    Kawhi is a different kind of player now.

    The punch line, of course, is that Kawhi never shoots at such a high arc.

    Also, the probability of a ball dropping in from a rim bounce, when shot at that arc, is almost zero.

    Not something you see very often after an NBA game. Emotional moment.

    Don't really trust anyone outside of Kawhi so I think the Bucks could make quick work
    Of course I'm always wrong about these things so...
    That said, Go Kawhonto!

    Just like Morey's math, your math does not account for clutchness.

    I have to say the Blazers and Raptors 2nd round series were more competitive than the Worriers saga even.

    Just stick Giannis on Kawhi all series and make it hard for him and Bucks can take this easy.

    I am looking forward to the Giannis vs Kawhi battle.

    The two best two-way players going at it.

    Giannis just has a better team around him and that will decide the series.

    PS. Would have liked Lebron still to be in the East. Lebron used to bully the Raptors but this year would have been a different outcome. Lebron cant bully Kawhi. Lebron used to struggle against Kawhi in the finals during Heat vs Spurs finals.

    Kawhi is the closest player to Jordan since Kobe.

    Watching him play now I think Kawhi is currently the best player in the league.

    Let's not forget Sixers have 3 all stars on their team including Jimmy B and Embiid he has Lowry who is a perpetual choker and Marc Gasol who is about to be as washed up as his older bro.

    Sad to say I think he is better than Harden, he never fcks up end game like Harden does. How tragic is it he was handed to the Rox on a silver platter yet Morey chose baby Melo?

    Too bad ESPN didn't have this game to check in on Michelle (& rest of Spurs Nation...)

    Agreed, Embiid played like a scrub though, biggest choker of the year in the playoff for me, got owned by man boobs.
