Interesting that he's sitting out again tonight. Still hasn't played a back-to-back this season despite Nrse saying Nephew was ready to do so more than a month ago...
it's pretty hilarious... because they think that giving him all this space is going to win him over, when instead all he's doing is strategically limiting any chance of injury (while already having proven that he's back to an mvp caliber player) so that he can cash out in LA this summerInteresting that he's sitting out again tonight.

Still a ing pussy not playing back to backs in late January lol.
It still hurts...Interesting that he's sitting out again tonight. Still hasn't played a back-to-back this season despite N
His stamina this season is the worst I’ve seen from. He was absolutely gassed at the end of last nights game and I’ve noticed it in other games. It gets so bad he takes plays off on defense which he never did before. I think he would benefit playing back to backs to push him through and get his conditioning better.
What is this guy going to be in a year or two? He probably has a chronic knee condition that will rob him of some of his athletic ability and explosiveness. The SuperMax would have been a risk, but I don't think the Spurs were comfortable sticking with this guy. He is not a trustworthy person - neither is his group. Has former agent Brian Elfus been paid yet by the second rate sports agency that represents Nephew?
Last I saw they were still in litagation. According to the case number there were motions filed in November. Haven't seen any movement beyond that, far as I know Elfus hasn't been compensated. Here's the best part ... far as I can understand, Elfus asked for a jury trial over this civil mater, which in the state of Florida they can potentially arrange in 10 days of the lawsuit being filed. It was filed early June. There is no news to say that this case is concluded. It's going on 6+ months now!!
The winning record the Raptors have in games without Kawhi pretty much kills his chance of an MVP this year. I believe they are 9-2 without him. No way the Rockets, Bucks, or Lakers win like that without their superstars.
They are in charge since they pay his salary. Yes, the NBA is "players'" league, but that doesn't mean franchises should just bend over and take up the rear end (with no lube).
There has to be a give and take with the relationship of management, coaches and players. Otherwise, you have a player hijack your organization (ala LeBron both times in Cleveland and Kobe in Los Angeles) and leave it is disarray once they leave/retire.
As this season proves, Kawhi and his "group" want to call the shots of when he can and can't go (with no indication he's nursing an injury). That is dangerous precedent to allow a player to make without the medical staff, coaches and organizations input.
Clearly, the Raptors are okay with all this since they think it will give them some misguided leverage in resigning him. Which we all know is extremely unlikely....
Ms. Leonard still on the rag, out for tonight's game. She better not make an All NBA team, tbh.
Yeah,Interesting that he's sitting out again tonight. Still hasn't played a back-to-back this season despite N
No surgery. Basically missed an entire season and still not able to play back to back.
He's missed more games than Tony who is 36 comming off a surgery for a quad tear. Not that anybody in their right mind would consider that worse than whatever Nephew had.
So he's sitting for "rest" three days after he last played and three days before their next game? Interesting.
Is he on the bench supporting his teammates.
Or a trip to China to work on his brand?
Why is Nephew still faking the injury even though he is out of SA?
he was on the bench for the game siakom won at the buzzer the other night.
I'm honestly surprised he's not getting flack for this sheningan. I firmly believe the spurs were at fault at least by 50% last year but what him and his camp are doing this year is beyond comical.
The worse part about it is the coaching stuff has no idea why hes even resting. Nurse has practiclly said hes been fine and has no idea why hes even resting.
He is getting just elementary level advice right now from his camp. Its funny how the raps fans dont see this resting as a clear sign of lack of committment from him and a clear sign of willingness to move to another team
He’s on the bench.
Holy Danny Green.
This Asshole is going to miss 20 plus games this season just for rest.. ing Pathetic..
He injured his leg during the Wizards game and aggravated it when playing the Celtics because he was the only one doing anything on the court while the rest of his teammates played like and Kyle Lowry shrinks like a pussy ass he is
you're being too harsh. It's contract year. He's not going out there risking an injury for some bum ass franchise like the Raptors
The Raps are so insanely (and understandably) desperate to keep him they’ll do anything to keep him happy. He could take a month off and they’d be okay with it.
Good points. Any team that pays this guy a max contract is nuts.
He is going to get his max contract. Dennis is in so far over his head that he has no choice but to advise Kawhi to do this. Everybody knows that Kawhi isn't re-signing with Toronto (except the Raps front office
We had an insane record without Duncan several times... Doesn't lessen his greatness or impact... Not sure why we look at it any different with Kawhi
So when I happens here, it's pop doing it, but when it happens in other teams, it's the players calling the shots? I see...
