bro...facts over feelings...spurs this year average about the same in terms of assists per game as the 2017 team...when you adjust for pace (this year the pace of the league has increased, and spurs for example average 5 more fga per game than the 2017 team), the 2017 was a better passing team...just because kawhi only averaged 3.5 assists per game compared to 6 from DDR doesnt mean there is more ball movement now...one player averaging more assists doesnt equate to ball movement...you have to look at team assists per game adjusted for pace...kawhi had a game that doesnt require him to have the ball in his hand for half of the posession...nor was he a high volume shooter...so this allowed for more ppl to get involved in the offense...hence the high number of tam assists...
to imply that this team is better simply because it LOOKS like we have more ball movement is not accurate...not only was the 2017 better defensively by a mile, but offensively kawhi was a bigger part of why we were winning than ddr is this year...and that year we had one of our best seasons ever...no one in their right mind would take DDR over kawhi on any team in any era of basketball...a player averaging more assists per game is avery poor basis to judge that by
With the way SpursTalk keep talking about Kawhi after 3months into the season, you would think he was still on the team
Yall need to move the on
The Raptors pulling another quality win minus Kawhitter on a second night of a B2B. This time against the Pacers. 8 of 9 rotation players on double figures.
Durant should go to Toronto when Kawhi es out on his team again, tbh.
Who actually says that? Don't think I've heard it anywhere..they won 59 last year and upgraded..
On the TNT broadcast, Webber kept saying that he needed help.
The usual suspects: YGWHI, bic50, apalisoc_9 under a troll account, and duncan2k5.
This particular gem stands out:
The guy that got to win finals MVP as a role player deserves better
Impressive b2b wins against the Bucks (without Lowry) and the Pacers (without Leonard).
You lost me at Bledsoe is equal to Kyle Lowry. Ibaka is waaaay better than Lopez, Lopez is actually unplayable against the raps, can't defend the p'n'r, slow af and of course you forgot Siakam who imo has a better season so far than Middleton. Middleton doesn't have a good season, ask bucks fans about that. I'm not comparing Middleton with DG. Also we saw what they did against Indiana without nephew.
Bledsoe equal to Kyle Lowry?
Maybe he meant playoffs Lowry.
When are you going to give up with this . I dont even have a troll account. I've constantly said in this thread Voters should penalize him and not vote him in any All NBA teams for the stunt him and his camp are pulling.
Kawhi doesnt deserve All NBA at all this year. Top 5 player, but is way too stupid to realize he's wasted two years of his career.
His lack of committment with the raptors or even proffesionalism is frankly embarrasing. Only about 10% pf toronto fans understand this, but slowly but surely more people are realizing that if Kawhi had any intention to give toronto any chance hed play these back to backs.
His coach even think he doesnt even know the point of all the resting.
Nepehw should really be his nickname.
The guy truly believes in 100%..he believes in the same managment that cost him 100 million
Lots of time on your hands when you've been sucking off the government welfare as long as RD. Paid for by those greedy businesses.
This is news.
They’ll obviously need him for the playoffs but it’s crazy how much better the ball movement is without Kawhi
I did my best to ignore this thread. Didn't post here in weeks. ST doesn't need many Kawhi's threads on frontpage daily.
Then you mentioned me..WHY WHY WHY
I was talking about the young guy who went toe to toe with the best player in the world both ends of court.The guy that got to win finals MVP as a role player deserves better
The guy who's a top 3-5 player in this league and perennial MVP candidate.
Yep. That guy deserves better than a bench that shot 1-15 on the road last game vs Bucks.
A Raptors-less Kawhi couldn't beat a Bucks-less Giannis early in the season. Lowry went scoreless vs Bucks in the 2nd game...What does it tell you about this Raptors team?
Also, he deserves better than players that can't guard any Spur...
Most times, Fred VF Delon Wright OG CJ Miles Monroe can't hit an ocean under pressure against elite teams. If this was postseason, I would add Lowry too.
Siakam is a real talent, Lowry too. But who knows is Pascal is able to translate his great regular season to playoffs. We already know that Lowry can't...
I wonder why you are tying to deny Raptors's flaws...Why do you think that Raptors want Beal?
Because they know they need a 2nd scorer, they know they can't trust in Lowry or Ibaka as #2 option in playoffs.
They have seen this movie before...a single true scorer and a bunch of playoffs' underperformers won't win a series.
What a troll...Kawhi is having one of his best seasons. His offensive game is even better than in 2017...He's having career high in points rebounds...that stuff that voters love.
There are 6 spots for him on 3 All NBA teams since they should vote 2 guards 2 fowards 1 center but you're posting here that they are 6 guys at his position better than him this season?
Just 3 Raptors' b2b remaining in the season...WHO CARES.if Kawhi had any intention to give toronto any chance hed play these back to backs.

Tallking about Kawhi deserves better...He deserves better representatives too.
But thinking he destroyed his career and reputation for leaving the Spurs is so naive...
-Kawhi's 5th in the whole league as most voted player for AllStar game.
-He was top 2 MVP candidate last week according to Sekou
-There were players, journalists, NBA fans that supported him against Spurs' booing
-He's the best player on a team with the best NBA record today
So he's having a great season, fans still love him and vote him as All-Star, some National media are on his side, even LeBron RT his plays...
Someone should tell me HOW his career and rep has been destroyed.
The song that describes Spurs fans feeling about kawhi
Exactly! Ppl here live in a bubble
Games played IS a factor in post season honors. He’s missed 10 games so far, and since he’s shown no interest in playing B2Bs, he’ll miss 4 more, putting his maximum games played at 68. He s already smashed Toronto’s assertion that he would play them after the new year, so there’s the thought that he’s just doing what he wants, and more or less sitting out games.
