Wow Clips are running it through George and Harden and they are dominating so far. Like Game 1.
Half joking but maybe the Clips are better off without Kawhi? He's clearly not gonna be right this entire postseason and I'm sure LAC by now has practice playing without him since he's always hurt anyways.
I think giving him that huge extension was a massive mistake. Funny thing, PG can still walk this summer. He should've been the priority.
My fear is that George could go somewhere like the Sixers this offseason. Embiid-George-Maxey. Ugh
I think he's the Sixers primary target this offseason. Embiid has the injury cloud too, but you can sell PG that Embiid is willing to tough it out in the playoffs and on Maxey's continued improvement.
George and Embiid are HOF players with both injury history and age rearing their heads. George will be 34 next week and Embiid is now on the wrong side of 30. If I were a Philly fan I’d love it, but there would be legit worry throughout the journey. Maxey is also an agonizingly good offensive player. Yeah - healthy they’d be on par with the Celtics.
If LAC puts it together for a run to the Finals, why not stay?
I don't think LAC is good enough to get to the Finals this season. With Kawhi, I'd give them a puncher's chance to beat the Nuggets. Without him, I just can't see it. I honestly don't think they can get past OKC. Even though they're a young team.
And like I said above, for Philly it'd make sense to go for it now. You don't know how much longer Joel can play at an MVP level.
