Kawhi couls sign a one year deal.    This would screw up the LA teams ..... Durrant signs with Doc .....NY and Lakers get nobody.

Giannis is great but I haven't seen that closer mentality from him like I see in Kawhi. They could win the next game close with Middleton or Lopez, but I don't see him closing out as the main option in crunch time.

Kawhi has been there and Giannis hasn't.

His inability to reliably hit free throws and threes hurts him

Middleton has been a disappointment and so has their bench after the first two games.

I will be shocked if Kawhi isn't with the Clippers next year even if The Raptors win it all....

I will also be shocked if the Raptors win it all...

Free throws especially.  4/9 doesn't cut it for anybody, let alone somebody who gets to the line as often as he does.  That's just too many points left on the table.

He's been so bad in these playoffs that hack-a-freak might be situationally appropriate.

Leonard is so good

Better than Giannis

If Raps go to the finals, they have a decent shot to beat GSW

Masai looks like a genius right now

The way the raps guards all rush back on defense and pressure the Bucks guards.... but then when Giannis get the ball, the raptor guards are committed to get in his way

Consistently

This is one of the things the Celts guards didnt do. And pay the price with the body to get the job done

I’m not sure it’s his mentality as much as it’s lack of skills.  He pretty much just charges to the rim regardless of who is in front of him and there is generally contact and he generally gets the calls even though he is creating the contact.  Kawhi is such a smart, complete player.  His body doesn’t seem as lively as it used to but it doesn’t matter because he’s so skilled.

As a Cs fan, I don't like Toronto OR Milwaukee, but I find myself pulling for Toronto in this series, and I think it's because a) Giannis insulted the Celtics and b) I love seeing the NBA's pets (in this case Giannis) lose.

Toronto played really well down the stretch tonight; hopefully they can finish off Milwaukee in Game 6.
