****, that's it
That's kind of what Pop has been saying the whole time.

So now that the spurs org and the city of SA have turned on kawhi I think it's safe to say he's gone ?
I think the Spurs organization is frustrated. but I also think that the players still have his back, at least most of them. The front office is probably the same. I think every single thing being said about Kawhi is being analyzed to the nth degree so it seems like the team is done with him, but in reality they aren't saying anything different than they have for the last month or so. I think guys like Tony and Manu are probably the most frustrated, but on the flip side, Danny and Pau have come out with supportive words.
The city is steeling themselves for him to leave, but I think everyone will embrace him if he signs a long term deal and stays. I just think that everyone won't be shocked if he leaves at this point.
The latest from Express News.
Quote:
Though some are undermining Leonard's motives, sources tell the Express-News his medical staff still have yet to clear the 26-year-old two-time Defensive Player of the Year, recommending he continue to sit out.
In collaboration with Spurs officials, Leonard followed through with a plan to travel back East earlier this month in hopes of receiving clearance to return to. But though progress is noticeable, doctors Leonard sought for a second opinion about his quad injury are still not ready to approve his return to play with the feeling he needs additional rehab under their supervision.
Though national reports suggest Leonard and his camp decided to leave the team, sources told the Express-News the Spurs also suggested Leonard remain in New York to rehab following his routine checkup from doctors.
Leonard also continues to be monitored by two team officials while away in New York, and he's provided the Spurs with constant updates on his status since being sidelined once again since Jan. 15 before the Spurs played the Atlanta Hawks.
Random thoughts I'm having today:
-Who the hell is in Kawhi's "group"? I have a hard time believing they have Kawhi's best interest as their main priority and not what will also benefit the "group" the most. The Spurs were a 60 win team in the Western Conference Finals with Kawhi, and would always be willing to try and add pieces around him to put him and the team in position to win. They've also always been an organization that takes great care of keeping players healthy, so I have a really hard time believing that the Spurs medical staff would clear him when he's not ready to go.
-How much has this fiasco cost the Spurs in potential trades? Kawhi is still under contract, so it's not like we have to get rid of him asap or get nothing in return, but at the same time we can't let a guy of his caliber go for peanuts. Are teams willing to give up bigger pieces/picks for a guy that's turned into a head case?
-If it does come down to having to trade Kawhi, how does PATFO grade out the guys projected to go at the top of the draft? Ayton, Bagley, and Doncic look like guys that have future all star talent and Porter has the reputation of that kind of talent, although we weren't able to see it this season. Would a team like Phoenix be someone they'd try and target to get their (potential) #1 pick?
-What happens with Kawhi has a huge effect on how the Spurs approach the draft. if Kawhi signs an extension and comes back, we're probably staying put at 18. If Kawhi isn't coming back, we're definitely looking to move up imo.

9:30 games are the absolute worse

I'm probably going to record and watch in the morning.
I miss Tim Duncan.
Well, the Spurs will be wearing their special, colorful sneakers in honor of Fiesta week Thursday at home. 
Gig 'em Aggies!
Gig 'em Aggies!
That's about the best thing that will come of these playoffs.
Los Spurs Por Vida!
I've never seen a team struggle to make so many open shots more than this Spurs team.
Patty is worthless.
Patty is 1/6
Pop is just putting him in, hoping he'll catch fire. But it's just not going to happen.
Gay is playing well tonight. And patty blows the easy layup.
Pretty good half
Well that went much better than anticipated
Now I have to stay up.
Dammit
I hope when I take my 3 am pee the game is over

Take Mills' ass out of the game. Two straight turnovers.
well, this is a ****ty start.

The ball needs to be in Manu's hands at all times.
Everyone knows the Warriors comes out strong right after halftime. Do the Spurs not know that?
What a freaking awful start to the second half
How is it possible to be this bad at shooting?
this got ugly real quick
Props to the guys for fighting
And LaMarcus just dominating down low
Feed that man
