    imagine load managing for the very purpose of getting to this point and it still didn't even matter. they get hurt anyway. shocking

    Kawhi has it made in LA. Has been able to run the team however he wants. Doesn't have to fight through injuries.

    He's already won two championships, has a finals MVP (or two, I forget), and has had a good career when healthy. He's for sure a hall of famer and he's maxed out his earnings. I'm sure he doesn't care to push himself through pain since he already knows the feeling of winning it all so the competitive spirit is just not there I guess.

    I wish, it was shaping up to be a good series.

    0 chance Clippers win without him and PG13 and I doubt he'll be playing through this or will not be the Kawhi we've seen the first 2 games with this injury.

    If the Clippers somehow manage to win Game 3 no one is allowed to talk smack about Westbrook ever again.

    Kawhi would miss more if he didn't load manage. Allegedly, his knees are just shot. It also could be something he'd play through if George could play.

    Lue really is a good coach. I wonder what he would have done with the current rockets.
