When kwitter wins a le, is named finals MVP AND then moves on to the Clippers anyways next year will Spurs fan realize there was nothing Spurs’ front office could do and kwitter was going to make a move to get to LA no matter what they did?
1 more win and Nephew is the 3rd best SF of all time. Only behind Lebron and KD.

That pnr defense, 3pt closeups, ball movement, trust your team. Geez it’s like watching Spurs
but you'd move for free to california? Enjoy going broke
I think kawhi has a case to be ahead of KD
Every game the Raps win, I get nightmares..
As a lifelong Spurs fan who calls Toronto home, I absolutely hate to see Kawhi keep winning and the annoying as Raps fans gloating about their We the north BS.
Kawhi. That's all I can say. He went from my favorite player to my most hated after the he and Dennis pulled off.
I was so hoping they'd lose, but Karma isn't a after all.
This is a exactly what so many on this board keep alluding to and why so many of us are pissed. We don’t have proof, but have seen the behavior of PATFO for years that matches this theory. The injury mishandling just broke the camels back.
The “culture” signings to the detriment of the team are a real thing. And Pop himself said he would prefer Kawhi to only average between 22-24 points a game. Who ing does that to their superstar?! Tim and Manu were an anomaly. With all the winning, Pop got drunk on his ability to get them to do whatever he wanted.
He doesn’t care about winning as much anymore as many on this board can see from a mile away. It’s all about “muh culture” these days.
The guy and his ego have just become bigger than the team and nobody has the balls to tell him to straighten the up or retire. He shouldn’t be fired because of his legacy. But he should be strongly urged to retire.
I root for the San Antonio Spurs, not the San Antonio Pops.
They were due. Bout time they get injured.
Sucks its against Kawhi though.
I've said this before too.
Zaza should've gotten NBA Finals MVP that year. He changed the course of history with his foot.
but it was all Kawhi's fault. In PATFO we trust.
Neither. He's chillin' at Napa drinking some quality Pinot Noir, tbh.
Regardless of what happened, who did what to hurt Kawhi's fragile ego, the fact remains that the f****r quit on his team. End of. If you have disagreements with your coach, you sort it out like a man. Not hide behind the excuse of injury and let your uncle handle for you. Be a man and talk to your coach face to face. Dude wasn't even on the ing bench in street clothes supporting his team. He quit plain and simple.
over Michigan and Pennsylvania? yeah. Texas over everything thiugh
Question: Does Toronto get this far without Danny Green?
If we kept Danny and lets say Poeltl stayed too. And it was just a Kawhi for Demar plus 1st pick.
IMO, no. Danny is a key roleplayer that helped us in 13 and in 14. When he disappeared, the team disappeared. He was vital to our success offensively but more importantly defensively.
With that said, I'm more upset we got rid of Danny in this trade. Even though he wasn't playing as well, it was still a contract year coming up. There was a good chance his game would have improved. But thats all speculation. Wish we would've kept him though.
And I said at the time, the Spurs needed to take Curry out. Old school NBA that little dude was getting cracked hard after ZA ZA did what he did..
Asterisk le anyway. Not like I feel sorry at all for GS but Leonard winning a le against an injury decimated team is an asterisk le imo. Just like warriors in 2015
And warriors in 17 (Kawhi injury) and Warriors in 18 (Chris paul injury)
Just like we've seen in the past, with Championships, you just need a lot of breaks to go your way. Injuries for other teams (no injuries for your team). Ball bouncing your way. You need to be good of course, but need to be lucky as well.
I get that but when one of the teams is missing their best player and 2 of their starters have missed time along with their 6th man playing injured....that's more than luck imo
The Kawhi fiasco is layers deep, but the starting point was what Perry Mason pointed out, and the Spurs and Pop did nothing to address it. The injury handling is the stake that drove him away. I have never excused Kawhis behavior towards the end of the saga. But through the injury mess, something was said or done that pissed Kawhi off so much that he didn’t even want to be in the same room as Pop.
There would have been no point in keeping Green. Pop would bench him in favor of Mills/Bellineli. The Raptors are a better fit.
Maybe in the future. But currently, KD is still ahead even if Nephew win the ring for Raptors
Well said.
It's apparent that the Spurs didn't know what they had with Leonard: a potential all-time great. Leonard is poised to win his second FMVP.
When you've got an all-time great, you move mountains to keep him. Because we may never see the likes of Leonard again.
Preach.
After the finals is over it's time to move on from this saga. Spurs are not the first organization to lose a player of #2's caliber and it won't be the last. They just joined OKC,Cleveland,Orlando,Milwaukee.
The blame is NOT completely off Kawhi. he shoulder's the majority of it. other than that I completely agree with you. KAwhi is a ing , but that ass is Kobe Bryant level reincarnated and is worth every penny of 220 million. If the spurs honestly thought they could pull a Duncan and try and get him to take less, that is monumentally stupid. There won't ever be another star with Duncan/Manu/Dirk's mindset. you swallow your pride and make that got say no to 200 + million
