In the interview at shootaround, Pop said that they wanted to make sure that they didn't do anything that would "prevent him from playing heavy minutes in the playoffs".
CIA Pop or not, I really hope this is something that can be managed effectively til the offseason, where he can hopefully make a complete recovery. I don't even mind sitting him a few games if it improves our chances in the playoffs. as i've said before, i just hope his knee is alright for the duration of this season/career.

True, but the math tells you that the Spurs haven't won a le since Pop started pulling this cutesy .
Moving on from oxymorons to correlation/causation.
I don't particularly understand why Kawhi's knee was worth risking for an exhibition game and for Sacramento, but not for a team that will probably end up the Spurs' opponent in the conference finals, and also a team that's pasted them twice.
If you say so. The Spurs don't take games seriously anymore, and they've been embarrassed in the playoffs every single year since then.
If you say so.
And a new pet theory was born.
I'd say there were a few embarrassments, but far from every single year being an embarrassment.
Really? 4-1 to the Lakers, 4-1 to Dallas, 4-0 to Phoenix, 1 losing to 8 and losing four straight after 20 in a row. Which one wasn't embarrassing?
Been saying this for years. Probably since the last time you contributed to a thread that didn't involve the D League.
OK -- and a pet theory was repeated for years, along with a lame attempt at an insult.
I'd explain it to you, but it would just be a waste of time. You're not going to agree anyways. You just want toabout something.

Not D-League related.
Exhibition game isn't relevant, that's the player's call. It's not like Popovich chose to activate him for the Rising Stars Challenge. It's also not like that was a particularly contact-heavy event. Rule number 1 of All Star weekend is don't hurt anyone.
For Sacramento they clearly didn't think it was a risk. Since Sacramento, they do. Tonight is a road game on a back to back against a tough team, and we have a cushion at the 1-seed. The logic for protecting your crucial asset given knee trouble after the last game is clear. It costs very little and could be hugely beneficial by the postseason.
Apology accepted.I'd explain it to you, but it would just be a waste of time. You're not going to agree anyways. You just want to
What an incredible coincidence.
This statement sums up what I have been thinking about it for the last three seasons. We've been embarrassed every time since Pop started doing this. I didn't agree with it back in 2009 and I still don't agree with it now.
Wow, people are talking in this thread like he's out for the season. It's one ing game, and he just played the rising stars game and looked really good. Chill the out.
Ugh
Are you actually having difficulty grasping the idea of consensus changing with the collection of more data, or are you just being obdurate?
You think he looked good? I really thought he cringed after making his first 3pointer in that rsing stars game - maybe because of his knee still bothering him. He better should not have played at All-Star Weekend ...
That's what I was thinking. Kawhi's been carrying a big chunk of the load in the last month. With the Big Three back in play, he could stand some rest, but at this point, Pop is probably paranoid about just resting players for a NT game. Everyone will have some malady listed if they don't play, like the knee effusion. If it were really the tendonitis, I wouldn't think it would be only one game.
Heh...guess we really didn't need KL last night...
