Kawhi Throwing Shade at the Spurs

So much prisoner of the moment bullshit going on. The bottom line is I believe as he gets older the spurs ultimately will be vindicated. Because this is not something that won’t happen again. It absolutely will happen again. He will be arguing with team doctors, and refusing to play basketball. As he gets older he’s not going to magically get healthier.

The Spurs remain through it all the most superior franchise in basketball.

I agree, but the problem is when you do what he did, and take it all the way, you basically have the forum to say whatever you want and people are going to believe you. That’s what’s happening right now. So the Spurs are taking these punches to the face.

Yes, really. The Spurs docs issued a diagnosis, "quadriceps tendinopathy." It is malpractice to knowingly issue a false diagnosis. The docs were not lying (and they are not incompetent.)

It was a real injury - unless we're accusing the Spurs docs of malpractice, or incompetence, and we don't want to go there. I hope.

But given that, it is definitely arguable how significant that injury really was, six months later. It is unreasonable, it seems to me, to believe that a total alienation developed between Kawhi and the Spurs just because his leg might have still bothered him, sometimes. There absolutely had to be more to it than that. Other factors had to be at work, such as, for example, a manipulative uncle.

Exactly. No injury.

Exactly. He has to make sure he keeps mentioning the bs fake ass injury even since the previous playoff rounds where media started really eating up the bs.

If only Skip added this to his arguments

:tu

Sad part is he has and used or insinuated on a couple of occasions the Durant situation like " see that could of been me" so aperfect narrative perfect example he wins a championship and everything coming up roses for that loser quitter. However karma is a bitch and hopefully it comes back to bite him and his greedy uncle in the ass.

many have thought about Durant being a bitch ...punking out.....riding the coat tails to chip...but ask yourself who was the bigger bitch no love lost hear for KD but the dude came out for his team that he supposedly already new he was leaving to help them win at the risk of his own career and free agency looming. To me kawitter holds the chip but also crowned the biggest fraud punk ass bitch in the league.

He didn't have fun playing for the Spurs where Pop would treat everyone equally, get on him when he made mistakes, teammates who held him accountable and a fanbase who loved him but realized the team matters more than any individual.

---

Treated everyone equally?? LMFAO!!! that fable needs to die already

So ppl crying about Kawhi throwing shade? Where were u when the old guys for the Spurs, the coach, FO, and retired players were throwing shade at Kawhi??

Kawhi literally did that same thing this year... Play through injury for a team he may leave in a month... And I can bet if Kawhi injured himself, ppl on here would laugh and say he is injury prone, but yall praising KD

I have been incredibly consistent that he milked and faked his way out of San Antonio from day one. Are you finally ready to stop pretending you are even a fan of this team? What is your deal anyway?

They questioned him privately, and he pulled a complete bitch fit by running and hiding. That is the problem with this dude. You have to kiss his ass, never question him, and basically do every little thing to make him happy or he’s going to quit on you. Trust me it will happen again.

are you serious? Huge difference between injuries KD who I am not a fan of was injured for a while and out of action a rushed back into the line up. Kawitter may have had a nagging injury but nothing that seemed career threatening or we all know he doesn't play. Besides he basically had to play could you imagine what it would of done to his career brand and reputation if he tried punting out on this team as well in the playoffs??? He would of torpedoed his career big time as a wussy injury prone bitch who won't play through nagging injuries. Either way he a loser cause if he was as injured as you seem to think and he "pushed" himself for his new team but had his feelings hurt and quit on the team that made him well that's classless anyway.


last thing the dude had his playing time monitored and played like 60 games and by his own words the media asked how he is playing at such a high level and he said it's because he is fresh and had good game load management. So don't compare a broken nail with Durante calf strain turned ruptured Achilles.

And, even if all that about Kawhi is true, who cares about coddling the man if it means he's going to continue to be that stoic-faced killer on both ends of the court?

---

Stupid take. If all I cared about is winning I could just bandwagon a team with the most likely chance to win every year. Obviously there's a reason Spurs fans remain Spurs fans, and if that was only winning we'd be the most underwhelmed group in existence.

Also let me beat you to the punch. Your posts are Gay AF.

Yeah, there was a feud and he left and the team he went to won the fucking championship because he played like an absolute stud.

Yeah, real winners the Spurs were here. Really feeling vindicated.

Seriously, gtfo with the classy Spurs bullshit. Pop has created an awesome culture here and we had a great run but he plays favorites just like every other coach and it costed the team big time.
