But he has taken nights off per Pop. Kerr doesn't watch Spurs basketball like Pop watches the Dubs, tbh.
Kerr = Puppet
Pop = Puppet Master
Kerr telling media Leonard MVP?
It's not like Curry can take a night off.
Jordan and Pippen had a lot of success so it's not the best comparison if Kerr is trying to pooh-pooh the Spurs' title chances.
Kerr is a treacherous little shit. But the one thing he proved last year is that he can take off half a season, and no one would know the difference.

Got Damn Right! That whole fucking team disgusts me, including Kerr's wannabe ass. https://media.giphy.com/media/2t9sDPrlvFpdK/giphy.gifQuote:

I doubt it was more than an observation and compliment to Kawhi. People on here are too sensitive...
Hard for me to hate on Kerr, when he bailed out TP in 2003 WCF.
Most probably true. The problem I got with Kerr is that everything he says, at least as a coach, don't come out as genuine and sincere. There's this shady aura around him. But that's me. I can't speak for others.Quote:

These are different times. I hope Pop doesn't feel as you do. 2003 was a long time ago. This is now.Quote:

What's been lost in this thread is the fact that Kerr is right. The Spurs' ceiling gets lowered by more than any other top team if its best player goes down. Maybe Harden would be comparable.
My thoughts exactly, except Kawhi, Harden and Westbrook.Quote:

Awwwe you guys ruining a rivalry thread.
Lolyou guys ain't ready for playoff basketball and are letting Kerr fire the first shots...
:lolActually it is simply the truth ... but he knows who he's taking out of his game. Forget about vPop playing no shooters. Pau and LMA better take it to them.
With LA talking about other Spurs not making the all-star game, I was thinking Kerrs comment could be a sly comment on that. But then he compares Kawhi to Jordan and Pippen so its hard to find something bad there. Like, oh no we might win six more championships!!
I wonder where did this quote come from, if someone could tell me? Was it some casual interview? Because still, when he says Kawhi cant take a day off hes putting down the rest of the team. Right or wrong, its ballsy to say it and its not like we are playing them tomorrow, which would be the usual time to talk about a rival team. But also as great as Kawhi has been you cant really say hes solely responsible for our success and he must know that. You cant have our record with one guy.
The jury's still out for me.
