Also, I wonder if his hands are too big to become a consistent shooter.
Kawhi has done well
I thought of this as well but it looks like it's going off of his palm. High 70s FT% is encouraging though.

Yeah it's growing more and more apparent that he has a lot to learn. He's physically gifted and he a pretty high IQ for his age. But he's so young he hasn't quite grasped how dominant he could be even now. He allows himself to get walled off by much smaller players really easily. As soon as he learns that he'll get calls if he's more aggressive then this will really start to click.Enzo The Baker said:Ag Natural said:He's going to struggle against teams like the Clippers.

I forget that Victor is only 19. I think yesterday was his worst game by far. He really struggled to make reads and decisions on both sides. As skilled as he is, it's going to take him a long time to figure it out.
For sure. But it was beyond physicality to me. Obviously the Clippers defense was 100% focused on stopping Victor but just some of his decisions on offense, like missing wide open lanes to drive and settling for fading jumpers over guards, and on defense like biting on pump fakes and sinking in when he shouldn't. Those kinds of things that he will get better at over time.
So it seems that we will have temper our expectations for this season. I saw us as an almost .500 squad but we're not there yet
we play a Wish dennis rodman at Point Guard- 20 wins will be an achievement -
LOL they didn't address ****
Oh wow Pop admonishing the crowd for booing kawhi.
I like Pop, but this was stupid.
Um. Wow.

Showed some grit and got a 17 point deficit down to 6 at the half. Now we need to not have a third quarter let down.
He gotta go
It's annoying when the fans boo every time Kawhi touches the ball. Get over it. It makes you look petty.
On the other hand, not sure why Pop did that. Say that in the post game conference.

Look, this game is first and foremost an entertainment product. We ain't here to get fresh air and exercise.
Coach Pop, I love you dearly but the product you've put on the floor is just pure ass. It's a flaming garbage barge. It's not entertaining, it's giving me buyer's remorse about my NBA league pass.
Fans want to react to things, positive it negative. Give them something positive to react to.

BOOOOOOOOO
I didn't mind the boos when he came back after he left the Spurs, I expected it but it's been 5 years. Kawhi averages 25 points against the Spurs. The current most out of active players. I'm not saying don't boo him at the free throw line, boo every opponent at the line. Doesn't seem the boos are working but only fuels him when he plays in SA.
Spurs desperately needs a point guard or a veteran on this team. Wemby needs to be in the paint or get the ball while posting up. I don't like he gets the ball at the 3 point line then tries to post inside or rushes the 3 point shot.

I love Pop. But Kawhi is a punk and he'll never be welcome in San Antonio. He bailed on this team in the most wussified way possible. The guy is complete trash as far as I'm concerned. However, I obviously don't know Kawhi personally. Pop does, so I get his viewpoint.
That being said, unless Kawhi actually shares his opinion publicly we will have to go with what his actions tell us. He is a disloyal punk and deserves to be booed.

**** Kawhi. Boo him for eternity.
Pop did sound like a ridiculous old man though. We get it Pop, it's easy for you to be forgiving when you have 5 rings and tens of millions in the bank. We fans don't. **** Kawhi.

This is well said! Agreed. Fans have every right to boo in this instance. What Kawhi did to the Spurs in his final stretch here was a straight up fleecing.

Chef's kiss.
Pop complains about Alamo Heights giving time off for Columbus Day. He is soft. Wants fans to cheer when Kwahi roasts us? Pathetic
Fans have been booing opposing players since the beginning of time. In every time. If you are asking your fans not to do it you have no business in sports anymore.
Or China bought your ass.
Either way, highway six is that way.

Pop is everything wrong with entertainment figures.
Happy Thanksgiving to Spurs everywhere... Minus Pop. Adios, mofo.
Normally wouldn't post on another teams thread, but wanted to say that I have always been a big Pop fan. Im sad to see his career end like this - he needs to retire and Kawhi deserves some booing, but how can you not love a coach who has his guy's back like that?
Kawhi isn't his guy anymore. The fact that he is standing up for a guy who shafted the whole franchise speaks volumes. Pop's priorities aren't in the right place. Time to move on. I say this as someone who generally likes Pop. Obviously we all appreciate what he has done for the Spurs, but he's out of touch.
Pop is a self-important condescending *****. **** him.
He's an embarrassment to himself at this point. This is pathetic beta stuff.
Anyone who makes 16 million per year is out of touch with the people who pay their salary.
yeah thinking maybe it's time for him to retire even though he's been fantastic foreverChipotlemonger said:

He's still a great coach and mentor to young players. He's definitely out of touch with fans. But who cares? His main job is to teach these guys how to play basketball.
BTW, I just watched Pops presser. He basically said Kawhi seems to play better when he gets booed. The stats will tell you that's true. He kills the Spurs. Maybe if we all cheer for him he'll start missing shots

This seems like sarcasm I'm guessing. Anyways, he hasn't been "fantastic" forever. We've had some rough few years as of late.
It's been 9 years since the last championship. Could have fired at least two coaches in that time. Pop needs to go.
I guess I wouldn't be bummed if he was let go. Was great for a long time for real but may be time for a change
