Pop's greatest talent does seem to be in developing coaches.
Certainly agree on that. It isn't the same Kawhi who battled LeBron and others in earlier seasons. Especially, not the same legs. Not yet, anyway.Agreed. Anderson was able to stay in front of Nephew pretty damn well.
But, then again, while Anderson deserves credit, it's also telling that Nephew wasn't quick enough to blow by Anderson. The 2017 version of Nephew would have ate Anderson's lunch, tbh.
Yeah I'm still wondering..
For me part of what made Kawhi special was that while he's not particularly great involving others, he was almost unstoppable. He still got it but seems to have lost a step. Sometimes he looks like forcing his offense and seems to complain about fouls more.
I'm giving it time.
It was a great game. Grats to the Raptors they look legit... they are a really good team. Here's Kyle on defense:
How was it that Kyle was able to stay in front of Kawhi but couldn't stay in front of a No achilles having Rudy Gay? If Pop wasn't such a dumb ass and would have fed Rudy in that Grizzlies game we would have won and Rudy would have dropped 30 on Kyle.
minute 9:58 he is asked about Kawhi/Pop/the team expectations last season, the team meeting etc.
Well , give us the details.
Yes. Tell us.
Kyle is pretty funny as a matter of fact. I am just listening to it now. I discovered it doing a search for Kawhi/Kyle trying to look up a video of them greeting each other in that game. I didn't find it but found that podcast. It's pretty funny. There is no beef or beans spilled IMO. He's very respectful of the Spurs, but he really, really glowed talking about his former teammates. It looks like he really enjoyed the team, and benefitted a lot from the veterans not just as a player, but as a person. Good interview.
Kyle was pretty average. Therefore better than many on the current roster.
By all accounts KL should have played his contract out. Demanding a trade, holding the team hostage while he camps out in NYC is chicken . I don't care if he had a real injury or not, keeping it under wraps and playing poker with his own franchise is chicken . There's no way around it.
oh so he's finally going to play in China?
/sigh.... if you listened to it you'd know. He's got chinese heritage. His mother is half chinese. Bucher asks him if he looked up possibilities to play for China in international tournaments. He said he looked into it actually bc he was really interested but the Chinese don't play dual citizens in their international team.
I didn't think it was an honest question, but might as well give the answer.
There no argument about it nuff said. I dont care about Lawhi but dude held out with no response then his bull interview for the first time in months and having spew from his mouth with every word he said. I don't know what when on in the back ground but he bailed and he bailed hard
I'm listening right now. I never knew he was chinese. Always thought it was a running gag to say he should go play in China. I'll admit he transformed himself into a very good defender, but I still think he has more potential on offense if he would just be aggressive
you have a good point on that. I thought the same.
Okay, I listened to some of it. I heard that Bucher character channeling his inner valley girl. I heard Kyle saying nothing.
What did I miss?
So the ty athleticism comes from the Chinese genes? Makes sense.
So maybe I've been doing this internet message board thing way too long, but I'm starting to think all these accounts continuing to support Leonard are probably the same users. That and other particular shared viewpoints are way too coincidental.
I find it impossible to believe any Spurs fan who didn't begin his fandom due to Leonard could still view him favorably.
To an even objective observer Leonard's 2017-2018 disappearing act was as bizarre and indefensible as anything seen in recent sports history. No hyperbole intended.
Peak Rudy Gay was a freak athlete. And despite missing a step these days, he's still more explosive than Nephew.
