Bull crap!!!….we got lucky losing a 31-point lead…. thanks to Luka not playing well!!!….I agree Paul and the beard needs to be aggressive consistently…but no way we are advancing without Kawhi!!!…full stop!
Just have to wait until Kawhi's software update to complete 🤖
Kenny been on some bullshit lately, idk what’s up with him
Kawhi is injured since Spurs days😢
Yes, if kawhi is able to play, let him play . We all know that as of right now, he's not the one option that's cool he could be a good decoy and play defense, just the the spurs day. This is James and pj series. I trust they can handle Dallas the last 2 or 3 games
Keep playing James harden and PG let Kawhi come off the bench if good enough to play
No big zu should get the ball and have 30 the rest of the season, im tired of him not gettin respect just because he ain’t joker, big zu is the key to this series
Glass Kawhi! Go back to your couch Load Management King! You're fake tough and taking all the credits when your team wins.😂😂😂
Has anyone noticed Shaq has been really good with his critiques lately compared to when he started? His been amazing and I agree with alot of the things he says.
Kawhi needs to seed out entire season. These dude play well without him period. Second they can win without him super flow
Chuck is right!
Kenny is so annoying loo
Jordan retiring is the best thing to happen to Kenny smith. He has bad takes and ppl think he’s valid because he got rings while Jordan was chilling
Chuck spitting facts. Clippers stood around when Kawhi was playing and you could tell Klaw was hurt. Clips are in a pickle, probably have enough to win without Klaw in the 1st round, but can't go deep without him healthy.
Bring him off the bench . They play harder on the defensive end when he doesn’t play.
He’s played 44% of the games since he and PG teamed up. Thats pathetic. He should do the right thing and retire. He’s cooked and has been since he got the the Clippers.
Kawhi is ALWAYS Hurt for some reason, Why did they pick him for the Olympic Team, Also?! Mavs will Win but it is OBVIOUS they are trying to Take out LUKA, Like HURT Him when they Foul..Per Westbrook & Hardin..They are PISSED that they can't stop Him!!
Bring him off the bench with Russ
U hate to do it but u can limited his minutes like u done rush all season. Then let him run wit russ. Russ will get him going and easy shots. Once he feeling better up his minutes. Thats if he can play at all. I know we need him but i truly believe if he didn't play game 2 we would've won. When we won 1 i was happy. I felt that gives us room to sit him again. If we lost then he had 4 extra days of rest and we had a chance to win 2 or still one like we did without him. So u chanced it jus for him to get worst and we still lost
Kenny shutup your beard won't connect 😂
This is why Kenny never won a ring or an MVP. He’s too worried about hurting peoples feelings instead of being worried about winning.
Am i wrong or Zubac is still the most efficient and consistent player of the Clippers?! Don't remember a game where he didn't have his way in the paint against any big of the Mavs…
Umm James has been the only player hooping the whole series. Game 4 was the first game PG showed up fr
kenny gotta let that ego go, likes to hear himself talk too often
Kawhi should come off the bench with Westbrook and Powell he will play better my opinion
Kenny is wrong lmao
What part of he ain’t healthy is Kenny not getting, PG and Harden need to be aggressive regardless of Kawhi. I personally think Kawhi needs to come off the bench while he is not healthy
Agree wit Shaq, Kawhi needs to kinda go back to his spurs day he ain’t right yet
Its crazy aswell cuz kawhi ain't even ball dominant
ok need to take kawhi off olympics team. bro has 80 yr old knees 💀
Why dont they bring him off the bench, the warriors did it with steph when he came back from injuries in the playoffs.
Kenny. They can absolutely beat the Mavs without Kawhi. The Clippers are the better team without him still.
The real Streetclothes
What the fuck is kenny on?
Kenny bout to get replaced
I would never offer Kawii another contract. Hes a superstar but hes always hurt. Whats the point?
Let’s give Kenny his flowers and send him home. This conversation is about star players handling a star being in & out the lineup. Let the stars talk.
Let's be honest, they got to the conference finals without Kawhi. This is a fact. PG sent Utah home by himself. Now, for all that disagree, let's be real, there's something off about when he's on the floor. I don't know about the team chemistry, let's be real, if Boggie guards the baseline that Phoenix series is a different story and again, that was without Kawhi. Now look at now, explain how they win two with him not playing and lose two games without him. They play a more free style of basketball. We all know PG isn't an Alpha in his mentality, but his game is, he's hella hard to guard when he's being aggressive. For whatever the reason he doesn't play his best next to Kawhi.
Absolutely not this is Kawhi’s team and he’s better than PG and Harden at this point.
Could we bring KAWHI off the BENCH👀.
Clips need to rest Kawhi until next round if they can close out the Mavs next 2 out of 3 games
Tell Kawhi to play as a 3 and D guy.
