No, I'm good thanks.

ok

Just weird that Kawhi would tell a team Doctor that he wanted to go to LA. Even though according to some he isn't even talking to team Doctors. Weird.

[TheDoctor]

I could careless about giving "my report" credit. I just despise people that make condescending jabs about someone they don't even know.

Then again, it's my fault for expecting anything better in a place like this.

Guess that's why I've only posted 7K times in 12 years on here.

Ahhhhhhhhh

[Leetonidas]

Kawhi misses more games per season than Davis and it will not be even close after this season...Dude is about to sit an entire year for being "sore".

Let's just end with the clichés and regurgitated false impressions ..

False impressions? hold on I'll get some source material to support this claim. Brb

[Leetonidas]

k so couldnt find data career wise but from another poster on another forum...

So far this season, he's gone to the locker room six times.

* October 24 -- left after 5 minutes, did not return, 2-1-0-0-1 statline

* November 17 -- left after 21 minutes, did not return, 17-5-2-1-0 statline

* December 1 -- left after 30 minutes, did not return, 19-10-1-2-1 statline

* December 19 -- left after 22 minutes, returned, 37-9-1-1-0 statline

* January 8 -- left after 27 minutes, did not return, 30-10-1-0-1 statline

* February 14 -- left after 12 minutes, returned, 42-15-3-3-2 statline

tbh i didnt say he was "more injury prone" than Kawhi or anything, just pointed out that this dude goes to the locker room at some point during the game fairly frequently, relative to other players

[Leetonidas]

A team Doctor? Please explain. That is big news if true.

he doesnt know anything...him and that other dude on hear talking about their "sources" every 5 seconds like they know whats going on but keep following up with you dont have to believe me i didnt post this so you would believe me ...gtfo with this already

[cjw]

If Silver uncovers some LA tampering here...

[cd98]

Or from one of the Spurs' doctors. Sorry not all of us can contribute 20K posts like you Dex.

One day I wish I can be just like you tbh..

Yikes HIPPA violation.

Jimmy Butler hurt his knee, but it looks like it wasn't an ACL/MCL tear.

Weird season. We go into it with concerns about the Spurs' relationship with their second best player LMA and are ending it with concerns about the Spurs' relationship with their best player Kawhi. We go into with massive injury concerns about Tony and Rudy and come out of it with massive injury concerns with Kawhi. We go into it wondering if we should have paid Patty and Pau so much, and go out wondering if we should pay Kawhi so much.

They shouldn’t have paid Pau and Patty so much... there’s no doubt.

Kawhi probably had the same concern. "If Pau makes what he makes, and Patty makes what he makes, and Parker is going to get the loyalty contract, and I take the supermax..."

So relieved we drafted CoJo instead

[TimDunkem]

All because Drunkford's adopted son wanted daddy to draft his best friend.

Butler tore his meniscus. No timetable for return but at this point it's prolly season-ending.

Go to NY to get a second opinion (and third) Jimmy!!! At the rate he's going if he's any less than 100%, Thibs will finish him.

This is been one of the worst injury year this decade, tbh..Only remember 2015 having similar high profile names going down at one point or another (Paul George, KD, Russ...)

[spursistan]

Knowing Thibs, I expect him to be playing come playoffs..

I hope for Butler's sake he goes with the repair. At this point a menisectomy could destroy his career.

[NASpurs]

Didn't tear his ACL so good news

I appreciate ironies and paradoxes and such.

Setting Tony aside for the present, Pau and Patty were sufficient to start ST shaking its collective head. Kawhi prolly was, too.

Wouldn’t that be some ish if Kawhi asked the FO to resign Patty and Pau?

[spursistan]

Looks like he is going for that..Honestly he would be foolish if he rushes it to comeback for the playoffs to play 40 + minutes a night for Thibs only to invite a another severe tear that would ruin his next season and his last chance at another big contract in 2019..

Then again, some players are just tougher then certain others who are on into their third or fourth medical opinion as we speak..
