Popovich infuriates his audience and asks them to stop booing Kawhi Leonard

The Spurs-Clippers game had some really great moments, but it was completely lifeless during the game. greg popovichThe San Antonio Spurs coach was the star of the day when he asked his fans to stop booing and whistling at Kawhi Leonard, now a member of the Clippers. .

“Excuse me for a second. Can we stop booing and let these guys play? Let’s teach a lesson. This is not us. No more booing,” said a visibly upset Popovich.

His message was not well received by the Texans, who booed him and even booed his rivals, resulting in San Antonio winning 102-109.

The root of the boos that intensified due to Kawhi was his departure from the team. Leonard won the NBA championship with the Spurs in 2014, but left in 2018 to join the Raptors, who won the championship in 2019. Since then, Leonard, a California native, has been considered a character figure by many Spurs fans. It’s obvious that pop doesn’t like that.

The Clippers added their third consecutive NBA win, led by Kawhi, who had 26 points, four rebounds and four assists, the most outstanding performance on a team that is starting to take off.

It was quite the opposite for the Spurs, who finished last in the Western Conference (3-12) and lost 10 straight games despite Wenbanyama’s 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 assists.
