"Not on my watch"
I believe in Kawhi and know he has the same strength of character and class that TD had, whom Da Admiral had before him and passed that torch with the same traits. Make the most of it and I'll proudly watch you be the face of the franchise moving forward...just don't snub people's daughters anymore.
"Not on my watch"
In all honesty, the franchise can't really move forward until 1 more piece is gone, tbhmaybe 2, actually..
Manu probably stole the torch and turned it over to Miami
Kawhi is more DRob than Duncan.
Oh I thought he stuck it up your asshole which is why your So butt hurt all the time.

if there is ever a time for Kawhi to step up his leadership game it is right now...
I don't expect Kawhi to fully take ownership of the team with Manu/Parker still around, but he should take the biggest chunk of leadership space left by Timmy (with TD/Bonner gone he is 4th most tenured current Spurs.how fast!!)..Gotta assert yourself more vocally with Pop, teammates and referees..an MVP-candidate should look the part..
As per Pop, the torch is up in the air. If you ask Timmy, he is going tell you that this team belongs to KL. And I do think that's the case, what Pop is saying is that with so many vets still in the team; Manu, Tony, LaMarcus, and Pau of course, who is new to the team but an established player on the NBA, it will be a collective effort as it always has been. KL will lead by setting up the tone with his work ethic and also by playing within the spurs system. And, ultimately by having another bada$$ MVP type season.
You should really come up with some new material, tbh. You're current shtick is played out.In all honesty, the franchise can't really move forward until 1 more piece is gone, tbh
How's that? DRob was downright gregarious compared to Tim.
I think it will take Kawhi at least another two years before he can lead a team to the finals.
Would any one be surprised if Pau was a leader? He's been there more often then anyone other than Parker. He doesn't seem outgoing but he's more so then kawhi and I think he'll have the respect of the team from day one.
I'd love to see Kawhi step into this role. It's his time.
But I won't be surprised if it's a team wide effort being the first season without Timmy. Quite the adjustment for all.
Hey Insider has a new article on Post Duncan Spurs, if someone wants to post.
I think Pau will definitely be a leader. He doesn't have first-hand experience with Spurs Culture, but he is very Spursy. In addition to his impact on the floor, he will go a long way toward filling the leadership void left by Tim's departure. I just don't see Kawhi stepping into much of a leadership role.
No way. I think Kawhi and Manu are co-leaders
who are you, Durant?
Kawhi will lead by example, not vocally, not yet. If he does itll be slowly done throughout the year if its needed at all. Too many vets. Its going to be a co-leadership. I think through example is the only way he could lead anyways and its effective because hes such a hustler. If other guys arent following suit KL will just glare and theyll feel guilty.
Well, considering the Dubs raping of the system, God could lead the team and it won't matter this season, anyways. Nevertheless, the stage is set for Kawhi to take the reigns.
I dont believe its a foregone conclusion at all. Have GSW added size? Great regular season team but need size in playoffs.
This is my biggest concern regarding Kawhi. He has the physical gifts and work ethic to do pretty much anything on the floor. He'll be a superstar level player for sure, on both ends of the court. But I'm not sure if he's comfortable enough with people in general to take the leadership reins, vocally or even by actions.
Tim wasn't that vocal, but as Pop and multiple players have said, he made the little gestures to keep the team rolling. A reassuring few words to KA, or LDN after a bad game. Showing Boban, or Tiago, where to be and how to fit in the system. Cheering on the bench loudly to support his teammates. I'm not sure if Kawhi has that in him, nor am I sure he's able to be a vocal leader like an Avery or David. I hope he can do it because I know the team would follow if he took over as the leader.
What Pop said in Timmy's press announcement:
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/17...t?sf30819655=1Other people will have to step up leadership-wise. That'll be a huge thing for us: Who's gonna step up and be that quiet leader that everybody responds to and respects and feeds off of? Not a lot of people can handle that. So we'll see how that goes."
I am sure Pop has Kawhi in mind, but he's careful to say, not everyone can handle that. Uncertain times.
Manu will be the mental leader for a while,
he will the the new big three of Kawhi, Lamarcus and Pau.....
until the new big three jells....
ill not be surprised if there would be a trade in the midseason,
