Really not a big deal. I'm sure all of the non-rotation guys, and even some of the rotation guys, feel like they deserve to play more.

I can understand him being frustrated but nows not the time for this crap. With the emergence of Cory it was just a matter of time.

Ugh. Why do all these off-the-court issues have to come up NOW?
Get over yourself kid
Cory Joseph is playing really well right now, so chill out Nando, grab a towel, and root for him.
seriously. like patty. cojo is playing better than you. the end.
Looks like no Nando next season. Its one thing to feel bad, keep it in and support your team no matter what. Its another to feel bad and express it in the media. Your role on the team doesn't start and end if you play or not. One of your roles as a player on the team is to be the best opponent of the starters during practice. Just show what you got on the court. This is BS. Send him home Pop.

remember when roger "money mase" mason started talking out of school like this lol
He's garbage anyway. I fully expect for him to be gone next season. He also refused to go to the d-leauge.
Probably feels he can't be any worse than Manu.
This is no biggie, he is just being honest. He is not questioning Pop or disrespecting his teammates. He is just saying he doesn't like being on the bench. Honestly would you want a player who is comfortable staying on the bench every game. The kid has fire, which is a good thing. He probably should have vented to a friend or family as opposed to the media, but this is not a big issue.
Shut the up Nando. This couldn't wait a few weeks?
So Jackson influenced him
He probably thought since he was talking to a French media source, it wouldn't get back to the American media. Wrong dude. Wrong..
These playoffs are definitely not for Nando.
Terrible Nando... I don't even want to see you on the team anymore. Don't even let him wear a suit.
France influenced him tbh
Maybe the league is not for him. He might play more minutes with the Spurs next season but with any other team he won't. The Spurs have a system and if you can contribute something regardless of your weaknesses your strengths can be improved and you can get more minutes. In any other franchise he is going to get benched if his individual play does not surpass incredibly the other players.
We all wanted him to win minutes and we all celebrated when pop called him the backup point guard, but he never sustained his good play. One game looked like a playmaker next game was uber passive. Seemed scared to shoot at times, and his D while better than neals was still maddeningly inconsistent he could use another camp/offseason of work. Still has potential due to his size, ball handling, and passing
De Colo was terrible down the stretch of the season.
He played decently this season, but I wouldn't say very well. His lack of decision making at times and inability to create his own shot showed that he wasn't ready for the big stage. As for Cory, he has shown that he spent a lot of time working on his game. He voluntarily when to the D-league to get more reps in and it is his second season. Furthermore, he is playing quite well in the playoffs and should not be losing his spot any time soon. As for Blair, we would not be up 2-0 in this series if he was starting so I'm not sure what you are talking about.
The only problem I have with it is this part
" The worst is that it is one of the assistants that tells me that I'm in a suit as if it was normal, but it will be before anything happened. The morning of the game, I was leaving after the shoot around and he said "Nando, okay? Tonight you're in a suit." You say . You do not know what happened. You're in a new series. You wonder why you, and not another. It is not obvious at all. At first you think it is a game or two. Assistants tell you that things can change and, in fact, nothing changes. "
If he would have left that out that would be better because that didnt need to go to the press. As long as he's only venting to French newspapers and not being a problem with the team then it won't be an issue. Dude needs to learn from the situation and work his ass off on defensive techniques and shooting this offseason if he wants to play more next year. Can't have a backup point to doesn't defend very well and can't shoot very well. Being very good/great at one of those things gets you minutes aka Joseph with defense and Neal with shooting (although he's sucked balls recently)
?
Nando had a very streaky season pre-Parker injury, while Joseph was killing it in D-League and at the same time learning the Spurs system. We all knew Neal was worthless as a PG so when Parker went down, Pop knew he could have a little compe ion for the backup spot. Everybody got some fair run, Joseph did the most with his minutes, he won the spot.
I didn't really feel like NDC got wronged, tbh. He could be a guy who does a lot better in year 2. But for now, CJ plays better D, has at least as good handles, and can hit a jump shot. Nando is a better passer but that's about it.
well-he's not the first frenchie to go off across the pond. although, things did not sit well with pop the last time one of our frogs went public with his complaints.
Pop, time to do something about Nando, and I'm not talking about "making him breakfast".
