Isn't the Wells Fargo Center a pretty old building?I always wondered who that Jeremy Lin looking guy was.But anyway, Kawhi seemed OK because after the initial fall he got back on the offensive end of the floor and even cut from the 3 point line in the corner to the basket running on it, so I figured he was OK. Good thing it was only a flesh wound, but damn....a nail sticking out on the court? That's not good...
A rusty in nail could kill u
I really hope a world-class athlete worth millions of dollars has access to tetanus shots.
first thought was "its his knee again". glad it wasn't .
Crazy there's a nail on the court and just as crazy, the blood rule wasn't in effect.
Pop acted like an asshole. I saw when Kawhi went down and wondered when Pop would call a 20 sec t/o but he let kawhi wobble around the floor. Then Kawhi-out of coufusion - takes matters into his own hands and Pop acts like a total instead of worrying about his future paycheck.
Looked like an asshole too after he realized Kawhi did the best he could under the cir stances.
^
He also calmed down and rubbed the back of his neck.. He was just upset Kawhi used a foul, when he wanted a time out instead.
Dude, what ing game are you watching? Pop looked puzzled, asked him why he fouled, and then gave him a pat and sent him to the bench. What KL did was hugely stupid and could have cost the Spurs the game. It's the coach's job to tell a player that.
BTW, you can't call a timeout when you're on defense. You know that, right? Pop asked KL if he was okay, KL made a cut on the offensive side of the floor and looked fine, then pulled up as Duncan made the basket and motioned to Pop that he needed to come out. The time to ask Pop to call a timeout was before the basket was made.
What KL could have done was shown the blood to the ref and they'd have called a time out. Don't know if they'd have done it when the Spurs were on defense though. Would have been better than an intentional foul inside 2 minutes.
What? lol
I thought the opposite, once Kawhi walked past Pop, Pop had that look of concern he has when a player might be severely injured. I was really worried about Kawhi once the TNT cameras panned to Pop's face.
Pop is the coach - he should have been the one to take charge and call the time-out or else stfu and deal with a young player's inexperience and "teach" instead of try to embarrass him.
Kawhi almost cost the Spurs the game. This happens every night in the NBA. Nobody commits intentional fouls within the last 2 minutes of the game if they are hurt. That's a bonehead play in a tight game. Pop wasn't trying to embarrass anyone. He was trying to win the ing game
If Pop knew it was that serious then Kawhi should have told him when we were on offense and we could have called timeout, not when we were on defense. And even if it was a "cut on the knee" Kawhi should have played through it that last defensive possession and then called timeout once we got the ball. It's not like he was going to die out there or anything.
Not sure if you are trolling or what but what a re ed ass statement.

Not trolling -just think that Pop should have used the opportunity to teach a young player in a postive way instead of flipping out and flailing his hands over his head and then ing out Kawhi - before realizing Kawhi was possibly injured....
at which point Pop went into panic mode and went ..."oh "
Watch the game or re-watch the game before making comments.
I did re-watch it. Kawhi made a bonehead play that could have cost the Spurs the game. Pop let him know that it was a bonehead play. I don't care if you have a hurt knee, you don't make that foul. Kawhi will not be making that foul in the future.
Well, I hope you are right and that Pop's method was effective. Hope it ends up being a positive. End result, should be all that matters.
Still thought it was kinda funny how Pop looked like an asshole.
Pop looks like an asshole all day everyday, unless of course he's fouling Shaq on the first play of the game...
I've watched that part of the game several times, and went in and watched it again before replying to your post. At no point do I see Pop flipping out or flailing his hands. In fact I don't see where he's ing out Kawhi, though Reggie and Barkley mentioned that he did, but complimented the way he went about it. KL did something re edly stupid and Pop didn't try to embarrass him, he simply asked why he was intentionally fouling and then gave him an affectionate pat on the way to the bench. Again, KL walked RIGHT PAST Pop after the fall, and Pop asked him if he was okay. KL flexed his knee a few times and then cut across the baseline without any problem.Not trolling -just think that Pop should have used the opportunity to teach a young player in a postive way instead of flipping out and flailing his hands over his head and then ing out Kawhi - before realizing Kawhi was possibly injured....

That's one of the funniest scenes of all time. Whenever someone gets hurt around my house someone is going to say "It's only a flesh wound".
Is silverblk mystix our best Pop hater ?
Ok, settle down Francis.
If Kawhi has tough skin -it will be alright. No need for name-calling here if you disagree.
I stand by my original comment whether you agree or not.
Just call em as I see em. Spurs fans getting defensive.
It has nothing to do with "agreeing". Your take is based on events that you completely fabricated. Then your defense was to tell people to go back and watch. Nope, still not there. Standing by your original comment is what makes you an asshole.
OK sure, got it.
