[timtonymanu]

Pretty much why I'm not melting down yet.

Green looks gassed having to carry Kawhi's load especially since Daye/Beli are so fucking trash and Anderson is still inexperienced.

Plus the rebounding issue.

Like Harlem said, it's the Enrique Smith factor that is worrying.

Parker sucked last season but he wasn't a cancer on the court. We could still win games in spite of his presence. Now he just kills our offense and doesn't play a lick of defense. Not too confident about a team with current Tony Parker getting as much touches as he does

[BatManu20]

Even IF we have everyone back and healthy at the end of the year, it's going to be a tall task to win without HCA throughout the WC Playoffs. Not panicking at all, but I think expecting a championship this year could be setting yourself up for failure. Just enjoy last years, and if we somehow find a way to get back there this year, so be it. Anything more is just gravy.

With OKC finishing as a lower seed and the West being strong in general, it really is highly unlikely that the top seeds advance IMO. Even if the Spurs finish in the 4-6 range, i think there's a chance they get homecourt in a series or two and against the East.

An important, but unnoticed storyline for last year's Spurs' historic basketball(the greatest playoff team of all-time) was that Parker sat on the bench for large stretches of the playoffs..the Spurs' were statistically better when he was on the bench..he even missed game 5 of the Blazers series and the 2nd half of the OKC series, and the Spurs still won:lol..

Parker was virtually a non-factor in last year's playoffs, and Pop didn't hesitate to sit him for key stretches..I'm not sure Pop will do the same this year, unfortunately, I don't know if Parker's ego could handle 2 straight runs of not being the star..

[Brunodf]

I don't think Kawhi can fix Pop coaching decisions... 2015 Pop is not looking good...

He also negates 6+ from the opponent so that's a 16 point swing. (Just made all of that shit up so I don't know if the math checks out) (also doubt I'm using negates correctly)

Yeah nothing is guaranteed and the Spurs have too much to work on to get back to their expected level. But what they have in their favor is that they match up well with majority of the West that HC doesnt matter much. The East scares me more, imo. Spurs East and the Bulls.

Assuming that Pop isn't going mad scientist and playing Diaw/Ayers in the 4th...

[Johnny RIngo]

I love Leonard but I'm not sure if even he can negate the cancerous effect Parker is having on the starting unit. Tony is scary bad this year. Comparable to Josh Smith or Kobe.

[dabom]

Everyone calling green a max player. :lol

The only max player in the spurs is Kawhi. He just does so many great things on the floor and covers up a lot of mistakes by teammates. Great rebounder. Great defender. No back down attitute. Seriously Kawhi has had to go through the toughest players in the league his whole career. People keep forgetting kawhi has tons of experience at a young age.

Green didn't have a good game tonight, but he's important. I actually feel he plays even better D when Kiwi is out there with him. There's some synergy there.

If the Bulls end up keeping Rose (their version of Enrique), then the Bulls. Then again, I dont think Atlanta's ceiling is as high as the Spurs.

Nah man. Kawhi is the man. He does actually step up when it gets going out there.
He actually says he hates playing bad teams because you can't learn anything from them.
Kid is the truth and plays up to the competition which is good because he won't wear himself out or be stat stuffing.

[ElNono]

Yeah, I agree. Spurs East is nice to watch, but their roster is still limited and that's why I feel they don't have much room to improve on while the Spurs are nowhere near their best.

[Arc]

yeah, we'll be fine once kawhi comes back and is in game shape along with parker. i don't remember the exact stat but the line up we played the most last year has only played like 10-20 minutes so far this year. that pretty much says it all. can't expect to win every game when your best player is sitting in a suit.

i'm probably gonna stop visiting spurstalk until then though. the amount of parker whining/hating on here has gotten to the point where there's no longer any meaningful discussions. it's always "enrique this" or "enrique that." it's like.. we get it, you hate parker. stfu already, cuck.

Exactly. People freaking out about losing to a top 3 team in the East on the road while starting Austin Daye.

[Godbama]

I completely agree, in theory, but:

1.) When will that be?
2.) Will he actually be at 100% when he comes back? I seem to remember talk of him potentially needing surgery after the season is over. If there's even a hint of truth in that, can Kawhi actually "fix everything" if he's still got some sort of nagging hand injury?

We need the defense and rebounding much more than the scoring right now... when we get stops, we normally can score fairly easily on fast breaks... we're just not getting stops now, and that makes it difficult to play at a fast pace...

Originally, Hoops was a troll account. Since 2010, I abandoned my original account and stuck with this one. I grew up in Ohio so I chose Cleveland as my favorite team. I'm a Spurs fan.

I assume you're including the eight game win streak which included the likes of Philly (2), Boston, Indiana, Minnesota and Cleveland (by 2, which every other team in the league pounds home or away) and Brooklyn. Blink twice if this is correct. I didn't say they weren't championship calibre. I said they aren't playing like a championship calibre team at the moment. Also, if the Spurs can't hit free throws, they'll have trouble winning close games regardless who takes the floor.

I'm including whatever the schedule was. That's a 77% win clip. At that clip, if he didn't get injured, our current record would be 30-9. That's good enough for seed #3 right now, only one game behind Portland. IIRC, we only got blown out in one or two games this season, with or without Kawhi. We just haven't had him, Patty, Tony all together at once yet. We had a brutal december schedule.

This team right now isn't playing great, but it's not playing horrible either. When Kawhi was around, our defense was great, but our offense was crap. Now our offense isn't bad, but our defense is lacking. Without our top 5-6 guys healthy, we're not going to win anything, that much is clear. But so far, there's no season ending injuries, so there's nothing to panic about right now.

Agree and disagree. The first paragraph is completely hypothetical. You're making baseless assumptions. They weren't playing great with Leonard and the competition was soft. Other than the game against GS, I can't think of another game that flat out impressed me in all phases. It's true that injuries are the major culprit, but missed defensive assignments, bad free throw shooting, careless turnovers and a little bit of bad luck put them in this current predicament. You can't put that all on Kiwi. "Only got blown out in one or two games" is definitely taking the half glass full approach but, they haven't been blowing teams away either. Believe it or not, the competition is cut throat in the WC and the margin of error is nil. And to think the healthiest, most durable player on the court is 39 year old Tim Duncan.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The biggest problem is how healthy will Kawhi be when he returns? He went from needing surgery to his hand maybe being 100%? I doubt it.

No denying he's a huge help, but this team will still be poor in clutch situations and everyone else needs to step up. Kawhi fixes a lot of issues, but he can't fix the entire team who are struggling mightily all by himself.

[wildchild]

We need the defense and rebounding much more than the scoring right now... when we get stops, we normally can score fairly easily on fast breaks... we're just not getting stops now, and that makes it difficult to play at a fast pace...

Our bigs no named Duncan should be top worst rebounding big men in the league. Tonight, Tiago...3 Diaw....2 Bonner...0.

Take Kawhi's entire career winning rate if you think 22 games is a small sample. It's not much different. When Kawhi was playing, we were missing other key players (Tiago, Tony, Patty) who are now back. Missing freebies costs you much more in close games. I don't think all those games would be that close if we had a full roster, so that's debatable. We're certainly not invincible when fully healthy, but we're also not super horrible right now. As "cut throat" as you say the competition is in the West, and as "terrible" we've been playing with all the injuries and tough schedule, we're a mere 5 games away from the #3 seed, with 43 games to play and we've not yet had a full healthy roster for a single game.

[Silver&Black]

Kiwi gets rebounds. That is all I have to say....

Not arguing with you Nono but a lot of teams can make that claim. Can't worry about the players not dressed, you have to worry about the players that are actually playing. As a unit, it's not a pretty sight. 5 games to #3 seed and 3 games from #9.

[ElNono]

Can they? who? Even the Thunder, who have their own struggles, had their key guys playing together for quite a few games. Bogut has played for the Warriors, IIRC. Blazers were whole through mid-December, and Lopez will likely be back by the end of January. Memphis missed ZBo for a few games, but he's back and playing. Mavs are whole. Rockets are whole. We just had tough luck with injuries this season. Hopefully it stops now. We can have some key guys sit out a game or two, but when it's 10-20 games, there will be repercussions.

I mean, the Spurs might not even peak the way they did last season, that's entire possible, and they might not be able to win it all again (winning it all it's extremely difficult, even when you're clicking. A couple of bad bounces or a shooting slump can leave you out), but right now there's no indication that we can't get the team all healthy at some point, and I think it's fair to say the only way to go is up if we get there. It doesn't mean we're going to win every game, but it does probably mean we're going to get closer to that #3 seed than that #9 seed.

Only issue will be Kawhi's health (yes I know capt. Obvious). You know guys will take shots at his hand. He's a tough kid so as long as the injury isn't made worse, should be okay in that regard.

Least there haven't been any mentions of the tendonitis from last year, so whatever they did with that seems to have helped a lot.

If he's able to play like the 2 games that he had a "bruised" hand then the team should be fine. His only issue was 1st quarter shooting. I'm pretty sure one of those games was the one where he almost got a 5x5.

For those guys who are selective about the reality they can accept, in order to stop living in denial...Leonard's presence is vital to win.

Without him last season: Net RTG only .1

Without him this season: RTG jut .0
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B7RyAknCAAAluMu.png:large

The numbers are really bad and pretty similar, it's not about the team this season... last season they played bad without him, too. His absence makes a bigger negative impact than other players on the team.

You are one of the more ignorant posters on this site. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You'll have to point me to the post where I said Leonard wasn't important and didn't have an impact on the court. The Spurs aren't winning a championship without a healthy Leonard. They also aren't winning a championship without a healthy Duncan, Splitter, Green, Parker and Manu. There isn't anything to debate. If you think Leonard is going to carry the Spurs to a championship, you're the one in denial.

It's not about if Kawhi is or not important, if he has an impact....it's about he's the most important, the bigger impact...Without him last regular season they had a similar record, a stretch of agonizing losses until Leonard's return.

The fact is the Spurs won the WCF with Parker on the bench, they won the semifinals with Manu playing poorly, they won with Danny's 3's weren't falling...but they couldn't win those games without Leonard playing at high level.

Facts and numbers are as they are, it's not their fault if you can't recognize Leonard as the most irreplaceable player on the team.

i'm having a conversation with a dead head who doesn't understand simple English. I'm not discrediting Leonard's importance or value to the team. If you want to set place values on each player, that's your prerogative. I'm flat out telling they won't win a championship without the minions or so-called helpers, if that's how you want to play it, contributing to the just cause. Lebron didn't singlehandedly win Miami a championship in 2012. He had help from players like Miller, Battier, Allen, Chalmers. Same goes for 2013. The place setters are just as important as the meat and potatoes. And don't get caught up in the hype, Leonard played tremendous defense on Lebron in the finals but, he isn't in the same zip code in terms of talent or production.

Btw, why don't you go back and see how many of those games you quoted, in which the Spurs bench obliterated the opposing team's bench in scoring. In all of which you speak, it spoke more about the Spurs depth than anything else. All you did was call out a few names and cherry picked a few games in which they struggled, a shallow move on your part. leonard's had his moments too.

If your goal is to continue to move the goal posts 6 inches to the left every time you Quote me, mission accomplished! It's reading comprehension like yours that only further proves why so many of the big city public elementary schools in the U.S. are failing to make the grade.

Not to discount injuries in general, but the Spurs, unlike last year, are doing themselves in with missed free throws, careless turnovers and missed defensive assignments from normally sound defenders (Green, Duncan, Splitter) most of which has nothing to do with Leonard's absence. No two seasons are alike. I don't buy the regular season record with and without because the schedule was decidedly easier when he played than not this year. Heck, they weren't even impressive in the majority of those games. Last year, coupled with Leonard's injury, Green got off to a ridiculously slow start and Patty didn't emerge til mid season. But, they still beat teams they were suppose to beat.

[Brazil]

An important, but unnoticed storyline for last year's Spurs' historic basketball(the greatest playoff team of all-time) was that Parker sat on the bench for large stretches of the playoffs..the Spurs' were statistically better when he was on the bench..he even missed game 5 of the Blazers series and the 2nd half of the OKC series, and the Spurs still won:lol..

Parker was virtually a non-factor in last year's playoffs, and Pop didn't hesitate to sit him for key stretches..I'm not sure Pop will do the same this year, unfortunately, I don't know if Parker's ego could handle 2 straight runs of not being the star..

:lol unnoticed
:lol repeating the same take over and over and over... we understood you the first time
and finally :lol @ pop giving a shit about a player's ego

[Brazil]

Only people who did not pay attention could think that Kawhi is not the most valuable player of the Spurs since two years now...

Duncan was the best and mnost consistent player of last year PO run without a doubt but Kawhi was more important because of course he is a great player but also because we have nobody at SF position capable to bring half of what Kawhi brings in Defense department, rebounding but also for some stretches in offense. Roster lacks back up SF badly.

Kiwi is a max player in today's nba without the shadow of a doubt... only concern is health... knee, eye, hand...

[heyheymymy]

I'm including whatever the schedule was. That's a 77% win clip. At that clip, if he didn't get injured, our current record would be 30-9. That's good enough for seed #3 right now, only one game behind Portland. IIRC, we only got blown out in one or two games this season, with or without Kawhi. We just haven't had him, Patty, Tony all together at once yet. We had a brutal december schedule.

This team right now isn't playing great, but it's not playing horrible either. When Kawhi was around, our defense was great, but our offense was crap. Now our offense isn't bad, but our defense is lacking. Without our top 5-6 guys healthy, we're not going to win anything, that much is clear. But so far, there's no season ending injuries, so there's nothing to panic about right now.

Stop making so much sense, can't you see we're trying to panic here?

[SnakeBoy]

it's not one or two guys for us, we need our top 4-5 guys healthy and playing... Kawhi happens to be one of them...

Well that's better than saying Kawhi fixes everything. Kawhi is needed for a chance at repeating but even with a healthy Kawhi we're doomed if we keep having to play musical chairs with our lineup. First things first, let's get healthy enough to keep Daye & Ayres off of the fucking court. Then worry about Kawhi's return.

Well, the idea that Kawhi will fix everything is in addition to our current (healthy) roster. Then we'll need to rest some guys here and there, and of course Kawhi and some other guys will need to re-gain game shape... I just think Kiwi fixes a lot of the deficiencies we had in last night's games (rebounding especially).

Complain all you want to about the TP contract, but at least we're not the Thunder throwing $4mm a year (for two years) at Nick Collison. Makes Bonner at the minimum this time around much easier to chew on.

For a team like the Thunder trying to desperately to stay under the tax, this doesn't seem like a way to do it. A couple of years ago, I wouldn't have batted an eye at this contract but he's 34 now and has regressed significantly.

[ElNono]

$4m is chump change, and I would take Collison over Matty any day of the week. Not sure what that has to do with handing a 3 year/$42m deal to TP?

""Question: What kind of season do you see Kawhi Leonard having next season? Also, where do you see him in five years?
GP: I think he’s going to be a star. And as time goes on, he’ll be the face of the Spurs I think. At both ends of the court, he is really a special player. And what makes me be so confident about him is that he wants it so badly. He wants to be a good player, I mean a great player. He comes early, he stays late, and he’s coachable, he’s just like a sponge. When you consider he’s only had one year of college and no training camp yet, you can see that he’s going to be something else."" slammagazine interviewing pop after 2012 loss to okc

One of the best things Kawhi gives us is the flexibility and utility on defense to give other teams fits. Danny Green is great at shutting guards down, but he's not nearly as good at containing larger players. With Danny at the 2 and Kawhi at the 3, we can shut down just about any wing combo in the league. It makes Pop's bizarre rotations look a lot more intelligent as well. :hat

San Antonio played 17 games in December and January without Leonard, who was out with an injury to one of his massive hands. The Spurs were 8-9 in those games, and are 15-7 since Leonard returned. That, on the other hand, is no fluke.

Looking back, it is bleeping incredible how much luck is involved in winning. I mean, holy cow, can you imagine if HOU snags Kawhi at 14?

Or someone like CHA takes him. The fact he got to SA and didn't end up somewhere else directly impacted that NBA more than almost any other move. Incredible.

Crazy draft, tbqh.

Spurs picked Cory Joseph with the 29th pick, and the pick after was Jimmy Butler... Also could've had Chandler Parsons or Isiah Thomas

He'll keep getting better, tbh.... not worried about Kawhi... :hat

I don't think Kawhi can fix Pop coaching decisions... 2015 Pop is not looking good...
:depressed

[therealtruth]

Kawhi got knocked to the ground. Blatant foul but they never call that. I don't know why Pop couldn't have gone with a Patty or Marco 3. Let's see. Go with a near impossible play or get a shot at the basket. Tough decision. It might take a coach of the century to figure that out.
