Kawhi is great and all, but I don't think the current 76ers compare to this Warriors dynasty.
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.k20dub said:
Imagine being a Spurs fan and see Kawhi ball out like he did this year and in the playoffs.
Good, not phenomenal. Problem is games 1-5 looked like this:Mr.Bond said:
CP3 had a pretty phenomenal game 6
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?Gigem Trevas said:
Lets take a poll. Who would rather have Harden over Kawhi?
I'm a Kawhi truther who thinks that the Spurs ****ed him over with the injury thing, so give me Kawhi.Gigem Trevas said:

All that matters.Farmer1906 said:
It wasn't a good look at all. Threw up a prayer and it went in.
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.machine20 said:
Spurs should've done everything necessary to keep a player like that, including trades / forced retirements / firing Pop
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.WES2006AG said:He faked an injury to sit out a season. They are lucky they were able to flip him for what they got.

Either way dude is a head case. Great player but he will quit again next time something isn't to his liking.
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.Hickory High said:I don't buy the Spurs narrative whatsoever.

Dude quit, that is even worse than KD being a ***** and taking the easy way out.
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.WES2006AG said:He didn't sit out even one game to start this season. When did he have surgery?

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.rvk246 said:WES2006AG said:He didn't sit out even one game to start this season.

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)
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.Hickory High said: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.

Innocent until proven guilty.

"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.

Hickory High is a terrible Houston sports fan.
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.Truvada_for_prep said:
Why has staff allowed trolling by other fans on this thread since game 6 and after.

Bc HOU lost in shocking fashion. And it's funny.

True.
Harden puts up meaningless numbers in the playoffs time and time again.
False.
