You were right
Agreed
No more Parker, very limited Kyle
You were right
Not to sound like a Spur homer, but watching him play with the efficiency on O, the intensity on both ends reminds me a lot of a player I used to watch play from Chicago as a kid.
And his name is not Scottie or Bill Cartwright.
I missed that era, but enjoying Kawhi and this one.
Same here.
where does tonight's results leave people like you?
guy doesn't respond because he's too scared, then after the result shows up.
How's Garino doing? Is he a big contributor for the Spurs?
Also, who does this sound like:
"3 assists. Terrible!!!" At least people are seeing its the system that leads to lower assists totals for the PG on the Spurs.
l grew up in Chicago in the '80s before moving to Texas in early adulthood. Everyone keeps making Kobe comparisons to Kawhi and all I see is Jordan too. It's astonishing to see.
Every once in a while, Kawhi pulls a move so Jordan-eques that it makes me feel eight years old all over again.
The team is definitely behind Patty though. He's a great teammate and everyone suppports him:
For better or worseI missed that era, but enjoying Kawhi and this one.
Pippen was not just some sidekick. Well, compared to JordanFor better or worse
People forget that when MJ left, Scottie took that team to the playoffs. They didn't fall off a cliff like people thought they would.
your post was at the bottom of a page. and you didn't quote me. i was scared? nice basketball take.
"People" may forget, but I didn't forget a thing. He was an excellent player. He would still be today. Call me a homer, but I still like Kawhi better.Pippen was not just some sidekick. Well, compared to Jordan

Shhh!! I see it too but lets not speak of it. Lets just watch it happen.
The Spurs' future is bright with Leonard leading the way. They just need to rid themselves of the hangers-on and bad contracts. Eh-hem - Porker. Mills is playing for his next contract and its obvious. I wish he would be this consistent always but he has a history of elevating his play when contracts are involved.
I agree with the youth movement. Bring TP off the bench and move Kyle behind Bertans. Or at least give Bertans more playing time. He's off to a slow start and he has not developed as "In Shape & Focused" Diaw 2.0. In fact, he looks like he's regressed.
yep, Kawhi's jumper is so smooth, graceful, effortless.
The Spurs were much more fluid on offense and more defensively sound with Parker out. I don't mean to say that Parker can't be a contributor; but it does seem that Pop's allegiance to Parker holds the team back.
I wish he had a little more vertical so he could get his shot off any time; but his body control and those huge mitts are allowing him to do things that nobody else in the league can do.
Personally, I'd take Kawhi over Ron Harper, but thanks for the memories
Ftfy...
The starting lineups offense would more than likely be better with Mills starting, but for about a half decade now, this team has been more about having 2 somewhat balanced units than it is about having the best possible starting lineup.
No matter who the starting point guard is, the starters are going to be based around Leonard's and Aldridge's individual offense and team defense (once Green returns).
With Parker, the perennial best bench in the league would lose: Mills' energy and chemistry with Ginobili and would essentially relegate Ginobili to more of an off ball roll. Both Parker and Ginobili would tow the company line, but probably be miserable.
It's not about starting, it's about what should the split in minutes be and who should generally close close games.

Kawhi is so far ahead of where Pippen was at the same age, its not close.
Tonight Clippers clogged the paint and dared the Spurs to take the long 2 pick and Pops (which I cant stand).
Spurs need to set the screen for Kawhi much higher or further out. This would not only take the bigs out further, but Kawhi would have more space to operate around the screen and creating downhill.
Tonight, Kawhi was dribbling into congested areas of the defense, while weakside didnt have to move because of the damn pick and pops.Spacing was just terrible with the 1st unit -- Clippers know how to corral Leonard or the ball handler when Gasol/ Aldridge set their pick and pops. Too easy to defend as the two defenders involved in the PnR can easily funnel the action to the worst shot in basketball.
Or a blowout loss to prove that the narrative was false after all.
