    Even better at triggering you
    lol at "triggering" millenial slang that's supposed to be "shade". Yeah, he's pissed me off, so what? You're not going to like everything in the world. Being "triggered" isn't a weakness. It's just some stupid, fake cool that's cool to say now.

    This was the exchange:

    LMA: Hey got, are you gonna do load management or are you actually gonna play for once?

    Kawhi: I'm telling my Uncle!!!

    LMA: STFU, !

    You really are ten pounds of crazy in a five pound bag.

    Seriously though, that LMA and Kawhi were talking is apparently not that shocking. It's a player's league and most players don't seem to have that big a problem with what Kawhi did except for a few. Even former teammates. They might have been miffed but it's mainly management and the fans who are rightfully really pissed at him.

    Actually not at all. I live in Charlotte and had never attended an ASG weekend in my whole entire life. It's definitely one thing I wanted to check off of my bucket list. I got to do it since the event was literally in my backyard. The tickets for the practice were very cheap and gave me the opportunity to see a bunch of marquee players in Lebron,Durant,Curry,Giannis,Harden all up close in person. Definitely worth the money to see all those guys do a bunch of tricks during the practice.

    We don't know that because he gives it to White.
    He gave it to white out of necessity

    White was injured too, letsnot forget about that and White is not as athletic as Siakam so he can help in other areas defensively for example from the get go. Kawhi missing lots of games is why Siakam gets so many opportunities to showcase what he's got. If Kawhi wasn't the that he is, Siakam would get less touches. Siakam was lucky in this case. Spurs way produces solid superstars, i would always go with what works, take the defensive approach first and then work your way up, thats the Pop way and i'm all about that. We happen to disagree here but its all good. Siakam would have the same and even better development here imo.
    He wouldn't have... Other teams have superstars too y know... U think Luka would be this good if he was a rookie for pop? The guy would have been in the d-league, easily

    Got damn you're a hater. Not sure I've seen a positive Spurs post from you since Kawhi left. If you're so anti-Spurs you might want to change affiliations. You're probably "cheering" for the wrong team.
    U haven't proven my point wrong tho... We all know it

    I was at the ASG Practice and media day the other day. Had good seats about 5 rows behind court side. A few observations about # 2.
    1. It was funny to see him arrive with Uncle Dennis. Keep in mind outside of Wade/LMA bringing their sons none of the other players brought family members Shows again this guy is Uncle Dennis' property.
    2. LMA and #2 didn't talk to each other for most of the practice until they had to compete against each other in a Pop a Shot contest.
    3. LMA won the Pop a Shot contest and then both started talk to each other.
    Isn't his uncle his manager?

    Did you even watch Luka before he enters the NBA? He was the Euroleague MVP and we have Bryn Forbes starting. Whoever thinks that Pop would not start the Euroleague MVP and kept playing Forbes is just another Pop hater. I don't want to call you like that or anyone for that matter but thats how you come across. Siakam had no accolades before entering the NBA. Can't put Siakam and Doncic in the same category.

    Popovich did NOT start the Euroleague MVP.His name was Manu Ginobili.He had a "wild" style of playing basketball,same as Doncic.He was established with his National Team as well,same as Doncic.
    He was 25 years old,not 19.
    He played in 69 games as a rookie in RS.Only started 5.

    He was dog for most part yesterday.

    Forget the 20+ games he is on pace to miss, is this guy even a Top 5 player in the league tbh? Outside the counting stats on volume/usage, he's looked pretty underwhelming and the advanced stats bear that out..

    Will see if Kawhi has another gear in the playoffs (especially on D), because otherwise a bit of decline could be kicking in for him.

    No he’s not. Yesterday was the first Kawhi Raptor game i watched. He looked disinterested on both ends of the floor, had very little lift, and his three pointer was dog . Honestly, if he had undone the cornrows, and blown out his fro, I’d have thought it was someone else. He is not fine. If he were,he wouldn’t be on pace to miss almost 30 games.

    Spurs were le contenders and already had two massive all stars, Dallas is a lottery team with ZERO all stars, waaaaaaaaaay different situations. Right now we have ZERO all stars(LMA is not an all star, i dont care if he was picked) and we start Forbes, both Gino and Luka would play straight away in this situation.

    In Nephews defense it was his second game in 11 nights.
    A couple of weeks off and he'll be fine.

    Manu came into camp injured from the world cup, and foreign players, especially foreign guards, had an (unfair) rep of being soft shooters, not belonging to the league. Tony and Manu broke a lot of stereotypes and paved the way for the doncic and rubio types to get selected as high picks. Also, even in euroleague no one expected Manu to do what he did, he played for a second division team and when a first division team came for him only luck and cir stance opened the door for Manu to get big minutes and become euroleague MVP, it's really not at all comparable to doncic- at his age, Manu's physique was considered insufficient for the Argentinean league...

    People who criticize Kawhi's defense need to take one look at DeRozan.

    Kawhi is clearly coasting on defense but I don't blame him for that. The past MVPs of like the last 5 years have all been all offense no defense players. KD had no idea how to play defense in OKC. Curry is too scrawny to really guard anyone. Westbrook famously stopped contesting shots and instead went for defensive rebounds. And he was so out of practice playing defense that last year he got lit up by Ricky Rubio one game and then the next he got in foul trouble bc he literally didn't know how to play defense. And Harden has too many lazy/bad defensive plays to even list.

    Nobody cares about defense anymore, they only care about offensive stats. "Hey look the guy scored 30 points!" On 8-23 shooting but nobody cares about that either. Tough guys are gone from the NBA. It's all about offense now and Kawhi has gotten the memo. He just needs to play decent enough defense and he put up his 25 points and he will make all NBA. Even missing time

    $160 million contract, living in LA, missing games whenever he wants due to load management, all NBA 2nd team and all star. Not a bad way to live life tbh. I don't know what happened to him only caring about winning but I think the culture of the NBA poisoned him and will end up limiting his legacy. The dude was seen as soon being a better Scottie Pippen. I wonder then if he will still be seen as that when its all said and done.

    I never understood the Pippen comparisons tbh. Outside of the defense aspect of the game both players playing styles are not similar.
