I think the Spurs are done

[keep-itreal]

Manu and Tony are just getting old and not effective anymore.

Kawhi Leonard still a role player. LMAO asking for max money when you can't even take over a game

[poido123]

Leonard has proven IN THE FINALS that he can take over.


I guess the personalities and system around him doesn't allow for him to do so on a regular basis.


He's a vital part to a successful team and impacts the game in many ways. I'd give him max.

[TheMilkyBarKid]

At least wait till the clippers have won their 2nd home game to make this thread.

For the record Leonard probably deserves the max for his defense alone, he may not be a superstar on the other end but he is very solid and efficient. Plus he could become a bargain by the time the new cap comes in.

[Thorpesaurous]

In a league that has become increasingly driven by perimeter scoring, Leonard's defense may be more valuable than ever. I'm actually hopeful the Celtics offer him the max. I'd hope the Spurs would get a little too cute and not resign him. Him a Jimmy Butler would be the restricted guys I'd consider "overpaying" to try and chase their matching teams away.

[Wavves]

Leonard's defense alone could get him a max deal alone, he is that good on that end.

[WallIn]

It's just one game folks.

they rotate too much....teams are starting to figure them out.

they should go all-out for Marc Gasol/Aldridge in the offseason...more starpower

alone

Forever.

They play zone all damn day long.

Get someone at foul line extended and get others cutting baseline and you'll do fine. That and hit your outside shots.

They play the laziest defense ever. One where they can hide Diaw and Parker. People actually thought Diaw was stopping Bron is how well they can hide defensive deficiencies on that team.
They all guard areas on the floor, and collapse high on any drive from outside the key. Forcing the penetrator to kick back out most of the time.
If you get someone at the foul line, you can drop the ball into them, they can face up, pass, penetrate even further or pull up for a easy 15 footer.
Blake Griffin is one of the best in the league at it. Probably why the Spurs are struggling.

If only Konex made this thread.

[JtotheIzzo]

I picked the Clips, but I aint buying it yet, the Spurs have been down and out more times than a two bit who-er.

If their system is failing them though they are in trouble because they play a lot of high IQ, lesser on the talent types and if the IQ isn't giving maximum output they will sputter.

[nashwade]

Pop will adjust. That's what good coaches do.


You hear that Spo?!

[Marchesk]

A few days ago the Spurs were repeating according to ISH.
