I hope Patty starts, and let Parker go up against bench pg's and get given the green light to attack. When Parker is passive, he is pointless out there. And I think Patty suits the starting lineup inside-out game.

Kawhi can forget about MVP with only 33 MPG.
I'd rather Kawhi get more MPG at the expense of games played. I want him to feel how it is to play BIG minutes for a prolong period.
Don't care about MVP or individual accolades. I just want a ring.
the offseason after we lost to the clippers felt a lot longer. to me at least.
This offseason has been long.
well said.
That is all the Spurs talk about.
Well, if Kawhi plays at MVP level that would increase Spurs' odds of winning...
This is a very important piece of Kawhi's development that Pop hasn't realized yet...
Kawhi will never be physically and mentally ready to play long minutes under pressure in playoffs, if he never has the chance to play several minutes and fight fatigue in some regular season games
This....Spurs fans need to cut down on these vanilla retorts they have been imbibing and spouting all over the place ("I don't care about individual awards" etc).....Yeah because Kawhi's 2 DPOYs weren't indicative of the team overall defense the past 2 two seasons....
If he plays the way he needs to play he will rise to be the top or one of the top players, which he already is. It's not something he needs to seek. It will come on his way to own every other team and having to do what he needs to do for his team to succeed. And right now for the team to suceed, Kawhi will need to climb mountains. If he suceeds he will get all the accolades, but the team will also be sucessful. It's different from the empty scorer joe who puts up stats in a bad team like Harden for example, and Kawhi himself doesn't do that. Everything he does is for the good of the team. HoF type players are like that.This....Spurs fans need to cut down on these vanilla retorts they have been imbibing and spouting all over the place ("I don't care about individual awards" etc).....Yeah because Kawhi's 2 DPOYs weren't indicative of the team overall defense the past 2 two seasons..

Very little e and emotion. Super vanilla and cliche stuffout of their mouths.
I don't know how many times I've said in the past few years, but limiting minutes and sitting out players that don't need it kind of backfires IMO (especially if it's young players). The young players don't know what it's like to push through fatigue and learn to perform when tired during the playoffs. The intensity and conditioning just wasn't there during the playoffs. Tim Grover (Jordan's trainer) hates the strategy and doesn't agree with it. I never did either. The only person that should have been resting was Tim and maybe Manu (both due to age and nagging injuries they may have been carrying). No-one else should have had their minutes monitored.
Leonard was an MVP caliber player last season. How did that work out? It doesn't make a difference if we only have one player playing on a high level. I want the team as a whole to be great.This....Spurs fans need to cut down on these vanilla retorts they have been imbibing and spouting all over the place ("I don't care about individual awards" etc).....Yeah because Kawhi's 2 DPOYs weren't indicative of the team overall defense the past 2 two seasons..
He was playing like one last year until the 4th quarter of game 5 and all of game 6. Result, second round exit.
I'm using this
I don't care if Kyle's head has its own weather system, I think he has some unique skills, the tempo of which slightly throws off a lot of defenders. If he can sharpen up his 3-point shot accuracy closer to .400, he should easily be able to average 15+ minutes/game. I don't care about aesthetics. Just give the team a boost.
Well said.
Looks like he never even left, sort of..
Pop saying Simmons is in the same category as Anderson, and how valuable they are to the depth of the team. Hopeful they continue to improve
Pop saying he has to try and play Kyle more, has to figure it out
D Lee talking briefly about how he thinks he'll fit
Seems like a classy guy. Like it.
This is what Chinook makes reference to often I think. Simmons needs to be coddled so much!!!!
Anderson has earned Pop's respect the tough way, still climbing the hill himself to earn it I think. Simmons without showing up yet, has Pop already putting him in the same category. I hope for the dude. I really think the team needs him and Anderson both, but they have been treated in very dissimilar ways, which makes me smh. Anderson is tough, Simmons needs to be babied and propped up.
/sigh
I am wishing the dude the best anyways. I agree with Pop if they don't pull through they will be in trouble, the team will lack depth for sure. There are other guys who can help but they are rookies and will not be "solid"
Now if Simmons is not solid during the season that is when he will get in trouble for real, but it sounds like Pop is satisfied with how he's playing. In PATFO we trust I guess.
