Kawhi is great and all, but I don't think the current 76ers compare to this Warriors dynasty.

If Kawhi does not hit that amazing shot to win the game and the 76ers beat the Raptors in OT.......people would be blaming Kawhi for the missed FT to put the Raptors up by 3.


I am also sure if you were a Raptors fan you would be complaining about why is Kawhi sitting for 2 1/2 minutes at the start of the 4th quarter of the most important game of the season.


....but the Raptors won, so all is forgotten.

Lets take a poll. Who would rather have Harden over Kawhi?

Imagine being a Spurs fan and see Kawhi ball out like he did this year and in the playoffs.
Yeah that would be hard, but watching a guy that won their 5th title since our last championship & was finals MVP do well for another team (that is not going to win a title anyway) would not be as hard as continuing to watch our team flounder in the playoffs.

Spurs suck, Pop is a bridge troll, SA has fat women, blah, blah, blah...but let's not pretend just to make ourselves feel better.

Saw this on twitter, anyone know if there's any truth to it...


It's true...instead of "playing games" with Steph, CP3 should have been in the gym working on his shot.

Good, not phenomenal. Problem is games 1-5 looked like this:

Gm 1: 17-3-4
Gm 2: 18-7-6
Gm 3: 14-8-7
Gm 4: 13-8-5
Gm 5: 11-6-6

These are the stats of where you want your 3rd/4th best player to be.

Does this include the year that Kawahi took off when he was clearly not injured and just didn't like the situation he was in or do we get him after his temper tantrum and before the next time he decides to take a year off?

Just trying to figure out if we are accounting for him quitting?

I'm a Kawhi truther who thinks that the Spurs ****ed him over with the injury thing, so give me Kawhi.

Dude has that extra edge that Harden has yet to show in the playoffs. And he's an all-world defender.

All that matters.

Besides, people rarely get good looks on a last-second shot in the NBA anyway.

Spurs should've done everything necessary to keep a player like that, including trades / forced retirements / firing Pop

He faked an injury to sit out a season. They are lucky they were able to flip him for what they got. Kawahi didn't like his situation so he quit. If I were the Spurs front office I would have tried to get some of that salary back.

Either way dude is a head case. Great player but he will quit again next time something isn't to his liking.

I don't buy the Spurs narrative whatsoever. I think Kawhi honestly believed he was hurt, and the Spurs pressured him to come back from injury since it was gonna be Tony Parker and Manu's last year. Kawhi wouldn't do it, so the Spurs took control of the narrative.

He didn't sit out even one game to start this season. When did he have surgery? Could he have come back at any point in the season he chose to sit out in SA? I bet he could have, and they would have been a good team.

Dude quit, that is even worse than KD being a ***** and taking the easy way out.

Yeah if he was injured all of last season, it's strange that he looks this good now plus the spurs doctors cleared him and said he was healthy too. I bet he faked his injury to get out of SA (which I'm okay with because I hate them)

I think that since undoubtedly there are numerous details regarding the injury that we don't know, the player should receive the benefit of the doubt. Same with Clint Capela. Maybe he played at the beginning because that's the competitor that he really is.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Team doctors are ALWAYS incentivized to clear guys to play. They're paid by the TEAM. So of course the Spurs team doctors said Kawhi could play, it's in the teams best interest that he does.

He couldn't even be bothered to be with the team at all last season while he was "injured" and he was playing Fortnite as SA was getting eliminated in the playoffs.

I have no idea why you think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Dude is a quitter and should be treated as such.

"Dude is a quitter because he is."

I mean come on, playing Fortnite?? If he's hurt, what else do you want the guy to do when he's not rehabbing?

Nothing in your post addresses the points I made. You just restated your original post. It all sounds just so unfounded.

Not that this hasn't been beat to death, or that you care, but I believe most Spurs followers believe the following...

For many spurs followers the entire ordeal was odd from the beginning. If you go look at the timeline of events and see where we are today, the picture appears to be much clearer, IMO.

Kawhi was suddenly hurt with a "new" injury and scheduled to miss the preseason after looking salty at full strength against GSW in the conference finals (until the ankle injury of course). So, that doesn't seem too odd that he'll miss the preseason but, what's up with a hurt quad all of the sudden? Surely, that's just Pop being Pop, right?

Oh, wait, and now he's missing the start of the regular season even when Pop straight up said he'll be ready to go for regular season? Hmm, how did he hurt his quad again? What in the hell is going on? Kawhi hasn't addressed anything, but damn this injury must be serious.

He continues to miss games. No big deal, Spurs know he is a beast and he must be ready for the playoff push probably around the halfway mark. The season limps on with still, no real substantial intel on what is going on, oh but here comes Kawhi after the new year ready to take the court. He plays like 2-3 games and now he's out indefinitely per the Spurs this time. Hmm he looked fine in his return, what's going on here? Rumore begin to surface of the fall out.

So, what just happened? From a Spurs follower perspective the situation just got real and has now turned into a MVP caliber player and his "odd" uncle (who most have heard about one way or the other while Kawhi has been in town. And said uncle does not have a good rep regarding past comments and his Lavar Ballish ways) versus the Spurs, who many consider one of the best ran organizations in all of sports.

To many Spurs followers it is more than clear that he simply wanted out of San Antonio. Injury or not, he took the injury situation as his way to get out. Hell, it was probably better his way versus what AD did to the Pelicans.

So, yes, he is absolutely a quitter. But get him in a place where he is happy, and he can deliver performances like what he's doing right now, no doubt. As we all sit today, we still have no idea where he'll be next season.

You have to believe the Spurs tried like hell to keep him and since they were unable to do so, you can easily understand he quit on the Spurs because he was ready to go elsewhere. There was nothing the spurs could do and they switched the focus on making the best trade they could. Every report out there still seemingly says he wants to be on the west coast, period.

Not so sure that is the case. Pretty sure the Rockets "team doctors" are doctors from Memorial Herman via a partnership. And I'm pretty sure Memorial Herman is paying the Rockets for the ability to claim "official healthcare provider of the Houston Rockets."

That would be the easiest lawsuit ever. Doctors no matter who they are paid by are still bound by their Hippocrates oath and the best interest of the patient.

Just flag them and move on. Some people have so little going on in life that they feel the need to troll a thread for Rockets fans on the NBA board of Texags. It is more a reflection of them than it is anything to do with the Rockets.

I don't even want to post the clip, but Chris Broussard never ceases to amaze me with is idiocy. He said he wants the Rockets to call the Sixers and offer CP3 for Ben Simmons. The sad thing is he gets paid to to come up with this nonsense.

Looking at the stats against the Warriors

Harden averaged 34.8 ppg on 35.10% on 3's, 5.5 ast, 7 reb, 2.2 stl

Curry averaged 23.8 ppg on 27.90% on 3's, 5.0 ast, 4.7 reb, 1.0 stl

Durant averaged 33.2 ppg on 43.8% on 3's, 4.4 ast, 5.0 reb, 0.8 stl

Harden went toe to toe with two of the top 25 guys of all time and even outperformed them numbers-wise. Yes, Curry came through when it mattered most and had the best 2nd half of his career. The Rockets lost to an all-time team.

"Next year is our year" is the most overused phrase in all of sports, but as long as this ridiculous super team is broken up this summer, I truly believe we can make the finals with Harden.
