They didn't have any excuses last year, but with Lebron/AD injured and clearly not at 100% all year due to the shortest offseason in NBA history, the Clippers REALLY don't have any excuses this year. They should easily make the finals and win the West. If they don't...I'd have to consider every player on that team a pretender.
They don't? Are you sure about that?

Their excuse last year was they had horrible depth (lou, montrezl harrell) and a horrible playoff coach in doc.
Now they replaced Lou/Harrell with champions Rondo/Ibaka and have an elite playoff coach in Ty Lue.
Kawhi is never a pretender after his 2019 playoff run. Now Durant? That's a different story.
An elite playoff coach in lue?
In your dreams.

You’ll come up with a new excuse when Kawhi blows a 3-1 lead to the Jazz, I’m sure.

Rondo\George\Kawhi is the greatest trio in NBA history when all players are their peak, it's still the best trio in the league today. Been chasing Rondo's ass around for a year now and finally got him! He's the missing piece. Going to squeeze 3 years out of Rondo at 35, 36, 37 years old and win 3 titles. Kawhi\George don't have to worry about running the entire offense by themselves anymore.

Lowry can get you buckets. Rondo can't. Lowry is a better floor general and a competent defender. Rondo is finished.

Don't need buckets, already the greatest offense ever and greatest shooting ever. Rondo will just be the ball handler and passer. Rondo has the same amount of all nba teams as Lowry and has more rings, more career playoff assists. How is Rondo finished when he was just the 3rd wheel to a title team like 6 months ago.

The way I see it:
Kawhi > Durant
George = Harden
Playoff Rondo > Playoff Irving
Durant plays like 25 games a year, Harden is a choker and got checked by Rondo in playoffs just last year, Irving was also a playoff bitch the last time we saw him in 2019.

So you will pick Rondo over Lowry as a GM.

For the price of what raptors were asking for, sure I take Rondo. All the asking price was for Rondo was chicken wing Lou who turned into a dumpster fire this season at -1.9 BPM this season. Rondo has never been a negative BPM in playoffs in his career outside of his 1 seasons mavs run, he's always consistent.

Kawhi's major obstacle was Lou Williams getting 0.2 VORP in the last 1,259 minutes he played. Now that he's replaced with playoff stud Rajon Rondo, we're set to go. Also Kawhi got his buddy to replace that retard Montrezl Harrell, you should know how bad Harrell is as lakers haven't won in a week.

Everyone remembers that. He said he'd leave the board if Kawhi didn't win a ring last year.
Kawhi ended up losing in the WORST way possible blowing a 3-1 lead while Lebron and the Lakers ended up winning the title.
And yet, 3,000 posts later that guy is still posting on this board.
Idk why anyone ever responds to him. He's clearly a troll with zero integrity so everything he posts is meaningless.

Rondo/Kawhi were on 4/7 finals teams from 2008-2014 and they each won a championship after that as well.
A prime kawhi/Rondo duo would destroy LeBron/Irving or even prime LeBron/Wade because Kawhi is so much better then LeBron as it is and Rondo compliments Kawhi perfectly.

Now who's the idiot who told you Wade is in the same league as Kawhi? Even if Kawhi retired today, he still had a better career then Wade.
- Kawhi has more finals MVPS
- Kawhi has more defensive player of the year awards
- Kawhi has been higher in MVP voting for a single regular season
- Kawhi has more MVP top 5 voting regular seasons
- Kawhi is the way better offensive anchor because his shooting and way more portable
- Kawhi has better size and versatility on defense
- Kawhi has a better finals mvp playoff run because he wasn't playing with f*ckin Shaq
Literally zero argument for Wade lol, who the hell is telling you this stuff.

I have no problem with Kawhi. They lose because they are the Clippers. Kawhi's big mistake was going there. He could have remained a national hero by staying with the Raptors, or made a near unbeatable Big 3 with the Lakers.

He already was a national hero for winning a title with raptors, nobody will ever do that in another 1000 years. Now he's going to win with Clippers who also haven't won in a 1000 years. Very smart move by Kawhi and now he can earn his ring fair and square. Why the hell would he want to stay with Raptors anyway? they are a dumpster can this season.
