Kawhi "I joined a coach with the same mindset as me, the LOB trophy"

[testies]

Damn shots fired.

This is music to my ears.

Pop's priorities are showing penguin movies and drinking wine now.

[khantot]

Definitely a knock on Pop. Can't blame Kawhi for it though.

[RD2191]

He's right though, and the proof was signing trash like Mills and Gasol.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

well at least we know he was actually waiting to win the trophy to say this to Pop.

Then we can all agree now that he deserved every boo he got

Cased closed.

[Chomag]

That shade though

[timvp]

Pop sucks at not having an LOB trophy mindset, tbh.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Pop sucks at not having an LOB trophy mindset, tbh.

I know what you did there

[cjw]

Still, 5-2

And the second required an extremely hobbled team. And the first never happens without Pop.

[DAF86]

Pop lost the hunger after the Aldridge fiasco. He started to coach to please players instead of winning championships and this is where we are now. It's the same reason he won't trade DeRozan and Aldridge, like he should.

[CGD]

We just won’t ever know the full truth. That’s what makes this so frustrating. If he was pissed about roster construction, pop’s approach, the pressure to be the next Duncan, whatever, just wish he communicated it better.

[UZER]

Been saying this for years. :lol

But Pop fluffers love to keep fluffing Pop.

Yep tons of coaches have far more than Pop.. Like dozens of them..

Yeah he should just turn to politics
Spurs might win another title then
His wife can not keep him in line now

[venitian navigator]

Is the only real point in his favor and probably has been the main one that his uncle has repeteated him till the point to convince him to be part of the fraud. No doubt that Pau and Patty contracts were horrible and even a blind man could see that's not exactly the right way to manage a LOB mentality. That said, the mere fact that a newcomer that's been helped in all aspects to becoming a potential mvp (starting from a 15 draft pick) and invested of all the honors possible by the winningest franchise of last 20 years use this fact to publicly try to legitimate his and his group fraudy behavior, give the exact frame of how ungrateful and dishonest persons they all are.
Frankly, thanks for 2014 but no regrets you leave...I as a Spurs fan don't want to have nothing to do with you anymore.

[apalisoc_9]

Pop is the greatest of all time, but he hasnt been about basketball since 15. 67 win team was all Leonard and Aldridge and that team that lost to the warriors.

We forget Aldridge and Leonard were two top 10 two way players during that run because Pop hogged all the credit. Leonard missed out on an MVP award and obviously Aldridge barely gets any defensive credit.

Leonard was the best big win defender and most efficient iso scorer.

Aldridge was actually a top 4 defensive big in those two years :lol


But guess who took all the credit?

Pop.

[Gamechannel]

Now that's what I call an ungrateful motherfucker. He's not the quiet, simple guy everyone makes him out to be. He knows exactly what he was doing all along. We have been blaming uncle Dennis all this time. Truth is, this fucker has been the one pulling all the strings.

[UZER]

I keep saying, when Pop pulled the plug early in the 4th in the Memphis playoff game, that REALLY did not sit well with Kawhi. He even made a comment about it after the game. He was not happy at all. Those are the types of things he just wasn’t down with with Pops stubborn coaching style.

Its a sign that Pop thinks hes the reason why they're winning. He hasnt won 50 since Kawhi left.

Aldridge defense is basically whats keeping them afloat the last couple years.

Nope, Load Management

[ceperez]

Let's be honest here, the Raptors had a better constructed team than the Spurs had.

There's no equivalent to Pascal Siakam on the Spurs roster.

There aren't any defensive bigs like Ibaka and Gasol on the Spurs.

Leonard was surrounded with good players. Players that the Spurs roster does not have.

Why? Because the Spurs have for so many years have drafted way higher than the Raptors.

So I'm not bitter. I'm in fact happy to see the Raptors win against the Warriors. The Raptors are the kind of defensive team the Spurs should have been. Could the Spurs have done anything differently to get the talent, I don't think so. Just look at the last decade of NBA drafts.

Pop discovered Kawhi, he built him and he made him what he is today. No one had any idea about what Kawhi could do before Pop. It's just classless to think otherwise. Very little memory across the board

Then fucking talk to your coach about it! Be a man. You think pop and Timmy didn't have disagreements? You think Pop and Manu never argued about stuff? Just be a MOTHERFUCKING man and talk things out. Just like Aldridge did. Don't just run your ass out of the town.

This is what Kawhi actually meant = I joined a coach who will let my posse and I dictate the terms of my playing time and what I do on offense.

Klay was on his way to winning the game. He was rolling and he does not just cool down when he is that HOT!! When you add in KD out the whole series, it is one of the biggest gift wraps in recent memory. Warriors got 1 a few years back with the Cavs being hurt... So Karma I guess..

[Barfunk]

Look, I have said it before: Pop deserved a little bit of Karma, but his legacy is fine.

[BatManu20]

Pop’s got 3 more than Kawhi, who wouldn’t even have won had he faced a healthy Dubs team, tbh.

Not fair. In the context of this conversation when he comes out and says what he said there's no argument. Pop found him and made him who he is now. He couldn't even shoot the ball when he joined the Spurs. So I think it was classless and unwarranted.

Whatever. you know my meaning. Kawhi shouldn't have said that of the one person who discovered him and thought he could be this player. No one else did.

Pop literally didn't think he could be this player. He basically outed himself on that after refusing to max him then claiming he couldn't lead a team.

[Spurs Homer]

Old man pop - still has more courage than a young guy in his prime who quit.

A guy in his prime who was too much of a pussy - to face little tony parker and instead ran to new york to hide from facing men who held him up to scrutiny.

A young guy in his prime who took 18 million and faked an injury because he didn't have the balls to play with a little discomfort.

Pop gifted the Raptors 20% of his starting lineup - which the raptors used to win a title - and stupid kawhi fans cannot see this fact - that Pop had built title teams - but Pop had warriors that won 5 titles and when pop noticed that his most talented young guy in his prime -

was a piece of shit prima donna malingering mute retard flake cunt -

he let him go with honor -

and allowed him to go to a good team - and never bad mouthed him -

Pop just accepted that young guys rule the league and decided to let him go -

and just continue to do things the right way and continue to keep players with heart, with honor and integrity and I am excited to see another title team come together eventually.

Fuck that piece of shit mute cancer quitter.

For all you Kawhi fans who act as Spurs fans on these forums, always remember: Spurs were great before Kawhi came along and they will continue to be great even once he's gone. Kawhi can win as much he wants to - I wish him well in his endeavors. But it won't change the fact that in my hearts and minds of true Spurs fans the Spurs will always be bigger than any one player. Bigger than Duncan, bigger than Robinson, bigger than Manu, bigger than Parker and certainly bigger than Kawhi.

Therefore, fuck Kawhi!

Dude. how do you know he "refused to max him"? is that a conspiracy theory? did you read it in this site? How do you know Pop didn't think he could be this player? Just have to watch video from several years ago to see how Pop explained trading Hill for this "package".

Just look at the old threads in this very site to see how people were outraged that Hill was being traded for this pick. So who did that trade? Who believed in that trade? Kawhi was fucking raw as it comes dude. Only Pop believed it was worth it to trade "his favorite player" (his own words) in Hill for an unknown.

It's all about priorities though. Pop wanted to keep George Hill instead of getting Kawhi. He likes to load up on midget 3pt shooters that can't guard. Instead the Raptors were interested in getting long and athletic players that can guard. That's basically the antidote needed to beat the Warriors.

However he's never made the playoffs while fat head has a starter so what does that say?

That the Suns fucking suck?

[Collins21]

That the Suns fucking suck?

Yeah but the Spurs suck too and are anchored by a choker in LA. So Kyle Anderson made the Playoffs with a Bum in LA according to you.

[TimDunkem]

LA is a bum, but he's a better bum than everyone on the Suns. The Spurs success (what little they had) that season had come despite Fathead wasting space, not because of him.

We're talking about a bum who is known these days for choking at the end of games. Even Grizzlies fans hate him now. :lol

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Are people really shocked at what Kawhi said?

You don’t win championships by giving Patty and Pau $90 million.

I agree. But the pussy faggot should have been man enough to say that from the beginning instead of faking an injury, hiding in closets and pretending to be outraged or hurt that his teammates rightly called him out on his bs about an injury. To me it's fuck em both. Fuck Pop and Kawhi.

[Ozballer]

"he joined the coach"? as if, his choice? I thought PATFO delivered him to the coach. Regardless, who cares anyhow.

[Legacy]

:lmao Does #2 even know what the word team means...? Definitely sounds like he's bitter at Pop. Keep talking shit, Neph. Keep talking.... :makemyday

[Legacy]

Nobody with a brain is buying it. Number 2 is a whiny soft ass diva..

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop is the greatest of all time, but he hasnt been about basketball since 15. 67 win team was all Leonard and Aldridge and that team that lost to the warriors.

We forget Aldridge and Leonard were two top 10 two way players during that run because Pop hogged all the credit. Leonard missed out on an MVP award and obviously Aldridge barely gets any defensive credit.

Leonard was the best big win defender and most efficient iso scorer.

Aldridge was actually a top 4 defensive big in those two years :lol


But guess who took all the credit?

Pop.

Facts, but that's media giving him the credit. Not really Pop's fault. Those 2 guys were 2 of the biggest mismatches the Dubs had to face period, which is why I still think we would've won in 2017

[RC_Drunkford]

I think Kawhi definitely had a problem with Pop, probably mostly about his military coaching style, him yelling at him so the others fall in line and him preferring his washed up vets. Kawhi is still a bitch though. It's more about Dennis having an issue with the Spurs

[monty4329]

Kawhi could easily be on his way to 5-6 titles if he plays his cards right tbh.

He might end up in LA with LBJ and AD and easily threepeat down the line

[bic50]

Yeah but he had to lie about an injury bc he wasn't man enough to just say he wanted LA. Went faking an injury and hiding in closets
When did he say he wanted to go to la?

[bic50]

:lmao Comparing a shitty east team beating a depleted GSW with a team who could never repeat as its the same thing.
Berto going anywhere as long they ring, probably over 30 and wearing a mohawk.
That depleted team made it to the finals.

[offset formation]

Pop’s legacy taking a hit by the day

Lol. No.

What a shortsighted statement. And from a shitposter

[offset formation]

That depleted team made it to the finals.

And then suffered a sprained knee (Iggy), a broken clavicle (Looney), a calf strain and eventually a torn Achilles (Durant -- in his first game...GAME 5), and a torn ACL (Klay -- in a monster of a game in crunchtime of game 6 who also missed another game due to a hamstring injury). And lets not forget that Boogie raced back to play on a hobbled torn quad and could barely get 6" off the ground.

LOL!!!!

No NBA team in history should lose to a team with only one dynamic player. And yet this could have easily gone to a game 7. Easy.

Take your nephew love with you to LA next season.

[GreekSpursfan]

Kawhi was lucky as fuck, load management throughout the regular season without his team missing anything because they were stacked and being the freshest star out of everyone in the playoffs. He was even luckier in the playoffs, no need to explain that, and what he's saying here is BS. Fuck him and his uncle for eternity

[offset formation]

And never forget, Danny Green stated that he'd never played on a deeper team in his career. Yet he played for the team that defined a Beautiful Game.

So it took all of that to defeat a historically unparalleled injury riddled team.

[offset formation]

When did he say he wanted to go to la?

GTFOH.

And this series could have easily been a sweep. The only injury that matters is Durant because it happened before the series and they were still favored to win it all. Neither team was 100%. Hopefully Durant has a speedy recovery and is back to his normal self and stays with the team and next season your warriors come back stronger to rule the west again.

[bic50]

GTFOH.
He did. What are you angry about?

Salty af. How did they get lucky against the bucks?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

So salty. :lol It's alright, man. I'm sure we'll win a title with DD, LMA, and Mills eventually!

No need to shift the conversation. You have your own opinion, that's fine. I just question the idea that anyone even came close to understand Kawhi's potential before Pop - so Pop created him and saw something in him before anyone else. And the cost was pretty high in trading his fav player Hill. At that time people in this very site were furious at Pop and then he was a genius when they almost beat a fully stacked LBJ's team in 2013 and finally beat them outright in 2014. Media said Pop was the best coach of his generation for having unearthed this gem when no one else had any clue, not even the Pacers who drafted him.

So, no, Kawhi only had long wingspan and some D skills when he was drafted. Teams with better picks dismissed him. For instance the following players were picked before him:

Kyrie Irving
Derrick Williams
Enes Kanter
Tristan Thompson
Jonas Valančiūnas
Jan Veselý
Bismack Biyombo
Brandon Knight
Kemba Walker
Jimmer Fredette
Klay Thompson
Alec Burks
Markieff Morris
Marcus Morris

Save for Kyrie, and Klay (and maybe Kanter), wtf happened with everyone else? I guess all those players were thought to be better than Kawhi when drafted but we know what happened next, right? (please do not make a fool of yourself by bringing up Tristan and Brandon)

So, no - no one had any idea who Kawhi was, only Pop/PATFO...

To conclude, I think it was awful that Kawhi said what he said yesterday about the one guy WHO MADE HIM. It's very rare when a #15 gets to win 2 Finals MVP.

Case closed.

[offset formation]

Bitter af

Yes, but also factual. Lol.

[SupremeGuy]

Tony Parker literally shit on our future. That piece of shit; that piece of shit just couldn't shut the fuck up.

[Mark Celibate]

Is the only real point in his favor and probably has been the main one that his uncle has repeteated him till the point to convince him to be part of the fraud. No doubt that Pau and Patty contracts were horrible and even a blind man could see that's not exactly the right way to manage a LOB mentality. That said, the mere fact that a newcomer that's been helped in all aspects to becoming a potential mvp (starting from a 15 draft pick) and invested of all the honors possible by the winningest franchise of last 20 years use this fact to publicly try to legitimate his and his group fraudy behavior, give the exact frame of how ungrateful and dishonest persons they all are.
Frankly, thanks for 2014 but no regrets you leave...I as a Spurs fan don't want to have nothing to do with you anymore.
:wow oh shit

Kawhi on suicide watch now

[SupremeGuy]

Kawhi could easily be on his way to 5-6 titles if he plays his cards right tbh.My dog, until we find out differently, I'm starting to lean towards Kawhi.

Pop and Parker fucked this all up.

[Dennis the Menace]

We have Pop the politician. The hungry coach is long gone, and it’s been painfully obvious to see with the insane cultural loyalty contracts.

The only thing this front office does well anymore is draft and develop. That’s it. Hopefully the young management doesn’t want to run a country club atmosphere with regards to winning

Kawhi mentioned both Pop and Chip unprompted on his post-game NBATV interview.

He said Chip was his guy and that Chip made him (or something to that effect).

Then he also said Pop wouldn't let him skip a step in his development.

I'm not a Kawhi fan at this point but he at least did mention those things.

"he joined the coach"? as if, his choice? I thought PATFO delivered him to the coach.

Right. He makes it sound like he got to choose his destination which he did NOT. If he did get to choose he'd be in a Laker's jersey. :lol

[venitian navigator]

:wow oh shit

Kawhi on suicide watch now

Sorry, are you a Spurs fan? no? so?
What about a year out of Doncic and Porzingis both faking injuries till they are traded form peanuts to the only team they want? would't you feel, as a Dallas fan, angry with them?
Didn't you feel angry after the Deandre saga? did you accept with open arms the fact he signed with Dallas only when his actual value as a player a for your team chances to compete was not the same anymore?
I would...simply because I think a professional should take responsability for his conduct and respect his word (in your De Andre case) and his signed contract (in n° 2 case)...but obviously I'm not you...probably in your opinion players can do whatever they want without any kind of consequence...let alone at least be blamed by fans...

[widowmaker]

Sure. Pop didn’t fake an injury while his team fought it out to complete. But anyway Raptos won a title let kawhi and his uncle worry about where he’s going to sign all you fan boys start a KL forum and slob on his knob as much as you want this is a spurs forum.

[BackHome]

Well said.

No, I'm not going anywhere, and I'm far from the only one bringing this up. I love my Spurs, the team is above Pop and anybody else, so this idea you can't criticize when they fuck up is really stupid.

I've been one of Pop's staunchest supporters over the years, until he stopped giving a shit. He earned the right to stay with the team as long as he wants, but that doesn't make him immune to criticism... father time catches up to everyone, tbh, including coaches.

[ElNono]

And this idea that if you criticize Pop automatically means you're supporting Kawhi is also ridiculous. Nephew can go fuck himself, that doesn't mean mistakes were not made.

Yep agreed - I saw this too. He said Chip has been his guy with shooting for a long time now, and that Pop is a great coach that didn't let him skip steps in his development. Was really confusing given the comments he said on the trophy stage. It would be nice if the full truth came out one day. So frustrating.

[SAGirl]

Yea that. :bobo

[SpursforSix]

Whatever. you know my meaning. Kawhi shouldn't have said that of the one person who discovered him and thought he could be this player. No one else did.

All in all, Kawhi will now be defined by those words he said.

I don't know about all that. It's nice to think that being with the Spurs made him what he is.
But the reality is that someone would have drafted him. And he seems like the kind of guy that was going to work his ass off regardless where he ended up.

Pop put him in a situation to win an early ring. But other than that, I think Leonard still ends up a superstar if he's never with the Spurs.

[RC_Drunkford]

Anybody who has watched Spurs over the regular seasons knows that Pop brought Kawhi along step by step. Every year he got a little more responsibility until he was ready to get the ultimate green light in 2017 and became the best player in the league. It was completely the right approach. He turned into a real assassin when Pop called that 4 down play against Orlando when Kawhi nailed the game winner in Aaron Gordon's face.

[RC_Drunkford]

People gotta give Nick Nurse some credit. The box in one, the wall defense they played against Giannis. He made adjustments that swung the series in the Raptors favor

[SAGirl]

And this idea that if you criticize Pop automatically means you're supporting Kawhi is also ridiculous. Nephew can go fuck himself, that doesn't mean mistakes were not made.
Some of these points you brought up before Uncle and this rift got in our faces last season. It’s just now more evident than b4.

I look forward to the draft and the young blood. This team needs new faces and hungry guys. Hopefully new assistant coaches help too. As I said elsewhere, I am not salty about nephew it’s the Spurs who need to get their shit together and more of the same as Pop said to end the season is not a hungry statement. Maybe that was lip service I hope to be wrong.

Think I said I didn’t like this Spurs team this past season all that much and that I’d watch others more. Ended up doing neither and watched NBA games as a whole a lot less, until the playoffs. If that makes me a bandwagon you made that judgement yourself. I just overall became a lot more casual this past season. Still hoping that the Spurs pull out an ace in the draft even if it’s not immediately apparent.

Edit: Also once Murray got injured, it added to my lack of interest it has to be said and that was in preseason

[Manong Ginobili]

If Kahwi was all about the LOB trophy, why did he want to be traded to LA only? That city ain't winning anything, he should thank Pop for being traded to a stacked team.

[weebo]

You mean a coach who refuses to adapt with the new ways of winning (:cry basketball doesn’t exist anymore) and likes to be pompous when people rightfully call him out SHOULD be surprised his star player wanted to leave so he can continue giving charity contracts to people that were good 5 years ago. In PATFO we trust

WTF are you talking about?? The Spurs, despite all the bullshit they've had to put up with are still making the POs..No they're not title contenders anymore because to be a title contender you have at least one top five level talent on your team...the Spurs don't...and they don't because its San Antonio...Pop or no Pop...no top level talent wants to come play here...

he didn’t ask to get traded to the warriors, to boston, to philly.
