Really sucks because Kawhi career could be totally different if he didn’t have the nagging injuries. When Kawhi was in Toronto that was literally one of the greatest 1 year deals I’ve seen. I love Kawhi but I truly believe the PG and Kawhi experience is done. Neither can stay healthy. They had a great run and let’s be real if Kawhi didn’t tear his ACL they could’ve been in the finals but it didn’t happen. If I’m the clippers you look to just move on. I think Kawhi do a 1 year deal with Lebron and just get 1 last chip and then both call it quits

It's almost like if he actually played basketball his body would be used to the wear and tear and he wouldn't get injured every time he touches the court. Like you cant expect your body to be ready for any professional sport (let alone the highest competitive level such as the playoffs) if you refuse to play enough of the sport to get it ready to play at the highest level for a continued stretch. Like does anyone wonder why players get injured more now even though they train harder faster longer etc, because nothing replaces actually playing the game. Kawhis body is a broken shell of what it used to be when he (more regularly) played the regular season.

@@LeoorLeonard lmao the lakers are 1-1 against the best home team in the nba, going back home for 2 games. But you think the suns who are struggling with a hampered clippers team can beat us? The suns won’t even get past Denver they not deep enough. You can’t make deep playoff runs with a 5-6 man rotation. Maybe you forgot but KD got SWEPT out of the first round last year. You can look at him as a god but ik he’s overrated and not a winning player without his daddy Curry By his side all you have to do is be physical with him.

@@khaliyl21 with the way booker has been playing, and ad being passive, i can definitely see it. Despite the lakers being a deeper team. Ham just does not know how utilize his players at all. He has terrible decision making. If we had ime or nick nurse or nate mcmillan, we’d be thrashing teams tbh. My two problems are ham and ad! I can see Denver beating us too, because of the home court elevation and ad playing so off and on

Lue forgot that Kawhi is super injury prone and can't handle playing over 40 minutes a game. Lue used to play LeBron 44- 48 minutes a game in Cleveland and mainly rest him during time outs. Kawhi is too injury prone to do that.

That wilds take was such a good comparison really does change how you look at kawahi. I’ve always held the believe that kawahis body just can’t take the nba basketball. It’s wired one looks like he’s 41 instead of 31.

Ty Lue said the reason why they've been load managing Kawhi all year long is to save up for the playoff so he can play 42 minutes.... the moment dude started playing 42 minutes, he spained his knees. Like dude what?

Some of the analysis is spot on . Does my head in when people act like and say Kawhi is just load managing cuz he doesn’t wanna play . He has some genuine problems and injuries that he needs to manage during the season and it’s just sad that it’s this way but people need to understand why he does it by now . His career could’ve been even greater without the injuries

Kawhi's my favorite player in the league and in my opinion best player when healthy. What I don't understand is what kind of injury is it if he played that good in game 2, sits out 3, and comes back great in game 4 for example. Is he playing on some wild pain killers or what? Can anyone make sense out of it?
