lol no! pop naivness and coaching what put us in bad seeding and we could win it all in 2015 if pop wasn't so soft and passive, he had no fire! ("winning is good but vacation is also not bad" show you all of his mind set) , i do blame him for keeping the team the same at all costs cause you know you have to had something to get over the hump of being satisfied after winning a le with that squed(we could have had paul pierce)... pathetic how you letting pop off the hook, he is full of and he costs us kawhi... to me he is also overrated coach and because of him we were so underachiever in the tim duncan era not winning more les..

kawhi screwed us over but we still won a le partly because of him. things couldve ended up worse![]()
I don't think Pop is great. I have been highly critical of his coaching decisions in the past. I called him out for years when he played Bonner/Blair. I thought that combo was re ed. It drove me nuts when he would go with his awful small ball line ups for years starting from the mid '00s until the start of this decade. I felt his small ball line up costs the Spurs a le in '06. I thought him benching Duncan in game 6 in '13 was huge up that cost the Spurs the le. Pop is not perfect but I'm not stupid to blame the lack of success the Spurs have had the last few years on him.
The last 4 years the Spurs have been ed over with injuries that didn't allow them to contend. '15 Splitter and Parker were pretty much done, '16 Duncan's knee blew out, '17 Kawhi's injury, '18 Kawhi's medical hold out. Pop had no control over any of these events.
splitter wasn't an important piece and parker wasn't injured...
We lost another because of the cancer too. Cost us another le in 2016.
Parker had an ankle injury at the start of that series against the Clippers that severely limited him. Splitter was also a huge part of the Spurs resurgence after '11. Splitter was the best interior defender the Spurs had outside of Duncan. He was also the only guy the Spurs had that could roll to the basket.
long time no see bro.. sup
Truth too hard to swallow? Kl never led spurs to anything. Fact. Hes kind of like the admiral in that respect. Great talent. Could not impose will.
Had kl been vocal about wanting out and why, he would be better viewed, but maybe hes smarter than all of st and knows what fans think doesnt really matter bc hes still getting paid...
People are disgruntled because he doesnt love the organization as much as they do and think others did. If you dont like it, stop watching or reading.
Hes a loser. And unprofessional. No other way around it.
Just sitting back, watching the train wreck. Still attending the CoT.
How you been?
Two years ago, I never saw this coming. Dude is pathetic. You don't run and hide from someone that's paying you $20 million to play basketball. If you are injured and you are the one telling the truth, then why are you hiding and acting like either juvenile or a fraud.
Please go slurp somewhere else, fanboy. You are just too boring..
Kawhi was completely shut down by this dude:

That's kind. The other option is a 40 year Matt Barnes.
I'm doing great bro.. just nervous about this game vs uruguay
No Kawhi is a better offensive player than Klay Thompson so what the ?
If Kawhi Leonard went to the Lakers to play with LeBron James, every time there was a shortcoming it would be blamed on someone other than LeBron James. It would most likely be blamed on Kawhi and his offensive struggles. This is especially true if Kawhi signed a big contract.
Despite the Stellar resume Kawhi has built for himself in the last few years he's taking a huge hit these last year or so with this injury issue and his subsequent Antics regarding the Spurs. I don't see how any team would think they could deal with a guy who feels it's okay to shut off communications with the team is paying them 18 million a year.
I know the NBA franchises are cannibalistic toward each other but they should be more cooperative and turn their backs on players who do that .
French poodle
Reporters will be demanding interviews with Kawhi. He won't be able to be a quiet mute in LA. He's going to hate it there, but I hope he gets his wish. I hope he is in LA.
I don't care where he goes tbh. Just get on with whatever it is so we can know who our team will be. Playing for Pop could be a real grind, and I get it that someone would want to leave, but any job that pays you 18m a year probably has something to do with keeping in touch with those paying you. Benefit of doubt is fine until you realize the guy isn't going to ever communicate. He basically ghosted the Spurs.
So now we know he was hiding from the team in NY. This dude is a cowardly s bag. Buyer Beware for all that want him. Straight Up ..
I still can't believe where this dude was hiding all of this perfidy and cowardice..
You guys are saying he wasn't never any good, but mad that he's leaving![]()
