Surprised TP said that. One thing to say his was a worse version of the same injury, another to call Kawhi out for getting opinions outside Spurs med staff. That second part seemed more of a callout than the first
yeah and parker coming out and all but calling kawhi soft publicly is unlikely to be the best way to repair the situation

The disdain for Kawhi is pretty clear. "a hundred times worse..."
Making public comments like this doesn't help. And especially right before the playoffs. Sounds like Pop is giving these guys the green light.
I've changed my tune. I hope Kawhi stays out and the team makes the playoffs - whatever seed, and whatever success or failure. Just make the playoffs without him.
Yeah, or else Tony is in for a bunch of DNPs to close out the season!
I think it was SpurPadre...
who was saying it's too bad the team doesn't have an avery johnson type character in the locker room bc someone would have already punched Kiwi in the face
Sure, he was sarcastic, and it was a joke... but really the current Spurs are the most vanilla like locker room... look at Danny going to extreme lengths to make it clear they don't have personalities like that right now... and even they are getting restless with Kiwi's act.
All the same restlessness we as fans have, they have but worse bc they are the ones who are battling in games, playing through their own nags and injuries and seeing Kiwi out there in the bench with an act laughing...Dude doesn't laugh ever under normal cir stances. He's laughed and clapped more this season than he has in every one of the prior ones. It's all an act. It might even be infuriating as a teammate to see that.
Sucks to be honest. I would kill for a Kevin Willis on this team right about now.I think it was SpurPadre...

yes, but again without having any confirmed information, people have already created heroes and villains in this story
Just give it up fellas
The poor bas cannot even wipe his own ass and it is already April
Id be surprised if hes even ready for next season start tbqh
Sometimes the Spurs are too restrained. I wish there was a locker room blow up! Sometimes you got to yell and scream to release pent-up frustration so the person gets to see how much he’s upset his teammates.
Id give him at least 9 months to recover and get in shape. He probably will make his comeback next Decmber
If at all
I agree - just saying that 1) the players, especially Manu/TP for obvious reasons, are frustrated and it’s all on Kawhi (not the injury, but the distance and lack of communication with his teammates) & 2) That along with Pop (who is close to TP/Manu) that this public call out fits in line with what Pop said in his interview which then led to Kawhi speaking for like the first time all season.
I think the gloves are off now. If Kawhi does not think or care about what his teammates think, why would the guys battling together stop and care about hurting Kawhi’s feelings. It’s not on the team to repair the relationship; it’s on Kawhi.
Tony's comments are terrible for the team tbh. Just because your injury was worse initially doesn't mean the recovery is going to be the same. Way to shape an absolutely terrible narrative about the franchise player. Of course he a history of questionable decision making.
Kawhi will bounce back though regardless of the idiotic comments made by Tony. Thankfully, he has support of Green and Lma hasn't said anything ridiculous either. Also most of the team seems fine. It's only players that should be out the door after this year judging a teammate battling a injury.
Dude it doesn’t matter.. all he has to do is come back and dominate (no matter what team he is on) and all will be forgotten. Forget a perception. “What have you done for me lately”. That’s just how the world works. If Kawhi balls out in the future nobody will care about the perception from this situation.
They talk about Spurs having leaders... The oldest 2 hardest working that strive to comeback after serious injuries call out the face of the franchise, an everyone go haywire an say they're wrong!?! Way to shoot down the leaders.
Tony usually releases his "pent-up frustration" on his teammates wife. I guess this is a step in the right direction.
Here is the video of the TP interview for full context:

Listenting to the context and how TP said those things, it was perfectly acceptable and thoughtful answers. It was not out of anger, but there was truth in what he was saying.
It’s not TP being a bad guy at all.
Sign Danny asap tbh
Tony is taking about himself not Kawhi. You dumb s.
I would love to have Mario Ellie on this team right now. Could you imagine Mario calling out Kawhi like he did to Dave and Tim in this clip at the 6 minute mark.
Wow Tony’s interview wasn’t nearly as bad as the tweet suggested. He pulled quotes from different questions and combined them and all of that haha
I understand what you're saying, but Kawhi would have to be idiotic to not realize this already. He grown.
