strides out the door of the plane to Toronto
Tony doesn't play 40 minutes a night because Pop is not Tom Thibodeau, a guy who overplays his stars and causes chronic injuries and ACL tears at a pretty alarming rate.
Tony is also not Lebron James or Jimmy Butler; he's a short and skinny PG who while fast is not particularly athletic or able to consistently play ridiculous minutes. Plus, the dude is 31.
Tony getting severely injured is also the end of the spurs playoff hopes. That can't be allowed to happen. In the finals, we saw what happens when Tony has to play injured. He doesn't play particularly well.
As for Boris, he's no more a center than Dejuan Blair is a center. And while I like Boris's game, I don't know if his conditioning would support playing 30MPG. Further, moving Splitter out of the starting lineup now is pretty much totally out of the question given the defensive success of the Tiago-Tim tandem.

CoJo has been given every opportunity to take the job, and he hasn't done much with it. How much more time and "development" does he need?
Pre-mature
If he hasn't done it in preseason against training camp fodder after 3 years in the spurs system, why would anyone expect him to turn it around during the regular season against real players?
If he hasn't figured it out by now, he's not going to.
Dude is gone after this year and should have a great career overseas...
But, tbh, pulling the "Pop hates the French" card has been one of the more entertaining troll jobs on here recently.
I keep waiting for him to bust to another level, but he does not have it. Even with George Hill we saw flashes of a good player from early on. With Cory, it's been the same thing since he came into the league.
Solid D. Leadership skills. Not much else.
