Westbrook going off is literally the worst thing for the Clippers. His ego being fed right before the playoffs.

I've seen enough, Clippers are losing in the 1st round :lol

Kawhi sometimes sits b2b's, he doesnt just sit random games.

Another game Kawhi's team wins without him. Reminds me of when they made the conference finals without him after blowing a 3-1 lead with him the year before.

Grizzlies are missing their 2 best players in Bane and JJJ, tbf to them.


But Westbrick going off in a game they want to lose so they can avoid the Suns is par for the course. :oldlol: Plays well when you least need it, just a cancer in every sense of the word. Takes pride in it I think.

The cancer on a vet minimum deal isn't knocking anything out except his own team. Lakers turned into championship contenders pretty much overnight after his departure

Nice the Clipps have managed to be 8-8 with him though. .500 ain't too bad, it's far better than the Nets record without KD. :oldlol:

He was actually good with just Bran on the court but Bran + AD wasn't a great fit with the lack of shooting between the 3 of them, they'd have needed a Klay or Hield type shooter off the ball but instead had Bev, Nunn, Walker etc who were mediocre to bad even when left wide open.

I'm not surprised to see him flourish on the Clippers with all that shooting around him, and it looks like Lue is finally figuring out the rotations and playing more Batum & RoCo and less Morris down the stretch which is a great sign if you're rooting for them. PG & Kawhi can both play without the ball so there's no issues with fit there. It's safe to say that getting Russ was the right move for the Clippers with how bad Reggie Jackson has looked in Denver.

Thats why you said Kawhi is missing games "cause Kawhi", not "cause injured".

Clearly you don't understand that Leonard is never healthy just like you didn't know that George hurt his knee or apparently understand that Leonard had missed hundreds of games due to his poor health. To you its all one big mystery. Because you're an idiot. People that live in reality have an easier time comprehending that a healthy player doesn't miss multiple whole seasons.

Oh, Leonard missed last nights game cause he's injured?

So he won't play tomorrow, right?

Do you think he got injured against Chicago? I must have missed it on the stream.

Real Men Wear Green

He is always injured and thus always liable to miss a game. We never know when he will be out. It's what drove the Spurs crazy, why the Raptors didn't play him for 20 games (or something), why he has missed one and a half seasons with the same injury that most players come back from after one season. In not going to say he's soft I don't know what his body feels like but he has a known history of missing a lot of games trying to maintain his body.

Leonard has a degenerative ligament disease in his knees similar to what D-Wade had he's the only player I give a pass to because when he tried to come back early with the Spurs he couldn't play at the level he wanted so he sat some more

First off congratulations, in one post you were able to offer something of substance/explanation, that the mod clown couldnt in 10.

But I still dont see why that would randomly make him miss 3 regular season games this year, that werent b2b's.

Whats the science/medical advice behind that?

So yeah, dont play b2bs, and 3 games this year that arent b2bs, we should prevent you from playing also..

that makes no sense.

degenerative diseases dont automatically mean you should rest more.


Nadal has a bigger degenerative issue than Kawhi from a much earlier age, and he always played played played...

match played and practiced as much as he could.

And he's still goint today.

So idiots like existence is pain or asian guy might be satisfied with that explanation, but im not.

FYI we have been hearing about the alleged degenerative knee for years. But more importantly we have known that Leonard had ongoing injuries that require extra maintenance for years. Everyone knows this. Well except for you. Because you're special.

You have this bad habit of looking dumb (well, being dumb) and lashing out when you have no point to make. I don't take it as a proven fact that Kawhi Leonard has a degenerative knee condition because it's something I first read Shogon Ramel post but I've never seen that diagnosis confirmed by anyone official. I do think it's possible, even likely. But I stick to what I know for sure which is that Leonard had missed a lot of games. Possibly more than anyone else over the last 5 years maybe Zion Williamson misses more. You somehow ţake that to mean I don't know what a degenerative knee is. And you do this for the same reason that you don't get how Paul George is not playing. Because you're an idiot.

So idiots like existence is pain or asian guy might be satisfied with that explanation, but im not.

I don't know the science behind it and it's all speculation. What we do know is that he felt the Spurs medical staff misdiagnosed him and he went to get a second opinion because he felt more pain/discomfort than normal. He could have a suspected degenerative tendinopathy which means overuse of the tendon and results in celluar death.

https://www.3cbperformance.com/2019/12/10/kawhi-leonard-knee-injuries-load-management/

Some good speculative info here

For Kawhi it's about pain/comfort management and don't forget if you are in pain and overcompensate by overloading the opposite leg then that can blow out on you as well. Happened to a friend of mine in college. He played basketball, tore his ACL on his right leg, came back 10 months later, played basketball casually, then after 2-3 months he tore his ACL on his left.

But most importantly of all this isn't about Kawhi being unable to play or not. This is about him being able to play at the highest level. I'd rather get a 100% Kawhi 15 games out of the year (post season) than a 75% or a 70% one that played over 60 regular season games

He's not Ben Simmons out here

Scared of the Suns?
Wouldn't say scared, just pragmatic. Wiggins may not come and if he does, he'll be way out of sync for the playoffs. GPII is finally back to playing ball after missing months with injury issues (he's played maybe 20% this entire season). Playing the Kings would be a lot easier than going vs the main 4 Suns guys.

Also you don't want to go through the grinder for 4 series in a row, you'd want an easier path for a chance at the chip (though without Wiggins, I'd say Warriors have less than 1% to win it).
