think um you know whoever we start on we just got to run back and pick up whoever’s uh coming up the floor obviously communication and um just knowing what we’re doing this is your

Most efficient season that you’ve had um does it feel like because of you know James being here PG alongside the spacing that’s been afforded that you’re able to get in your spots a lot quicker a lot easier than perhaps in past years um I mean yeah I mean like I said we all

Make the game easier for ourselves um and as well as uh you know I think it’s my 12th or 13th year so it could be everything you know it’s everything that I’m acced to it all the Reps that I put in um playing with these guys uh and then just having an

Experience looking ahead to New Orleans Friday I don’t know I’m think about that tomorrow um starting line line the here starting line it’s about to play the most minutes together any line of any season since you got here a lot of injuries obviously caused so much

Inconsistency to get here but a lock out too and with four months still have play the season like how much better game the starting lineup could get much better kind of starting lineup get when you’ve already banked this when minutes together it’s still January 3rd uh I think just the things that uh

You pretty much asked me earlier about transition and just all of us uh you know collectively bonding in on the defensive end and also getting better with spacing on the offense and um you know time we tell we just got to keep uh um well not get complacent and um keep

Setting Higher Goals for ourselves you you got hit with a t you don’t get hit with many Techs in your career is it a shock to you when you actually do pick one up every now and then uh not really I mean I’m not thinking about it like I

Said during that time I’m really focused on the call and um what I felt like should have been called at the time I’ll probably get it back cuz I didn’t cuss or anything after just say come on

  1. Kawhi is the most disrespected superstar. While yes, he does get calls at times, he should be at the FT line way more than he is. Dude gets fouled a lot but the refs don't seem to want to call it

  2. Is it just me, or did it seem like Kawhi had to answer basically the same question 3 times in a row, and again later in the interview? They keep asking about how Kawhi's all-star teammates make the game easier, and he answers it every time with, "Like I said…" but they just don't get it.

  3. I love how Kawhi is bursting with emotions when he speaks to the press, lol! Seriously, though, a man of few words who lets his game do the talking.

  4. Refs mad that they aren’t as important now that flop calls ar down so they’re itching to call anything else to feel engaged

  5. Are they using microphones? It is just a bunch of mumbling. Maybe this should be listed under ASMR! BTW..the "technical foul" question happens at the 4 minute mark.

  6. this game is so rigged when it comes to bettors. imagine kawhi getting a tech for doing nothing

  7. us fans need to get together and do a petition or something to stop this bs the refs doing they are literally ruining basketball and the fun out of it..
    was it Scott foster again this time?

  8. Statement from the Ref: “yea but normally he don’t say a GOTdamn thing. Scared the hell out of me I almost sh*T myself.”

  9. Kawhi be looking so sad in the face like I be feeling bad but he prolly happy ash he rich asf but why he always seem so sad💀
