Raptors also had a 44 point third quarter after everyone was losing their minds over the Spurs getting 46 in the third against Boston.
If Kawhi can wipe his ass with Jumping Joe Ingles, Jae Crowder, and the big help of Gobert and Favors then he's really going to have a great opportunity to squat all over DDR and Cunningham and the Spurs bigs. Rudy might want to let his wrist keep him out, save the potential embarrassment.

Going to be a fun game, Kawhi has been back to his 2017 level(on offense) since his mediocre start to the season..he's been getting a nice whistle since Nurse complained about it, as well..
Spurs have a great shot at winning the game with Lowry out, though..Raptors have been vulnerable against skilled bigs since JV went out, as well, Aldridge needs to dominate Ibaka..
Bench unit should be able to eat well against the Raptors' struggling unit..

1. Can't blame LMA solely for that series since Kawhi had games in which he also disappeared in that series in 2016. It was pretty bad that Roberson was talking shit about shutting him down throughout the series.
2. Spurs had more than enough talent to win a title with Kawhi. They would have won in '17 had Zaza not done what he did.
3. He left simply because of his uncle which will be the reason why he leaves the Craptors this upcoming summer.

Still can't believe people in this forum defend this guy. This guy wanted out way before the players only meeting. He was cleared to play and should've played. He didn't want to. He was creating problems in the locker room. The Spurs then were about to trade him to Boston, but backed out in hopes to see if he would want to play again for the Spurs. He checked out. Why would the Celtics want to trade for Kawhi if he was injured?
He wasn't. Spurs knew this and were very close to sending him to Boston, which is why I jumped the gun announcing he was going to be traded. Spurs backed off and put up with his childish ways because they knew what they had in Kawhi. They even had hopes during the entire off season that they could convince him to stay. He didn't want any of it and so the Spurs granted his request and traded him.
Simple as that. Why is that hard to accept for some of you?

It was for the best that Parker left. Let's be real you would be mad as hell if Parker stayed considering he would have taken minutes away from White. I have no problems with Parker calling out Kawhi. Kawhi was faking injury and safe to say the rest of the team knew about it.

I got a question did the Spurs have a chance to get both Tatum and Brown for Kawhi or was it just Tatum for Kawhi? I thought the biggest mistake the Spurs made is not getting Tatum when they had the opportunity to get him.

I don't know if you think I'm one of the people who 'defends' Kawhi. But in case you do, you can go over my post history and see it consistently: I think Kawhi is a scumbag and hope the worst for him. I wanted him forcibly sat for this season instead of getting DDR and Poeltl. Screw Kawhi. BUT I never fell for the whole 'injured' schtick and knew there was no way the Spurs were winning any trade, and it was more or less the end of contention. I knew every team that didn't put out a better offer were stupid and would regret it because Kawhi is a faking piece of trash superstar.
He averaged 4 steals a game in his last 3 Spurs games and was still their advanced stats leader easily despite being rusty from sitting most of the year and missing camp. He wasn't falling apart. What kind of injury doesn't require surgery or any intervention that isn't something strange like clots or desert fever or something like that? The fake kind, or the exaggerated kind.
BUT it doesn't mean that the Spurs weren't in the wrong for playing hide-the-superMax-offer before things got publicly bad. "Oh, we don't know if we can pay the SuperMax, he does have this thigh issue, tee-hee! We don't know, we're so coy, tee-hee!" Just dumb. Just make it clear you're paying the guy that makes you the contender. Oh, he might not be worth it in years 4 and 5, so what? The fact that it's still not clear if they ever offered the SuperMax at all is irksome.
The idea that the Spurs might have been trying to be clever and moneyball the negotiations with an MVP candidate and top-5 player is headache-inducing. You don't moneyball the superstar, you moneyball to find advantages in the market for effectively surrounding the superstars with the best spent money and assets on roleplayers. Moneyball on contracts to find the Forbes who can fill the Mills role at 1/4 the cost and still pay the superstar.

Wha t people fail to realize is that we would have one that series easily if Kawhi didn't get dunked by KD in the second half of game 4. His nut huggers will say "he wasn't in his prime yet" dude played just a big a role as LA in losing that series.
Nothing at all easy about that series. Adams outplayed Duncan, Durant outplayed Kawhi, WB outplayed Parker, Waiters outplayed Ginobili, LMA shrank, Roberson Barnes'd Kawhi, Kanter couldn't be stopped, etc. The Spurs were in it for a while but ended up thoroughly dominated.

You're lying he did not go toe to toe with KD in 14 stop it. Old man Duncan is the only reason we won that series. Last time I checked Kawhi couldn't couldn't throw the ball in the hoop in the second half of game 6.
:lmao you're a fucking idiot bro. And Kawhi still held his own. As I said, Duncan wouldn't have been in that position without Kawhi in the first place so yeah, Kawhi deserves credit.

I got a question did the Spurs have a chance to get both Tatum and Brown for Kawhi or was it just Tatum for Kawhi? I thought the biggest mistake the Spurs made is not getting Tatum when they had the opportunity to get him.
I can't say for sure TBH. I know one of those two was offered. Not sure both.

Thats fantasy league.
Its easy to put others in a position of greatness while taking away the success from the guy who made it.
KL is not even top 5 in scoring.
KL cant play a full season, so I find very unlikeable to sustain 4 seasons to the Finals with him at charge, even at fantasy levels.
KL joined a 60 win team, so its nice to imagine he could take a 20 win team to June, specially when he is not a leader...

Top 5? what are you drinking? I want some.
He had one great season with Spurs and we are almost half this and that makes him all time history?
Curry had 2 miracle seasons, Lillard, Harden I guess everybody needs the all time statue.
I said scoring efficiency, not scoring volume. Not sure what you meant by one great season. He was two time DPOY, three times all defensive first team and two time all NBA first team. He and Kevin Durant are the best two-way players in the NBA.
What's really funny is the amount of people who are tearing into Kawhi for his lack of assists are some of the same posters that were immortalizing him for his playing style when he was still playing for the Spurs.

I don't know if you think I'm one of the people who 'defends' Kawhi. But in case you do, you can go over my post history and see it consistently: I think Kawhi is a scumbag and hope the worst for him. I wanted him forcibly sat for this season instead of getting DDR and Poeltl. Screw Kawhi. BUT I never fell for the whole 'injured' schtick and knew there was no way the Spurs were winning any trade, and it was more or less the end of contention. I knew every team that didn't put out a better offer were stupid and would regret it because Kawhi is a faking piece of trash superstar.
He averaged 4 steals a game in his last 3 Spurs games and was still their advanced stats leader easily despite being rusty from sitting most of the year and missing camp. He wasn't falling apart. What kind of injury doesn't require surgery or any intervention that isn't something strange like clots or desert fever or something like that? The fake kind, or the exaggerated kind.
BUT it doesn't mean that the Spurs weren't in the wrong for playing hide-the-superMax-offer before things got publicly bad. "Oh, we don't know if we can pay the SuperMax, he does have this thigh issue, tee-hee! We don't know, we're so coy, tee-hee!" Just dumb. Just make it clear you're paying the guy that makes you the contender. Oh, he might not be worth it in years 4 and 5, so what? The fact that it's still not clear if they ever offered the SuperMax at all is irksome.
The idea that the Spurs might have been trying to be clever and moneyball the negotiations with an MVP candidate and top-5 player is headache-inducing. You don't moneyball the superstar, you moneyball to find advantages in the market for effectively surrounding the superstars with the best spent money and assets on roleplayers. Moneyball on contracts to find the Forbes who can fill the Mills role at 1/4 the cost and still pay the superstar.
Nah. Talking about the usual suspects and trolls.
If you're the Spurs and have a MVP candidate like Kawhi Leonard on your squad, you offer the max. No doubt. However, the guy was becoming an issue in the locker room and so do you really want to offer that kind of money to that type of character? I do know for sure that the max was always considered. Not 100% sure it was offered.
Bottom line is he didn't want to play here for whatever reason and screwed the Spurs over. That whole thing about him being injured was exaggerated.

To have efficiency measured you have to play a full season, not every time your tummy feels fine, thats not All Time material.
DPOY has nothing to do with scoring.
KD has like 4 scoring titles, how many KL has?

You said Kawhi had one great season. You don't have to win scoring titles to have a great season.

Most Spurs fans acknowledge that he is a great player and one of the very best in the league.

No, I agree and he would also have needed to stay here until he was 38 or so to account for low counting stats in his first three seasons. I'm just saying he could've edged MJ due to his outside shooting-if everything else held the same.

That's unfair to compare Dirk to Webber. He had one of the best playoff runs ever in 2011. There were no other all-stars on that team and he lead them to the championship. He's also one of only 4 players to average 25 pt/10 rb in the playoffs for his career.

I think Rudy looked good against LeBron. Probably will need to play Gay/Dante to match the Kawhi/Siakam combo, tbh.
If Pop gives Kawhi the double team treatment, which I think it's the way to go, it doesn't matter much who Kawhi's main defender is. In that case you can even give DeRozan the assignment. He might put extra effort on that end if he's given that responsability.

Who said anything about GOAT? :lol
You don't think there's a case for that? Kawhi increases his assists (counting) to MJ/Kobe levels (in less minutes too). And given he's a much better shooter from range than MJ ever was then if he had stayed with us for another 10-12 years while winning 3-4 more championships and maintaining his stats then there's a case for him being the GOAT?
Not that it matters. He hasn't increased his assists this year and during the summer of 2017 when he was supposedly working on adding in playmaking as the final ingredient he and his went to China and everything went downhill.

You said Kawhi had one great season. You don't have to win scoring titles to have a great season. It also doesn't help to have a head coach who suppresses offensive statistics by pulling players out of games early so they stay under the radar and garner less attention longer. That's what a control freak like Pop does.
Is not like that, he has some problem on those wheels thats why Pop made him eat bench.
Now in Toronto plays 1 game and the next gets some DNP.

When he was playing for the Spurs, many Spurstalk goonies including probably YOURSELF were saying Kawhi still deserved to be co-FMVP at worst because of his shutdown defense on Lebron. I've always said Duncan deserved MVP. My narrative didn't change because Kawhi changed teams.

He knows how to pass, let's not pretend Harden doesn't play in a system that pats his passing stats. It's part of the Dantoni system. And Giannis doesn't belong in the conversation, neither does harden. Neither of those guys have even sniffed a finals.

You know, you kind of do have some points there. Although his assists and playmaking abilities would have to go way up for him to be in the conversation. It'll never happen though, especially if he goes to the lame ass clippers. People forget MJ was 28 when he won his first title. The chances of Kawhi having a 3 pete are slim to none though so yeah, he'll never be in the goat conversation. :lol

Most Spurs fans acknowledge that he is a great player and one of the very best in the league. What rightfully bothers us was his behavior, deception, and selfishness towards a franchise that groomed him to be the face of the franchise. And objectively, we can question his heart especially when considering he's still avoiding back to backs.
This.
Kawhi suckers blow their load management every time he has a great game and like to act like PATFO let him go. And point to Spurs fans and do some “I told you so” dance. He didn’t wanna be here. He faked an injury and sat out to force his way out. THATS why we hate him. The fact that he’s playing great only adds solidity to the argument that he was able to play all along.
Plus, he’s still pulling the bulls shit by sitting out games. He obviously isn’t hurt so why sit out? Toronto fans are being played with just the same. The only reason he has some bullshit “load management” is bc he’s preserving himself for LA. Fuck Kawhitter. Even if Raps win on Thursday he’ll always be a bitch.

I'm pretty sure we've all acknowledged that Kawhi bitched out. He definitely acted like a coward regarding his last days with the Spurs. He should've manned up and let his teammates and coaches know what the problem was and that he wanted out. Hiding like a bitch definitely made things worse.
If Pop gives Kawhi the double team treatment, which I think it's the way to go, it doesn't matter much who Kawhi's main defender is. In that case you can even give DeRozan the assignment. He might put extra effort on that end if he's given that responsability.
Just slide a foot under him after a jumpshot.
Kawhi's strong suit is his defense. He needs to fall back on that, and his coach needs to remember that's his strong suit and not try to turn him into James Harden. He doesn't have great court awareness, but he can get to the rim and get his own shot. He has never been a great team player even though he's contributed a great deal. The league has a lot of guys who can get 45 points in a game, but to have 1 assist in the process is something along the lines of a Carmelo Anthony.

Kawhi is obviously a great player. Anybody saying otherwise is just bitter or trolling. But he also does have real faults to his game as of now. His passing his subpar which fits with the fact that he's not a playmaker for his teammates. But the dude played PF and Center growing up. He's never going to be a point forward like Lebron. He's never going to average 6 assists a game. It's not his game. He doesn't have the feel or the know how for it and that's ok. But at the same time, that is a weakness that can be exploited. Will he set up his teammates against us or will he go Kawhiso? Also How much do Kawhi's teammates care about his revenge game? As far as I know only Danny Green really cares about it. Does he have the relationship with his team to get them hyped for this game? Idk the answer to that. But if we double team him all night and don't let Danny have any space, I like our chances against the Raptors. I'm more afraid of Ibaka and Danny tbh bc Ibaka always hits against us and Danny is probably salty. Kawhi is playing this year for Kawhi and that's just part of the territory for having a breakup with a franchise. We sent him to fucking Siberia. He isn't happy there and he doesn't see his girl and his son all the time either. He wants out. He has to wait a year to get what he wants and we are the reason why.

Before that Kawhi stated how he loves how Nick Nurse puts in positions to succeed be more free & take advantage of mismatches, Pop then responded how he loves to coach DDR because he's a grown man or something along those lines IIRC.
Edit: these were really the subtle shots before the not so subtle shots recently.

I hate Kawhi, but there's nothing wrong with his passing skills. He's a very good playmaker for others and could rack up much more assists if he wanted to.
If he wanted to.
But he never has. He's just so efficient and effective that he probably thinks he might as well take the shots, the points will count the same. And I think he's right. He could have passed to Aldridge in the pick-and-roll so much more than he did, because Aldridge was open and available for the mid-range so much more than his shot attempts logged. But Kawhi didn't want to pass to Aldridge that much and took the shots even when doubled and still made his shots.
And it never bothered me because he still won so many defensive possessions. As long as he was defending, I didn't mind if he ignored open teammates because the team was still scoring. Maybe it irked his teammates, maybe it didn't serve them well as far as getting into a rhythm, but if they really wanted more shots they could win defensive possessions and generate takeaways and get their shots that way.
Kawhi is a perfectly fine passer, he's just chilling getting his.

He was shooting 16/22 so he probably didn't need to pass alot. But granted once he learns how to use the defense's attention to him to create easy opportunities for his team that will take his game to another level.
He can still develop it. Durant for his first few seasons was probably an even worse passer but now he averages 5+ assists easily.

To collect 18 million for running around with a faggot posse and working out in secret and hiding from the team paying you 18 million and not having the decency to even support your team on the bench at playoff games is unforgiveable.

All Kawhi had to do was play out his contract and then just choose another team as a free agent. It would have still sucked to lose a great player but it would have been understood and respected that he honored his contract and just chose to play elsewhere.
To collect 18 million for running around with a faggot posse and working out in secret and hiding from the team paying you 18 million and not having the decency to even support your team on the bench at playoff games is unforgiveable.
I have zero respect for this piece of shit. Sure, he is a great player but I see zero character and honor in him and will be shocked if he rings again - although who knows - this is the new NBA where faggotness seems to be the norm now.
Hmm, classy..

yeah - might have been uncalled for -
however -
I was mainly thinking of Durant's lameness and his gs warriors move which was a betrayal to his OKC mates -
he was excoriated here for that but AT LEAST Durant played out his contract before backstabbing his mates
Kawhi didn't even have the decency to match Durant's faggotness - kawhi EXCEEDED Durants faggotness IMO and deserves the slur!

Faggot doesn't mean gay. Faggot means faggot. Stop fagging it up and embrace the word.

:lmao At this continuing narrative that he "brought the Spurs a championship". 4 time champions, coming off the co-best record in the league when they traded for his draft rights and a role player during the run, but somehow we're all supposed to bow down and treat him like he's James and the Spurs were the Cavaliers before his arrival. He's luckier that he got to be a Spur than vice versa.
Coaching team USA is merely symbolic. It's also temporary. No one is going to pull out or try less if Pop speaks the truth.
I knew they would, but why are they taking the high road? No star is coming here anyway, so they might as well let the public know what really happened, instead of continuing to let their well earned reputation take a beating.
If they have the gall to show a video tribute to that puke (Green is a different story), the fans should boo them vociferously.

Booing is expected, but it would be much more satisfying for the fans if the team doesn't give him a tribute IMO..the Raptors didn't when Carter returned, for example(LeBron and Durant leaving their respective teams isn't comparable, as both were Free Agents)..giving Danny a video, but not doing the same for Kawhi is the best-case scenario for the fans..I just can't see them going down that road, though..
I expect them to give a tribute..this is the same organization that gave Kobe a tribute with Pop and Parker all over his dick, calling him the Jordan of his generation:lol

If they have any sense, they'll worry less about trying to uphold their reputation and more about their paying customers and not being tone deaf to their fan base in general.
It won't happen, but there wouldn't be a damn thing wrong with only showing Green's tribute video.

Yeah I agree but I do wonder if the average casual fans know the shit Kawhi pulled. I’m not from SA nor Texas so I have no idea what the people of SA think of him. Maybe everyone will cheer for him who knows lol

Boos throughout the entirety of the video would be nice. The organization seems "greatful" while the fans let the real opinion of San Antonio be heard.
Problem is the video will probably be a joint one for Danny and Kawhi, tbh.

I think Danny Green is probably the reason they are doing a video tribute for Kawhi. If it were only Kawhi who was traded then I'm not sure he gets that tribute video.

Agreed, Pop’s leadership comments were surprising
Really nervous about Thursday’s game, fortunately Raptors have been in a funk but Kawhi can single handedly beat us.
Oh stop it. Those weren't shots. Evidently, you guys don't know what shots are. He could have scalped him had he wanted.

Lol, no doubt. Raptor fan on Twitter has been convinced he's staying. I've been trying to let them know not to get their hopes up. But those poor basketball championship starved hosers are blinded to the Kawhrisis coming their way...or should I say going away from them.

Of course Pop truly cares about Kawhi. Pop is a grown man, and he has sense, decency, honesty, and integrity.
Pop is not at all like the childish, insane, howling, terminally butt-hurt shit heads who use this forum to squeal. And thank goodness he is not. No grown man is like that.

That’s like truly caring for a spouse that cheats on you with a family member. It was not reciprocated which is why it’s surprising.
