SA medical stuff
TSpence would be a better source tbh
leonard then, allegedly, has the same dysfunctional relationship with the spurs that most of ST posters do.
Does this fat lard have proof to back this up?
Typical local SA "insider" beaten to the scoop by real reporters
Alright then. Wow, it seems like the Spurs ed up, and we now have confirmation the injury was from last season and didn't just happen during this off-season, or is Don Harris not worth trusting? I always thought their trainers and medical staff weren't that great.
Theyre 7th in the league by SRS, which takes into account schedule strength and margin of victory. Not bad really. GS/Hou/Tor are top three with Bos/OKC/Min in a cluster above the Spurs and Phi/Was/Ind just behind.
Third easiest schedule but still fifth best record in the league. Still squarely on pace for playoffs without Kawhi.
I hope you guys are reading the tea leaves correctly. Kawhi is such a sphinx it is impossible to read him. Coupled with the fact that he never plays the media game like LeBron et al, and the situation makes me nervous.
Kawhi himself said it wasn't an injury from last year.
They used to be, but a lot of the better trainers have been poached by other teams over the past few years. Started noticing the downward spiral during Tim's last year. Who knows? Maybe if they stayed up to snuff Timmy would still be playing.
I mean, making the playoffs in the West isn't really impressive. The 6-8 seeds are absolutely pathetic.
25-21 Blazers
24-21 Pelicans
23-22 Clippers
Yuck.
Sorry to double post, but wonder how much of this is fishing without there being named sources like the Brady/Belichick/Kraft story. Though generally do trust Woj/Lowe more than other writers to back it up.
Heck, less reputable writers were right about the Aldridge thing.
If there’s an issue with doctors/training staff, PATFO should fire them and bring in a new staff vs. pissing off your franchise cornerstone. Lebron has gotten coaches fired, so Kawhi should be able to do the same with medical.

I mean idk. It sounds like they screwed up in this scenario. I don't know enough honestly to know how they misdiagnosed it and/or how hard it is to differentiate between the 2. But their trainers have been pretty good, I mean with all the old heads we get on the team, overall we've been pretty fortunate in terms of injuries. We've had a few come here and there, but nothing like other teams/players go through.
Sadly, maxing out a fat unhappy selfish diva for the next 5 years, and a fat midget as well as a dying llama for $100M/4yrs already did that.
Worst part hasn't even happened yet. Danny G-League, Fathead, and HOTS are upcoming free agents
This is exactly what is going to happen. These are going to be your big 2018 off season signings here and like the Mills signing, this will go down at 12:01 a.m.
This team, coach, and front office should be held accountable for some of the questionable moves they make. They should not be beyond criticism.
Also, lol at the people thinking this is a 'hit piece' or something of that sort. It should be alarming that stuff like this usually never gets out for this organization and this is a case of 'where there is smoke there is fire". Something is going on.
Truth bomb.
The same PATFO fluffers calling this a 'hit piece' went woman beating mode on that one ESPN chick that first reported the Aldridge trade rumors
First thought it was PATFO. Apparently its KL keeping PATFO in the dark. BS.
Fire Coach Pop & R.C. Buford!!
Exactly. Jackie MacMullen is as credible as anyone in the business and people went at her around here like she’s some hack like Chris Broussard.
This front office confirmed what she was reporting. They lie, hide information, and many people feel they’re beyond criticism. Nonsense. Pop isn’t Jesus. They made some bad moves. I don’t blame Kawhi if he’s pissed.
In this day in age, why aren't there any reporters asking the right goddamn questions?
Is Kawhi living in a cave? What the ?
I'm sure there are tens of thousands of people interested in this.
Could be just frustration with his inability to get on the court, but some direct interaction is needed.
I really wouldn't mind rooting for an also-ran that struggles to make the playoffs as long as they play hard and provide some excitement. But the Spurs really don't play a very exciting brand of ball anymore. And some guys don't seem to play as hard as I would like. Then, there's the PR angle. With Kawhi on the shelf, Parker injured and Manu playing short minutes every other game or so, the Spurs have no real "face". Even when Kawhi is healthy, he hardly has the personality to embrace that role. And LMA isn't really up to it. Patty has the personality, but he is such a scrub at this point that he can't really be the "face" either. If they lost Kawhi without getting a good return, then the franchise would be in trouble.
TBFH.
I really don’t understand why some posters are mad at Kawhi for letting his mind speak tbh. I can easily identify who are Republicans in favor of gag laws implementation and practice.
But they are not saying there is a rift because of moves that were made. They are saying there is a rift due to the handling of his injury. All this talk about him being mad at moves that were made is just talk.
LOL maybe the first month or two of the season but the team lately has been playing like a bottom 5 team in the league. If Spurs end up losing Kawhi they should dump Aldridge as well and full on tank. Time for a new direction. No point battling as a 4th or 5th seed for years to come.
