Danny Green has definitely lost money on his next contract in these playoffs..

[DAF86]

Didn't work out so well tonight.

The Raptors thrived all season long when Kawhi didn't play. I think Nurse and Kawhi are ing the Raptors over by being so one dimensional. Let the others get involved.

He was lucky to get this far, thanks to Pop.
All that club and Lebron still never cared about him.

Kawhi's legs are gone. He's done for this series. He carried the Raptors the first 2 rounds and he's completely out of gas

[99 Problems]

Mid range jumper was invisible. His 3 ball not working. Looked spent in the last. The 2 minutes he sat at the start of the last the Bucks levelled up. Shut Middleton down without too much trouble.

Why the did Nurse have Danny shoot that T in the last minute? A chance at a 4 point possession, plus letting his best player see a ball going down. The only reason I can think of is that he thought Kawhi was gassed. He may have to sit Kawhi next game for load management purposes.

Milwaukee is the best collection of talent i've seen outside of GS over the last 4 years. They could win it all

easily, they are the team with the fewest weaknesses I've seen in years (maybe ever), their depth is absurd, they are destroying the teams physically.

What if kawhi beats them?

Kawhi is one of the best two-way players in basketball history, it could happen (if Lowry continues to play like a star)

[Harry Callahan]

I wonder how many times the Nephew played over 40 minutes in a non-overtime game in the six years he actually played in SA.

It's been two years since he played in a meaningful game for the Spurs and got injured in each of the last two games in played in the POs against Houston and Golden State.

10-26 looked wonderful to me. Keep chuckin' and grindin' those knees and quads up.

[gilmor2002]

Leonard has gone and copied the worst parts of Kobe's game. I really think a lot of what happened has to do with Leonard thinking that if he can chuck like a kobe or DeRozan he won't have to play d, less wear and tear, more endorsements and "credit" etc ... The irony is that brings his value way down from the two way efficient scorer he was before, especially if he has to sit out a quarter of the season and is gassed after 36minutes in the playoffs...

Kawhi played so much better when he was with the Spurs..

[DAF86]

All those years of Pop's over-resting are coming to bite Kawhi in the ass in terms of endurance, tbh.

[Keepin' it real]

Sounds like a future Spur.

Yep, I agree. And it should be noted he's doubly ed. In the last two series, he got like two or even three days off between almost every game. Every game this series is every other day. No way he's gonna perform at a sustainable level while he's getting 40+ minutes per game, which is ing hilarious because we were told he Load Managed so he was fresh for the playoffs.

I'm expecting a Bucks victory in no more than 5. I ing love this karma.

[BackHome]

And the man still can’t wipe his own ass

[Budkin]

But that game winner tho!

[Rusty]

it's win-win situation for Kawhi anyway. Win the series, advance to the finals for the first time since 2014.

Get swept, enjoy early vacation and get that max contract on July 1st

[gambit1990]

raps would’ve lost by 200 if they had demar instead.

[exstatic]

Were the Spurs perceived of this status prior to Tim Duncan? Would the Spurs be perceived as the best organization in the world had they not drafted Tim Duncan? Or if Tim had left for Orlando? I think this organization has been pumped up too high with “can do no wrong” status. Tim Duncan has been the main ingredient.

Lets propose this. During free agency with Tim leaning to Orlando, would you offer him/his family 1% ownership stake to keep him? I can’t think of many Spurs fans that would say no.

In this case Kawhi is the second coming of Michael Jordan and from a talent perspective, if the goal is to actually win championships then ownership stake should have been considered. That’s if it was the primary hiccup in retaining him.

When Tim was drafted, the Spurs were already the 3rd best regular season team by win %. They are now 1st, and have only missed the playoffs four times in their history, spanning 43 seasons. The non-Duncan teams averaged 45.4 wins and 36.6 losses, for a win % of .554. The Duncanless Spurs would be 4th all time, behind the actual Spurs, LAL, and Boston.

Oh, and you can stick that second coming bull up your ass. MJ would never have sat out most of a season, followed by 25% of the next one. Nephew is a cheap copy of Kobe, who is himself a cheap copy of MJ.

Nobody rested Nephew as much as uncle less. What goes around, comes around, es.

Uncle load management took him out of full games. I'm talking about in-game resting. When you are not used to playing more than 30-33 mpg, 40 seems like an eternity.

HE IS INJURED YOU ERS!

Raptors lose and it's Pop's fault

You can't make this stuff up.

It seems Neph never heard about cardio and conditioning, all those compliments he was a gym rat but maybe was only to do biceps and all that good looking .
You dont need nice looking guns to play BB, all about legs and breathing.

[SpurPadre]

Good looking out, Coach Bud! Load Management!

It's pathological. And often, it's politically motivated.
