Spurs @ Blazers --Wednesday (11/11) - 9:30pm CST

Kawhi has a forearm sprain.

good thing is the Spurs have a 2 days off & they'll be playing against the 76ers next. @ AT&T .plenty time to recover..

[Kawhitstorm]

For listing the only available sf on the market available for the Mid? Thirsty for attention bro.
He was a starter on a playoff team last year..

Except nobody brought of him in any of the posts & some folks thought he was actually out of the league or retired. Muphucka were praying Simmons could be a rotation player along w/ Kyle. Plus, Chinook (the resident ST genius) said he wasn't interest in Butler. That was actually my first post ever on ST:

Pop is really really strict this year. A lot of those things went on last year and the team was loafing around TBH.

I suspect there were many defensive issues though still to talk about, there was a layup line at one point at the rim and as always the dreaded Diaw/West combo got killed in OBoards and and lack of rim protection.
But its like at this point. We are bound to continue to see them together bc Tim needs a breather. When another team goes small/perimeter its not such a big deal bc then they can't rebound either, the problem is when there are bigs on the bench and you need them together. It is a given truth at this point that in all reality West is not a 5, even a bench one.

Yep, i think in part because he has 3 new players now, and 2 of these veterans, who have to see that pop is strict with anyone, so he is punishing mistakes no matter who is making them. So that if the time comes that he has to say something to either west or aldridge he can back up his action.

REally not that exciting at this point considering Kawhi could have gotten injured for real in that play.

[Fireball]

That er. For the life of me I still can't explain why he's allowed to start GTs

when amused does a game thread, the basketball gods roll their dice ... this time the dice showed "Leonard" ... then they did their work on both sides just to make sure

I haven't heard anything about Kawhi being injured. Looked pretty spry after he came back into the game.

We don't know for sure, if you remember last season when he injured the hand he was back and played a game and then in the Portland game, one guy slapped the hand and that was it, Pop sat him for a month.

But really for me, more than anything is that it's a scary fall, so that took the fun out of the dunk.

I will say though, we are not out of the woods yet.

Oh, well cheers then. I was hoping we picked him up. I got excited when he posted a spurs reference on instagram during free agency. Think it was about Duncan. I chuckled when I saw people wondering whether he would make the team.

It was his own fault to, with that offensive foul they didn't call. He went flying because he pushed off of ol boy, and didn't know his own strength.

The more I watch Kawhi's dunk, we're really lucky that wasn't a lot worse tbh. His right arm was really close to having an Andrew Bogut-like injury.

It's going to stiffen up overnight but as long as he didn't fracture his ulna bone he should be fine otherwise he is going to be playing w/ an elbow pad like LeBron did a couple of seasons ago. At least he can still play defense w/ a fractured elbow.

I understand your concern. The hand injury we knew he was injured, here I don't know why people are assuming he's injured.

I could tell that when he hit the floor, he got the wind knocked out of him. Then upon further review, his elbow was the second part of his body that hit the floor which was why he kept trying to stretch it on the sideline before getting back into the game.


Much ado about nothing.


Great orad win.

Who is saying he has a fractured elbow or arm?

[Beaverfuzz]

Best hockey assist was Patty's behind the back pass in the first, which I think went for one or two more passes before a basket.

Dumbasses, Kawhi's fine.

[SAGirl]

Shame on Portland to boo him so much in this game. He really did give them his all 9 years. Class act, no bashing the hurt fans either.

[DeRozan m8]

people actually believing that starting a thread can cause an injury
believing in jinxing
not understanding correlation vs. causation

You don't seem to be aware of the matrix and the way it works yet, I see.

[spurs10]

LMA bought tickets for 70 kids tonight. Still giving his support to the community. As for the booing, guess that's what they are 'supposed to do' like Pop said. Still uncool...glad he lit them up, that's what he's 'supposed to do.'

[DeRozan m8]

Seriously but, if you're still booing in the 4th you're probably a sad sack of hahah
Get a ing life hahah
