Regular season outings have always proven to be worthless come playoff time.
spurs don't need confidence vs. Clippers. Spurs are a veteran bunch, if they lose it will be because the big 3 are old and the role players are playoff pussies(pretty high chance of this)

I don't think this is CIA Pop. Kawhi said after the Bulls game that his knee is still bothering him. I've seen him flexing it during games to keep it loose.
Sucks, tbh. Hopefully he can somehow get close to 100% between now and the playoffs.
We might as well rest our player tonight and get ready for GS tomorrow night tbh. I hope Pop only plays Tony and Tim a few minutes and lets our bench play the whole game. Give Stern the old middle finger again on national television too.
Well , I sure would love to see him ball Butler..
I think it's CIA. Why let him play in the Rising Stars Challenge at all? Last year he didn't play, this year...he did. If Pop was really concerned, then Kawhi would not have played again.
Why give the Clippers any intel on how the sets are with Kawhi on the court? This way, again, win or lose, the Clippers don't learn much.
It's not just that he doesn't believe in them, they actually don't exist. This game is, literally, just 1/82...and right now, with the cushion the Spurs have AND the home-heavy remaining schedule, there is no reason to think they won't have HCA, regardless of what happens tonight.
I was thinking before the RRT that if the Spurs were within 2 games of OKC (as in the Spurs TRAILING), the good guys would have a pretty good chance to secure the 1 seed; as it stands now? Damn near a lock.
Spurs play on National TV tomorrow also. Spurs can also still win this game without Kawhi. No reason to give up already.
I think this is one of those injuries that just won't go away until he gets a lot of rest.
People saying "we don't need him" are getting on my nerves. I went to game 3 of the clippers series last year, and it was Kawhi who was the spark and catalyst of our huge comeback.
I'm goin to be at the game today, sucks he won't be playing.
First off, Leonard was one of the sparks on that run, but not the only one.
Second, I believe people are saying that losing Leonard doesn't put the Spurs at some major strategic disadvantage against Los Angeles. There's no one he needs to match-up against for the Spurs to win. Duncan, Parker, Green and Splitter are going to have critical roles in this game. Leonard definitely could have been an X-factor, but he's not necessary to the game plan like he would be against the Thunder.
Third, I'm sorry you won't get to see Leonard play tonight. It sucks buying a ticket for a road game and not seeing that team at full strength.
I would really ing like Pop to go all in on an important regular season game, just once. Jesus, what a ing puss.
Jumbo shrimp

you get the idea..
Spurs haven't treated a regular season game like it's important since 2007. Can you do math?
Sure can. This, however, isn't a math problem.
Given our cushion at the top of the conference, I don't particularly care if we win this game. Far more concerned about Kawhi's health. We aren't coming out of the west without him at 100%. His game is crucial for us, but I doubt that he has the kind of experience yet to be able to change it to compensate for nagging injury.
I demand substantial sanctions. I live in LA and the spurs are only here a few times a year. It's not like Kawhi got dinged during the sacto game
CIA Pop too CIA for my liking
We're going to win, without Mr. Leonard. Clippers haven't played since 2/14, and trade rumors concerning Bledsoe and Jordan might have been unsettling to team chemistry, confidence.
KL is fine no need to jump ship man emo bunch we got here Lac win by 2 ....
Blame the Lakers, not the Spurs. I don't know what the Lakers had to do with it, but they have more money.
Leonard was massaging his knee lightly when he went you the bench last game, but he was smiling and chit chatting while doing it. I think he'll be okay, for the most part.
Elliott should send Kawhi his shiny knee brace sleeves and top it off with his elbow sleeve as well.
Could it mean also they're going to rest Tim/Tony/Manu tomorrow again and rely on Leonard to play a role like he did in the Bulls game?
