[Budkin]

U clearly didn't watch the game... Kawhi made two clutch baskets with under a minute left... It's everyone else around him that choked... Check the raptors board... They'll tell you the same

Yeah I just saw he missed a 3 with a little over a minute left that would have given them the lead. Didn’t watch.

[BillMc]

And the fucking retard still wanted to leave. Ingrate ass motherfucker...the Big 3 is the main reason why his win percentage is so high.

Amen

Actually a pretty good supporting cast when you factor in they won 47 games without their superstar. Not many teams outside of the Warriors would win that many games if their superstar decides not to play for a whole entire year.

Is not that he sucks, but he is not Lebron and will never be, is not even a leader, how can a mute lead a team?

Had his fair share of success in SA, but he is not the reason why Spurs won in 2014, the whole team was a killer and he had space to move, where was he the next season when Clippers took them out in the first round? where was the MVP?

Where was he when Spurs were losing lots of stupid RS games, specially vs the Pellicans?
55 games in 2015, you think Lebron would have the same record in SA with that squad in that particular season?

[gospursgojas]

Kawhi taking a wet fat shit on PATFO and their fluffers :lmao

How? Everyone knew he was this good. He faked an injury and quit at the request of his keeper tho.

[daslicer]

Still counts as part of the supporting caste no way you want to spin it. Spurs had LMA playing at an all-nba level the last few years until this year plus they had good wing defenders in Green,Kyle,Dejounte. Sounds like a good supporting caste to me. How many superstars get to play with another All-NBA player. I don't believe in the revisionist history people are trying to pull out of their asses in here. This current Spurs team isn't even the same team from last year.

LMA was not at an all-nba level in 2016/17. He was actually atrocious (especially in the playoffs) for his level of talent/ability, even Pop called him out.

[Kurgan]

Wonder how much it stings Pop/Buford to see Kawhi/Danny playing so well. Meanwhile, Defrozen lives up to his rep as a fake all-star and Poetl is still "developing".

[bic50]

Defense still isn't where it was, probably won't get there, but doesn't really matter for them..
I think his defense will comeback also at some point. Almost everything else has as the season progresses

[Kurgan]

LMA was not at an all-nba level in 2016/17. He was actually atrocious (especially in the playoffs) for his level of talent/ability, even Pop called him out.

And then he asked to be traded. Pop stopped criticizing LMA ever since. Acquiesced to all of his demands and ended up losing Kawhi in the process.

[daslicer]

LMA was not at an all-nba level in 2016/17. He was actually atrocious (especially in the playoffs) for his level of talent/ability, even Pop called him out.

In 2016 he was an all NBA player. In 2017 he was putting up similar numbers to his 2016 season. In 2018 he was an all-nba player. So 2 out of the 3 seasons he was an all-nba player and the 1 season he wasn't he put similar numbers to the ones he put up in '16. Like I said before there is too much revisionist history going on in here. It's rare a team win's 60 plus wins in the nba without having a good amount of talent and depth. The only time I have seen a team win 60 and not be stacked was the '03 Spurs and that was due to Duncan having an MVP season.

I'm talking about the 2016/17 season. That was not an all-nba level season, it was comparable to this season. It would have been fine if he was a 3rd option but not a 2nd. His post-season performance (which I guess stands out most) that season was even worse. Lowest PER since his 4th season, compared to last season when it was the highest of his career.

They still won 60 games with LMA in the '16-'17 season. I don't think they would have won 60 games if LMA did not play that season. So again I just don't buy into that bs that Kawhi did not have any help. He had good teams in '16,'17, and last year's team wins around 57-60 if he decided to play.

The only thing I said was last year's team wouldn't have won 47 games if LMA played like he did in the 16/17 season instead of having his best season. IMO that would have been a lottery team. Kawhi had help but it was inconsistent help. LMA was good in 15/16, not as much in 16/17. Obviously the big 3 would have their occasional great game. Then there were guys like Lee, Simmons, Dedmon etc. that would have their games. The supporting cast of this year's team is better on the offensive end but pretty bad defensively, which is probably the biggest difference.

[Robz4000]

Just reinforces the fact Nephew quit on the Spurs last year.

After MJ, Lebron is the best player in NBA history. So Kawhi's not in that level? WHO CARES since no one other player could match it for decades.

But Kawhi is a legit top 3-5 player. If you don't get how great/important this is...I can't help.

Kawhi was 23 years old in 2015 vs Pels vs Clippers... I have to remember you how many bad playoffs games LeBron had at the same age??? :lol

[YGWHI]

No, Kawhi doesn't suck. Neither does the Raptors supporting cast, as you are trying to sell.

[steak n eggs]

I was annoyed with him at first with what happened last year but with the way he’s playing, I’m starting to think the Spurs really shit the bed somewhere along the way. He just seems too low key and driven to just play to have caused so much turmoil.

Truth bomb. And that's been my line of thinking all along. Although I think it was more of one person rather than the entire coaching staff. If kawhi felt that they took the other persons side instead of come to his defense then that's all it took for him to want out.

[SpurSpike]

Na, he just wanted to play closer to home. I really feel that is the reason he left, and his uncle did everything he could to try to make it happen but it didn't go the way they wanted (hence the fractured relationship with the spurs) and he ended up in Toronto for a year. He will be in California next year.

This exact team with DeRozan and Poeltl (and a rookie Siakam), instead of Kawhi and Green (and a future all-star Siakam) won 60 games last season. Anyone trying to say that this Raptors' supporting cast is garbage is a monumental faggot that would like to lick Kawhi's balls.

If you want to take it further, they carried derozan's Kobe like empty stats.

[Harry Callahan]

Statistics don't change the fact that Nephew (and his "group") quit on the Spurs Organization, his teammates, the season ticket holders, the fan base in general. He goldbricked an entire season with the idea he would be in LA this year. That got delayed.

I don't think this guy was seriously injured at all. If Pop could no longer trust Nephew after he stole $18MM from the Spurs last year, it would be very difficult to reward that behavior with over $200MM. The Spurs got 2 years of service on what was essentially a 4 year $75MM contract.

This year is really proving that Nephew and his handlers are Grifters and liars to the core. Nephew could average 50 points a game this year - he is still a rotten human being based on his actions last year - PERIOD. The production simply does not matter when you are trying to determine a person's integrity and character (or lack thereof). I am certain Nephew would have not shown up for camp if SA tried to retain the services they contractually agreed to in 2015.

Notice that Philadelphia's Medical Staff (yes the one Nephew shopped for) blew it on Fultz's shoulder injury for over a year. Imagine that. Perhaps that doctor "misdiagnosed" other things as well.

Nephew has a chronic knee issue that is nothing more than pain management. He will have some kind of physical problem again this year at some point and he will protect himself again. Just be ready for it Great White North. In the end, he will turn his back on you and disappoint you too.

Character is overrated. Look at Dennis Rodman, Draymond, hell the 1980s pistons. I want championships. Should have signed him to the max and worked it out.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Odds of him staying in Toronto, in spite of the success they're having? I'd say less than 5%. The only way he stays is if they win the title and even then it's not a guarantee. All these Toronto fans who are embracing him will be joining hands with Spurs fans to sing the Kawhi blues next summer.

With some of Durant's recent comments about free agency, and those comments being somewhat negative towards Lebron, I wouldn't be surprised to see him and Kawhi landing with the Clippers next season.

[Hoops Czar]

If you want to take it further, they carried derozan's Kobe like empty stats.
Truthbomb. Ever since Kyle Anderson took his talents to Memphis, you seem to be posting with a much clearer head.

[Harry Callahan]

Character is overrated. Look at Dennis Rodman, Draymond, hell the 1980s pistons. I want championships. Should have signed him to the max and worked it out.

I hope you are joking by bringing up Rodman. You do remember the Spurs had a Western Conference Finals team that Rodman sabotaged in 1995 - a team that actually had a realistic chance to win the NBA finals? Geez, some people on this site are really not that sharp sometimes.

If Nephew already quit on you when he received lifetime financial security from the contract you agreed to, what guaranty do you have he won't pull the same crap again with a Max Contract. The agent change to the football guy that works out his truck in 2016 was the beginning of the end. Money cannot always buy loyalty or create character. The Spurs did not trust this guy anymore after last year.

Just because someone isn’t Tim Duncan or David Robinson doesn’t mean they can’t be reached. Phil Jackson worked with Dennis Rodman and Ron Artest of all people and made them key contributors on championship teams. Good coaches and organizations don’t pussy out when working with difficult players—Kawhi being no exception.

The spurs didn’t trust Kawhi last year and guess what? Now they are below .500 and paying the price. Sometimes, you have to have the balls to take a risk on greatness.

You mean that french piece of shit Porker. Or could be just coincidence that Barry was brought on board too after Tony's leadership display

[Harry Callahan]

HWoodNixon,

You can't take a risk a greatness if someone does not want to play on your team. Does that make any sense?

A Supermax this summer would have been a horrible decision for the franchise. He has chronic knee issues and is very reluctant to play if he is not feeling "right".

If I had a crystal ball and knew you could get 4-5 good years out of Nephew, then the $200MM might have worked. Problem is, that contract affects all the other moves you make. This team could not win the Western Conference with KL and LMA along with a pretty good supporting cast prior to this year.

By the way, you do know that Rodman quit on the Spurs as well. Were you even born or following the Spurs in 1995? Probably not.

[Mikeanaro]

Lebron took his team to the Finals by that age, also he never had TD or Ginobili to cover his ass.

so kawhi was faking it when he played those 9 games? he was playing horribly on purpose, to the point where our own staff decided to shut him down (as many on ehre were saying they should do) because he was clearly injured? our doctors lied when they said they were in agreement with what the other doctors were showing them about kawhi's quad? THATS why kawhi left...ppl like u saying he is faking...i would leave too...im playing my ass off for old fucks who think im lying about an injury

[Spurs Homer]

Sad how many "fans" refuse to let the quitter go.

Not surprising in this country right now.

People are still supporting a traitor to his country as president.

Spurs "fans" still supporting a quitter who betrayed his team. A quitter who cried "I only want to play for L.A.!"

A MALINGERING traitor faggot mute.

But as long as he can play - you Spurs "fans" will be more than ready to support the guy who quit on a franchise, a city and its real fans.

Fuck Kawhi.

Don't expect fans to move on any time soon. Only cure to the butt hurt is the team succeeding and it doesn't look like that'll happen this year. Or if he does go to LA then it'll be the resignation that he'd go to LA regardless. If he stays in Toronto or goes to a non-LA team then the what ifs will continue.

[Mikeanaro]

thats who u have to compare him to...arguably the best player ever...lol...and lebron stunk in the finals
Lebron only stunk in game 1, his team mates were skunks and people forgets how close game 3 and 4 were.

Kawhi will never be at that level, he is good but not the reason why Toronto is having a good RS.

Truth bomb. And that's been my line of thinking all along. Although I think it was more of one person rather than the entire coaching staff. If kawhi felt that they took the other persons side instead of come to his defense then that's all it took for him to want out.
In other words: Porker ran him offPERIOD

I don’t think it has anything to do with medical staff/injury. Uncle Dennis simply said “Kawhi, we’re going back to LA no matter what.”

he’a either a Laker or Clippers next season

[spurs10]

Statistics don't change the fact that Nephew (and his "group") quit on the Spurs Organization, his teammates, the season ticket holders, the fan base in general. He goldbricked an entire season with the idea he would be in LA this year. That got delayed.

I don't think this guy was seriously injured at all. If Pop could no longer trust Nephew after he stole $18MM from the Spurs last year, it would be very difficult to reward that behavior with over $200MM. The Spurs got 2 years of service on what was essentially a 4 year $75MM contract.

This year is really proving that Nephew and his handlers are Grifters and liars to the core. Nephew could average 50 points a game this year - he is still a rotten human being based on his actions last year - PERIOD. The production simply does not matter when you are trying to determine a person's integrity and character (or lack thereof). I am certain Nephew would have not shown up for camp if SA tried to retain the services they contractually agreed to in 2015.

Notice that Philadelphia's Medical Staff (yes the one Nephew shopped for) blew it on Fultz's shoulder injury for over a year. Imagine that. Perhaps that doctor "misdiagnosed" other things as well.

Nephew has a chronic knee issue that is nothing more than pain management. He will have some kind of physical problem again this year at some point and he will protect himself again. Just be ready for it Great White North. In the end, he will turn his back on you and disappoint you too. Good post. I don't believe anyone cares if a player wants to go home or try something new. However taking $19 million to sit out an entire season and then demand a trade is another thing altogether, as it's trying to do as much damage to a team and its fans as possible.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

He isn't re-signing with the Raptors so all of these feel good stories about them will change after he leaves them. Im already envisoning the articles about him being coached by Doc. I still say the Raptors lose in the second round. But at least they will make the playoffs :lol

I guess it depends on how the rest of the season goes and how comfortable he feels in the organization. They certainly seem to be rolling out the red carpet and then some. I really don’t think he has any interest whatsoever in playing with LeBron James. But the clippers could be a different story.

[UZER]

Kawhi bitched out on the Spurs big time, and screw him for that. But watching him go off in Toronto after escaping Pops regime makes me feel like the ex-band mate on this vid at the 40 sec mark breaking a grin...

[bic50]

Lebron only stunk in game 1, his team mates were skunks and people forgets how close game 3 and 4 were.

Kawhi will never be at that level, he is good but not the reason why Toronto is having a good RS.
Kawhi isn't just "good " and the raptors aren't just having a good rs. More like the best start in franchise history. I think kl has a lot to do with that.

[bic50]

Sad how many "fans" refuse to let the quitter go.

Not surprising in this country right now.

People are still supporting a traitor to his country as president.

Spurs "fans" still supporting a quitter who betrayed his team. A quitter who cried "I only want to play for L.A.!"

A MALINGERING traitor faggot mute.

But as long as he can play - you Spurs "fans" will be more than ready to support the guy who quit on a franchise, a city and its real fans.

Fuck Kawhi.

They had their best season ever last year, and I bet they can win more than 60 games in that shitty conference.
Kawhi is good and thats it.

Add a little pressure to his stupid body and everything goes down.

this, although he is clearly the second best player in the world and I would not want to play with the current (or last season) roster if I were in its place his attitude was unacceptable, unfortunately we will never know of the version of Pop on the whole story (the only version that matters imo)

The raptors aren't playing for regular season wins... Without him they would be a decent eastern conference team... Not the best team in the league like they are now... But with him they're going down first round... Have u seen Kyle in the post season? Dude is like a deer in headlights... They need kawhi in the playoffs

How exactly have the raptors been rolling out the red carpet? I see them treating him no differently than how pop did

[dbreiden83080]

OK fine then maybe they don’t give a fuck about him and he is leaving. They made him the central focus of the offense and he can take plenty of time off when he needs it.

[daslicer]

Found this clip pretty intresting. Stephen A implies in this clip that Kawhi's injury was bs and that he doesn't really believe the Spurs could have done anything to keep Kawhi.
oa14uYuQ31g

[therealtruth]

Just because someone isn’t Tim Duncan or David Robinson doesn’t mean they can’t be reached. Phil Jackson worked with Dennis Rodman and Ron Artest of all people and made them key contributors on championship teams. Good coaches and organizations don’t pussy out when working with difficult players—Kawhi being no exception.

The spurs didn’t trust Kawhi last year and guess what? Now they are below .500 and paying the price. Sometimes, you have to have the balls to take a risk on greatness.

Pop can't handle players with ego's. He needs players who have gotten over themselves.

[Harry Callahan]

so kawhi was faking it when he played those 9 games? he was playing horribly on purpose, to the point where our own staff decided to shut him down (as many on ehre were saying they should do) because he was clearly injured? our doctors lied when they said they were in agreement with what the other doctors were showing them about kawhi's quad? THATS why kawhi left...ppl like u saying he is faking...i would leave too...im playing my ass off for old fucks who think im lying about an injury

Dude,
Nephew was under the care of his hand picked medical team since August. They cleared him along with the Spurs. He took another two months off after the half hearted "comeback" and shut it down for good with no explanation to the team or the organization - a CS move for sure. YOU did not have any of the medical information to even know what was going on. This "group" was (per the ESPN Beat reporter) hiding Nephew from Spurs medical personnel in New York when they were seeking a status update. I know you are an apologist for Nephew, so you are unable to be reasonable and clear on the situation. According to the same writer (M. Wright) the "group" was doctor shopping and found the Philly 76er doc - sounds like they are having issues with their players (Fultz). SA had Nephew on minutes restrictions and no back to backs and he still managed to get hurt with a shoulder injury in the middle of his "comeback" in December/ January.

The whole situation does not pass the common sense smell test from the actions of the Nephew and his "Group". IMHO, a group of liars, grifters, and fabricators. Sorry. 25 years of being conservative with its players injury wise outweighs one group of "Me-First" amateurs from New Jersey and California.

is it due to raptors offense now allowing kawhi to be first option where it stalls the overall offense of the team?

like when ppl said kawhis iso plays are stalling the spurs team offense cause his ball over dribbling in the midrange looking for a better shot while everyone is just standing around...

lol siakam is overrated as hell, all his pts are rushing to the key for easy layup or rush and stop pullup weakass attempt, seems like he doesnt shoot at all

#2 was never going to stay with the Spurs in any situation whether it be Pop not being the coach or the Spurs creating a superteam. The only scenario where #2 remains a Spur is if they became the LA Spurs.

[gambit1990]

TOR can play as sloppy as anyone at times offensively and yet, they’re 11-1. they have room to grow AND aren’t even using kawhi as much as the spurs were.
their offense is still sloppy at times. they still have the best record in the league though.

kawhi on t he current spurs or even the spurs last 2 years roster? he will get his production anytime he wants, its the other faggots on the team he has to play with who are inefficient chuckers or chucking at the wrong time wasting possessions...

nah.. i think had they given him the super or max, get rid of lma, parker, ginoboli, pau or fkn vets... have kawhi first option on offense? he wouldve stayed...

ps. patty kent needs to go, fck whatever culture that pos brings...

[apalisoc_9]

If the raps cant get a second star they need to find a microwave player to help take pressure off leonard. Kawhi barely gets any offball shots.

Lou Williams would have been perfect for this team.

Uncle believed Nike was going to give #2 a Lebron type of deal which would make up for not getting the Supermax. Also factor in the endorsements that #2's Uncle believed would be flowing in if he played in LA.

#2 was the first option on the Spurs for the last 3 years up until he decided not to play and would have been had he decided to stay. Like I said before # 2 would not even play for the Spurs even if they created a Superteam since they are not in LA.

[Popabitch]

where was he the next season when Clippers took them out in the first round? where was the MVP?


where was tony in that series? he was up against a 1leg fkn cp3 and he fkn choked or laying on the floor getting beat every possession, dont forget the over dribbling stalling the teams offense then passing it out for some bailout miracle shot...

kawhi up against the cuck barnes who trains with him every summer probably knows his skillset too well, yet there should be no excuse to be shutdown, but then again we should look at how many fga did he had compared to the other players on the team, was he first option? or down the pecking order behind other players on t he team who have the green light to chuck...

that year was bullshit, seems like the spurs didnt wanna defend their title, just happy they won the previous year and took the year off, t hen all of a sudden they started to be serious again the following 2 seasons, what for?

[Popabitch]

Lowry was playing great earlier in the season while Kawhi was struggling, to be fair..

They need Bradley Beal. If I'm Raptors GM, I do whatever it takes to get him. If that doesn't work, Kyle Lowry for John Wall straight up or some shit:lol

Beal would be nice. He's young but the raptors do play well as a committee. They need tp find a star that can allow that committe to continue flouroshing and Beal is a big question mark in that end.

If Im the raptors and Beal is not available, wait till february and hope the rockets are struggling. Trade JV+ Second round pick for Eric Gordon. Val is going to opt out of his contract if he gets traded anyway so its a decent way to offload salary.

Norman Powell was atrocious last year but hes played well before the injur and is really the only guy beside kawhi that can attack the rim.

[SpurPadre]

Giannis AnteCookooForCocoaPuffs is gonna make Kawhi his bitch on Sunday, tbh.

[apalisoc_9]

Masai really needs to make a trade though. They cant pass this opportunity. The warriors probably win again but its clear they have mental fatigue at this point.

You just have to everything you can to give this team a better chance specially when you Leonard playing like the 2nd best player in the world and Siakam turning into an all-star value player.

[Popabitch]

Giannis AnteCookooForCocoaPuffs is gonna make Kawhi his bitch on Sunday, tbh.

Leave Porker alone, I made like 5k posts explaining how bad he was to the team.
Yet that was no problem to beat the Heat, so why would be against the Clips and Tom Jr Rivers?

Reigning FMVP should be the primary weapon, and it was
Game 1 = KL 12 TD 10 TP 11 KL 7/12

Game 2 = KL 16 TD 23 TP 6 KL 9/16

Game 3 = KL 18 TD 13 TP 11 KL13/18

Game 4 = KL 19 TD 13 TP 15 KL10/19

Game 5 = KL 16 TD 13 TP 15 KL 5/16

Game 6 = KL 15 TD 9 TP 12 KL 6/15

Game 7 = KL 13 TD 16 TP 21 and Porker had better % in the elimination game

I would say he chucked, after game 4 his special boy diapers got full of hot brown rain.

Is not like they chucked, Duncan and Ginobili were geriatric and they young ones got lazy and thats on KL.
After winning the FMVP, instead of getting motivation he kept playing the super role part.
His last season in SA was the only marvelous one, before uncle dennis pulled the strings.
Remember there were lots of discussions here because KL could not get past the 20 points very often.

[apalisoc_9]

At worse case, sign someone like Jeremy Lin :lol.

If they cant get a star, they need to atleast aim for a microwave guy.

Delon Wright + CJ Miles for Gordon

The team can still use JV as a secondary scorer against certain matchups but Delon just seems to be a guy that gets lost in the shuffle & is most likely not going to be re-signed so might as well ship him out.

I think the rockets will try to maximize salary dumping in feb. With this trade, they only shed 5 million since CJ contract is 2 years with a player option. The raptors wont be the only team calling for Gordon in feb.

Bit this is a better offer than my inital offer. Maybe they can throw in a pick to improve it.

Van Shit & Powell for Fournier could also work if the Magic are desperate for a PG. This would also allow Delon to play on the ball more than he does now & eliminate the Lowly/Van Shit midget ball.

Van Shit & Powell for Fournier could also work if the Magic are desperate for a PG. This would also allow Delon to play on the ball more than he does now & eliminate the Lowly/Van Shit midget ball.

Surprisingly, id wait for Powell to get healthy :lol. If you can try to trade other players you do it. Powell can drive to the basket..only other guy not named Leonard who can. Just as a precaution if they fail to reach a deal with anyone.

[Popabitch]

Porker blew the most important possession of the game which was the fastbreak opportunity after Kawhi put up the Spurs up 3. Dude decided to hog the ball & went for a contested layup which led to a Barnes 3 pointer (5 point swing) when it could have been a 2 possession game that would have taken the sail out of the Cripples. He followed it up by getting rejected by ReDick on another fastbreak opportunity only to be bailed out by Diaw who tipped out the rebound (Porker got a cheap put back right at the rim with nobody in his vicinity as he wasn't being guarded all game long:lol).

Kawhi Leonard is a spectacle even when the Raptors lose (https://www.yahoo.com/sports/russell-turns-heat-ot-nets-surprise-raptors-043349861--nba.html)

Even in a losing effort Kawhi Leonard stole the damn show.
The Toronto Raptors stud went off on one of his tangents again, dumping on the stats sheet from all angles with 32 points, 3 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks in a one-point overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

He had 48 minutes to play a good game 6 too and he went 5/16.

It's a win win for me if he sits. If he sits it shows his insecurities and takes away any bragging rights that fanboys like you would have had if he played and won against the Spurs. If he plays he gets to be ridiculed by the fans. Also Spurs vs Lakers is currently our championship game. We already won the series this year.

He won't sit I'm thinking. When fans in NY are heckling you it says a lot about who you are and what people in general think about you. I doubt many fans think he's a class act.

[Harry Callahan]

where was tony in that series? he was up against a 1leg fkn cp3 and he fkn choked or laying on the floor getting beat every possession, dont forget the over dribbling stalling the teams offense then passing it out for some bailout miracle shot...

kawhi up against the cuck barnes who trains with him every summer probably knows his skillset too well, yet there should be no excuse to be shutdown, but then again we should look at how many fga did he had compared to the other players on the team, was he first option? or down the pecking order behind other players on t he team who have the green light to chuck...

that year was bullshit, seems like the spurs didnt wanna defend their title, just happy they won the previous year and took the year off, t hen all of a sudden they started to be serious again the following 2 seasons, what for?

Tony Parker was hit in the leg by Chris Pauls knee at the beginning of the series and was hurt the rest of the way, just to educate you. Typical Chris Paul stuff that he used to get away with all the time. Paul is and always has been a cheap shot artist. Thankfully, Paul's demise is on the fast track now.

A lot of bad breaks in that series. Spurs the 6th seed even though they should've been the 5th seed cause the Blazers had a worse record but were division champs. Splitter injured. Tony injured, didn't have enough lift on his jump shot and couldn't hit anything. Pop still overplaying him when Mills looked better. Kawhi getting locked down by Matt Barnes. Pop not being able to stop the high double screen pick & roll by the Clippers. Spurs not able to get stops in 2 home close-out games. Chris Paul making that luckyass game winner. Clippers shot clock guy letting the Clippers see the last play by the Spurs in advance. Just too much shit to overcome. Series was decided by 2 points.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Raptors are second round fodder AGAIN. Everyone was saying how they are a championship level team and I warned that Lowry can't be trusted in the playoffs or big games. Leonard fans keep blaming his teammates when they lose (they know who they are) and I'm sure they will have a myriad of excuses for his failure to win this year. However there is no team out there where he can join and they will win. He is done winning championships. He will go to the Clippers and years later when his career is over, he will think back on the Spurs and how he won with us and think: I wonder if I could've won one more with them had I played. Bc he ain't winning with the fucking clippers or Raptors

1071935107173371904


Clutch:
Leonard nearly won the game on his own. After being double-teamed the entire night, the Bucks switched to single coverage in the fourth and he burned them. Leonard drilled a corner three, nailed two pick-and-pop jumpers, forced Giannis Antetokounmpo into an air ball, and forced a turnover off Khris Middleton.


Foreshadowing:
However, the Bucks stopped Leonard in his tracks by reverting back to their double teams in the final two minutes. Leonard saw three bodies in the paint every time he drove, and the Raptors failed to convert that added defensive scrutiny into open shots.

Who knows but they had many wide open shots in those minutes...Just missed them.

Kawhi is back to MVP level from the 16/17 season. Nobody can deny that, look at his stats. Kyle Lowry will be his downfall though. This guy plays like he wants to get traded

[Gibbz]

What is wrong with PER, anyway? The best player in the NBA almost always leads or is at least in the top 3 in it. MJ won it 7 years in a row at his peak, LBJ similar, Kareem won a bunch in a row. The MVP has been the PER leader for several years in a row now.

[duncan2k5]

OK fine then maybe they don’t give a fuck about him and he is leaving. They made him the central focus of the offense and he can take plenty of time off when he needs it.

How is that different from his last full season in San Antonio? Pop rested Kawhi numerous times... And Kawhi was the focus of our offense because he is one of the best players in the NBA

[duncan2k5]

Dude,
Nephew was under the care of his hand picked medical team since August. They cleared him along with the Spurs. He took another two months off after the half hearted "comeback" and shut it down for good with no explanation to the team or the organization - a CS move for sure. YOU did not have any of the medical information to even know what was going on. This "group" was (per the ESPN Beat reporter) hiding Nephew from Spurs medical personnel in New York when they were seeking a status update. I know you are an apologist for Nephew, so you are unable to be reasonable and clear on the situation. According to the same writer (M. Wright) the "group" was doctor shopping and found the Philly 76er doc - sounds like they are having issues with their players (Fultz). SA had Nephew on minutes restrictions and no back to backs and he still managed to get hurt with a shoulder injury in the middle of his "comeback" in December/ January.

The whole situation does not pass the common sense smell test from the actions of the Nephew and his "Group". IMHO, a group of liars, grifters, and fabricators. Sorry. 25 years of being conservative with its players injury wise outweighs one group of "Me-First" amateurs from New Jersey and California.

Nope... It was POP who shut him down... And late in the season spurs medical staff who were right there with Kawhi agreed with the findings... So much for ur fable... And those 25 years were being conservative with the big 3...who he has loyalty to... So when they were on the verge of retirement, they cared more about sending them out with a bang than Kawhi's pain

[duncan2k5]

The best player on the planet doesn't skip the 2nd of back to backs like a scared little bitch, tbh.

All of the big 3 have done so numerous times in their career... Kawhi is coming off an injury and a year of not playing... They not gonna run him into the ground before half the season is even complete... Spurs aren't the only conservative team when it comes to injuries... I know that comes as a shocker to ppl who only watch the Spurs

[duncan2k5]

Leave Porker alone, I made like 5k posts explaining how bad he was to the team.
Yet that was no problem to beat the Heat, so why would be against the Clips and Tom Jr Rivers?

Reigning FMVP should be the primary weapon, and it was
Game 1 = KL 12 TD 10 TP 11 KL 7/12

Game 2 = KL 16 TD 23 TP 6 KL 9/16

Game 3 = KL 18 TD 13 TP 11 KL13/18

Game 4 = KL 19 TD 13 TP 15 KL10/19

Game 5 = KL 16 TD 13 TP 15 KL 5/16

Game 6 = KL 15 TD 9 TP 12 KL 6/15

Game 7 = KL 13 TD 16 TP 21 and Porker had better % in the elimination game

I would say he chucked, after game 4 his special boy diapers got full of hot brown rain.

Is not like they chucked, Duncan and Ginobili were geriatric and they young ones got lazy and thats on KL.
After winning the FMVP, instead of getting motivation he kept playing the super role part.
His last season in SA was the only marvelous one, before uncle dennis pulled the strings.
Remember there were lots of discussions here because KL could not get past the 20 points very often.

Because he wasn't taking a lot of shots... Look at his season stats... Kawhi didn't break out as a superstar until the 17 season

[duncan2k5]

It's a win win for me if he sits. If he sits it shows his insecurities and takes away any bragging rights that fanboys like you would have had if he played and won against the Spurs. If he plays he gets to be ridiculed by the fans. Also Spurs vs Lakers is currently our championship game. We already won the series this year.

Why is it when stars sit on the spurs, ppl say it is pop sitting them, but they don't think that for other teams? Coaches exist on other teams too... So when players from other teams sit, it's also their coach telling them too

[bic50]

Had a feeling Kawhi would probably sit after that bucks game. He was unreal on both sides of the ball for about 4-5 games straight. He's most likely going to go off again after some "rest".

[SpurPadre]

I know that comes as a shocker to ppl who only watch the Spurs

:sleep Talk about false equivalency. The Big 3 were well into their 30s when Pop started resting them more routinely and they didn't skip every 2nd of a back to back. But even if you want to use this argument, the point I made is that he can't be in the discussion of best player in the league until he can play more regularly, specifically more back to backs. If he can't, ok fine, I don't give a fuck anymore because he bitched out on my favorite team. But guess what? That makes him ineligible to be the best player on the planet.

He better not get mvp, especially since Toronto still plays well without him

[DPG21920]

I don’t care how many games people miss really but Curry is the clear cut mvp so far imo

When an actual injury befalls our former hero, there will be no tears shed.

Raptors are second round fodder AGAIN. Everyone was saying how they are a championship level team and I warned that Lowry can't be trusted in the playoffs or big games. Leonard fans keep blaming his teammates when they lose (they know who they are) and I'm sure they will have a myriad of excuses for his failure to win this year. However there is no team out there where he can join and they will win. He is done winning championships. He will go to the Clippers and years later when his career is over, he will think back on the Spurs and how he won with us and think: I wonder if I could've won one more with them had I played. Bc he ain't winning with the fucking clippers or Raptors

And his body won't even allow him to play injury-free for one season, LOL.

And you know he is too mentally weak or has a low pain tolerance, so playing "hurt" is out of the question.

Karma is a motherfucker, though.....

Toronto toying with the Clippers in LA but Kawhitter dick riders in here try to sell the idea that his supporting cast sucks. :lmao:lmao:lmao

In any case, if they trully see the Raptors' role playrers sucking while playing with Kawhi, there might be a case to be made about Kawhi making teammates worse, tbh.

Spurs are dealing with their own injuries.

Only thing that hurts him is him sitting back to backs.

And the fact curry is playing better than him

I don't care what you think, man. Kawhi can eat a dick and so can anyone that supports him.

For the record Lou Williams is out, too.

Just two questions.

-Will you trust in Ibaka or Lowry as your #2nd option/2nd best scorer in playoffs?

-Who is a reliable #2nd option on Raptors for the postseason?

That's their biggest weakness. Lack of legit 2nd scorer/Lowry underperforming in playoffs.
