    As great as Pippen was, the phrase "point forward" was coined for Paul Pressey when he was with the Bucks in the 1980s.
    Possibly the most under-rated team in NBA history; early 80s Bucks.

    We got bounced in the first round with kawhi as the 1st option
    Horrible take. Explain me how Kawhi was the 1st option?

    He wasn't it in the regular season: Parker 832 FGA 24.5 Usg% Kawhi 822 FGA 23 Usg%

    Tim took more shots in game 2 and 7 than Kawhi, Tony did the same in game 7.

    So Kawhi was the #1 option in what? 4 playoffs games? How he was the #1 option if he took less shots in all the season and had lower usage percentage?

    I don't get this...Mat Barnes is a coach? He gave Kawhi more touches during all the season, call more plays for him to be #first option? Since Kawhi wasn't it...

    3 words. You sorry .

    Wonder if kawhi s are happy, sad or just plain upset?

    As a non player fan of course I'm pretty pleased tbqh we did go out in the first round last year.
    No problem, call it "the Tim Duncan sympthom" but i am just more comfortable with the game starting of a big man who commands double teams.

    He got shutdown by matt Barnes.

    You can spin it all you want but at the end of the day it wasn't the coaches decision to go away from Kawhi.


    But if you wanna go ahead and believe Pop purposefully strategized to not allow Kawhi to shoot

    Of course...it was Pop strategy that Kawhi becomes into first option why he wasn't it in all season?

    Why other player took more shots and have higher usage percentage?

    It looks like if you passed it to Marco who was on fire in that series instead of going with the Kawhi alley oop, Spurs might have won it.

    A double standard requires equal, similar situations. That isn't the case here.

    LMA says "I would have signed with the Suns, if the Spurs wouldn't have told me they would maintain my points and invididual stats"

    When we hear Kawhi saying "I would have signed an offer with other team if the Spurs wouldn't have told me that I'd get more touches to score more points and run for the MVP"?

    Kawhi didn't demand anything about his own stats.
    He didn't say "Pop you should give him the opportunity to continue improving offensively, give me more touches, play me more minutes, or I will sign an offer with other team and ruin your plans to land a top free agent".

    Remember if Kawhi would have signed an offer with other team forcing the Spurs to match that offer, they couldn't have signed Aldridge.
    But Kawhi worked for the team.

    I've said before it's understandable that LMA wants his shots, I want he gets his shots too.

    But it's annoying, almost like prima donna LMA saying "I had my doubts about the Spurs, one of the best coaches in NBA history, the best PF in NBA history, the most successful Big 3 in NBA history, the 2014 FMVP and 2015 DPOY, the shooter-record-most 3-pointers in Finals history....because my points per game".
    Not exactly what he said, but you can spin it however you want. To me it seems that Lamarcus is a scorer, he's good at it while being guarded always by the other team's best defensive player and he creates his own opportunities and opens up opportunities for others with his aggressiveness. If you are signing him to not have him do what he does best, it will be a disappointing situation for all involved. So we should be glad that both Pop recognized that fact and that he will seek to maximize what a big man being paid a vet max Kim him can do for the team. Tim at his age was still producing big time and getting a ton of opportunities to shoot. You can't expect Lamarcus still in his prime to play as a roleplayer.

    Kawhi is a reserved young man who avoids media like a plague, yet I distinctly recall last year he said he wanted more minutes and and an increased role when the media pressured him about his expected role after a dominant finals performance. This year he has ambitions to be an all-star and MVP. I Am not criticizing Kawhi, so much as I am explaining that you can't expect talented young guys in their best years to not have ambitions. The big 3 also had their own career years. Tim was MVP, all 3 were all-stars, etc. They ha prominent and featured roles an high usage some years. They have now stepped into diminished roles out of necessity because of decline. You can't judge Lamarcus or Kawhi based on the big 3 at this stage. My point about Kawhi is not that he is wrong. He should want to be the best and so should Lamarcus TBH. If they were bringing him here to defer to Tim that was nit th place for him. H is a hungry guy an at this stage of his career he wants th burden to put up shots. Spurs were perfectly fine with that because they need that. Like Udoka said Tim is old. The RS is sometimes a real grind and burden. Spurs needed exactly what Lamarcus provides.

    Beli wasn't open. Kawhi was the most open, but the lob took too long to get there. Had Diaw faked to Kawhi then bulleted the pass to Marco, maybe.
