The Passing Of Torch Has Taken Place......

Mark my words, One day we will revisit these asinine post that suggest Kawhi Leonard not being anything short of the best in the world!! His fire is not artificial; burns from with in! Its white hot....

Of course, since Tirico made a point to mention it on-air some folks jump on that fact and act like Pop was "calling Tony out" or something.

KD with the system player comment just made Kawhi crush him everytime they play each other he wont admit it but it shows and Pop is right there to unleash him .. They know the deal KD disrespecting Kawhi and he doesnt even have a ring hoping they face OKC so they break the team apart after an absolute ass whooping of a series .

Plus Pop benched Tony like 1 minute into the game a couple of games back (I forgot the opponent). Pop seems increasingly frustrated with Tony's inconsistent adaptation to the new Spurs' game and his role in it. As hard as it is to imagine with the Spurs, I have a concern that there could be a real rift between Tony and Kawhi with possible ripples through the locker room. We really don't need that. In order to win a championship we have to have all of our rotation players on the same page.

if there is a rift between tony and kawhi thats a big if then its all on tp being jealous and selfish on being given a lesser role but i doubt there is a rift between those two . Its Pop call not kahwi calling his own number tbh

I agree that if there is a rift it stems from Parker's inability/refusal to consistently embrace the new reality of the Spurs. Not saying Kawhi is calling his own number. Pop's forcing Tony's hand could be the catalyst for a rift between players. I hope there is no rift because our locker room is typically a model of harmony, plus we need all of our guys playing well and playing together to win the LOBT.

Why would he? I'm glad for KD's disrespect- it has paid off nicely.

all in brother ... We need all hands on deck for 6 . But if TP can't "get over himself" i do believe the spurs can still win it all with out him its just a diffrent vibe when he not playing and messing up the fluidity of the team its just me and im not hating on TP im no analyst just a reg dude watching and a fan of the spurs

I don't know if anyone caught what the spurs did in guarding the thunder.... By starting danny green on KD and Kawhi on Russ, you essentially neutralize the pick and roll with your best two perimeter defenders. A line up that has patty, Danny, manu, kawhi, Aldridge may be a lineup we may see that allows us to guard golden state effectively. Steph is the only one good shooting off the dribble, everyone else can be guarded straight up. The spurs played golden state vanilla last time; pop will out coach kerr trust.

I truly believe thay Pop wont show his hand against the warriors not until they meet in the playoffs .

Finally a good take.

Pop already knows how to attempt to guard worriers. He is not going to do that in regular season. He doesn't give a shit about winning records. He actually would love to lose this Saturday, and he most likely will :lol

Regular season = trial and error for the spurs. The rest of the league outside of the Warriors are just trying to keep their head above water while trying to find themselves. Like I said, Pop will out coach Kerr

not too far from the truth ... I thnik we lose again this saturday tbh

I'm actually 50/50 on this. We beat them twice last year and I suspect he will want to win 1 or 2 games against them for confidence going into the playoffs in case we meet.
