Kawhi Sent to Austin for Rehab

[racm]

Good news.

I'm curious to see how the Parker/Green/Leonard/Splitter/Duncan starting lineup will do. Defensively, it should be a very strong lineup but I don't know how well they will do offensively. Lack of spacing could be a big issue.

Green's the best long distance shooter in that lineup but for some reason I'm not feeling Timmy's midrange shot right now. If Kawhi can hit midrange shots he's good.

I'm curious to see how the Parker/Green/Leonard/Splitter/Duncan starting lineup will do.

When Leonard and Jackson are back full strength at the three position and thus giving the Spurs more size, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see the TD/TS front court starting.

Thread le is misleading

Cool, so pop made the toros come to SA to practice with kawhi just so he wouldn't have travel to austin...nice

[siraulo23]

it'd be great if he can pickup where he left off, taking and hitting mid range js with confidence

he looked legit right before the injury tbh

The only thing that has been off a bit this season is his 3 point shooting. Hopefully he is working on that whether it be mental and/or mechanics.

If you do that then the two bigs off the bench would be Diaw and Blair or Bonner which sounds to me like a nightmare.

Pop could, and maybe should, go back with Parker/Green/Leonard/Diaw/Duncan lineup that has worked so well during last playoffs. Diaw hasn't been good this season but it would allow Spurs to have a more balanced rotation.

Pop is trying to play with a 3 bigs rotation of Duncan, Splitter and Diaw.

Sub Splitter early and then sub him back in again when Duncan sits, problem solved. It's not exactly rocket science and gives our best players more minutes and our not so good players less minutes. It seems that Pop finally has figured out that Splitter can play.

Not surprising, and Spurs must have liked what they saw from the practice.

Thank you for posting that update here. Man, the Spurs being on this little losing streak has got me all discombobulated. Seeing our young stud out there next game would really mellow me out.

Thanks for the update. Good news. Though I'm trying to curb my hope that he plays tomorrow until I actually see him on the court.
