Kawhi and the Spurs

Reality, the spurs were up 20+ in game 1 of conference finals last year in Oakland before Zaza Pachulia made his biggest contribution of the year and gave Leonard no landing room on a jumper. Don't try to make out like they can't go with the Warriors with a fit team.

BVL, theres just no way that Dame Dolla will put his ego aside to play for the spurs and their system. Period

Kawhi just wants to play for the team who drafted him.

You think that kawhi Leonard and the spurs would let this get out in public? The media is having you all on. This is the same team that has only ever had one player request a trade and the only way we the public found out was through Popovich casually dropping it in an interview after the fact when it had been resolved.

Yes I agree but they also had the best power forward of all time.

The system only works if you have the players to deliver on it.

I just can't see the Spurs winning the western conference in the next 5 years unless they make personal changes.

I think many were saying that every year post 2005. But 5 championships in 20 years at a rate of one every 4 years talks some real substance to the process.

Yes it's nice to have a familiar group each year with the Spurs but are they a genuine chance to win it all?

You play pro sports to win championships not to have feel good moments with a bunch of veterans.

As a Spus fan I would love to see a change up, add Lillard, even if you had to give up Murray and a Vet and they could be a chance to go further.

I think Lillard would revel in the organsiation as I feel he has a deep desire to win.

They should put Kawhi on Ice for most of this year as they aint going to compete with Houston or GSW.

But they do need a big fish. I think Lillards the one, as much as I love Parker and Manu are they taking us forward or there for sentimental value.

Im all for them playing out this year but when GSW start to slide in the next 1-2 years the Spurs need to be ready with some young studs.

Spurs are 30-18 and 4th in the West (3rd until a day or two ago) and that's with Kawhi and Parker having missed most of the season and Rudy Gay missing the last 15 games.

I don't think anything will come of this rumour, though. Given the Spurs history you'd have to feel confident this will blow over.

Spurs in the news with controversy??? Well, this feels different.

Is it possible he leaves? Sure, I mean Duncan was very close to leaving to Orlando back in the day and Pop was close to being fired. Both were very close to happening, imagine if they did.

Jalen [I can't believe it] makes a good point: the Spurs look like the guy in overalls. Lots of players want to win their own way, join a super team and crush through everyone. Spurs aren't like that, they work hard and play like a team with high standards - it's no Hollywood or street ball.

With that said, they sorted out their Aldridge issue, I think they'll sort out Kawhi.

Spurs are 30-18 sitting top 4 in the west and will be in the playoffs for the gazillionth year in a row even with the battle of injuries between Kawhi and Parker.

The Spurs were 20 points up against Golden State before Kawhi went down.

Tony Parker had played his best basketball in 2 or 3 years throughout the playoffs before he got injured too.

With Parker playing like that and Kawhi on court, all signs suggested the Spurs would've pushed Golden State in a competitive series.

And Golden State are the best NBA team in 20 years, on paper.

He's playing for the best coach ever, he's already won a championship which is more than guys like Westbrook, Paul or Harden have done.

So what exactly is Kawhi talking about (if true?)?

A thread on this topic was already done before but technology changes by the day these days!

I am looking into buying a new PVR and it looks like the Topfield is at the top of my list. I'm wanting to know what the thoughts of people with PVRs recommend or have any useful information to share.

Cheers
