Aldridge needed more shots
Even though he is/has been recognized as the best player on our team, tonight showed just how dominant Kawhi has become! I think if our veterans acquiesce, we can beat anyone. Pop can clearly see Tony refusing to give Kawhi the ball thus having to demand he pass it to him...... Time to pass the torch.

Spurs made their 4th quarter run when the Big 3 was sitting down. That was the real passing of the torch and not Pop yelling at Porky tbh.
If only that selfish bas red head passed the torch to Butler, tbh...
I thought the offense looked more like what wins championships when TP/Aldridge were the focal points on offense. Timmy even had a couple of good looks and layups with Parker running the show. The rest of the game was hero ball like OKC.
When people say they like/want Parker to be the focal point on offense instead of Kawhi...
Wait...
No
The best thing the vets can do is step aside....... Timmy and Manu has done it for LaMarcus & Kawhi. It's time Tony!
Posting up smaller players is our advantage.....
Yeah it's starting to show more that this team belongs to Leonard and Aldridge
It's not in Tony to step aside. Just ask Brent.
Aldridge needs to make his presence felt. He is right, this is Kawhi's team...because Kawhimakes it his team. Kawhi is playing like a man possessed and LMA could take a pointer or two from him frankly.
I think Aldridge and Leonard will be just fine playing together. Pop tonight was basically telling Tony to cut the crap and fall in line! Kawhi is way to respectful to the big three to ever upstage any one of them but Pop has had enough of it!
GOT EEM
Is it me or does Kawhi own KD's Soul?
KD is trapped on the Island of Kawhi.
The Kawhiian Island..... lol

Kawhi rulessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I am thinking Durant reaaallllyyyy regrets opening his mouth up about leonard these days!!! This dude possesses that one trait that can't be taught......HEART!
The "torch" was passed on June 16th, 2014, actually. They are just going through the "growing pains" of shifting the offense from point guard/ball movement oriented to a more high/low post oriented offense. Every transition isn't smooth or without bumps along the way, but overall Tony has done a great job of accepting the third option role.
Like El Nono and other folks have noticed fatigue maybe setting in with Parker, though. Parker is under the false impression that he can play ball year round without adversely effecting him, but he's totally wrong.
I just thought it was such a telling sign last night that Pop had to DEMAND Tony pass the ball to Kawhi!
Kawhi looked very uncomfortable while this was happening; almost like he go his big brother in trouble with their parent!! lol
Mark my words.... when he is fully unleashed, the NBA will be his playground! He and steph play to be the greatest to do it; they will battle for the next five so years at elite levels barring injuries.
No, Pop demanded that Tony let Kawhi bring the ball up and run the offense. Which isn't completely shocking since Tony, Manu and (sometimes) Patty usually handle that. It isn't any different than him yelling for a play to be ran or for a time out to be called.
Of course, since Tirico made a point to mention it on-air some folks jump on that fact and act like Pop was "calling Tony out" or something.
It transpired in crunch time which makes all the difference in the world! Go back and look at the body language and then tell me if wasn't an awkward moment to say the least for the two players.
