He has very few actual skills


He's getting figured out. And he can't hit his FTs.

This 4th quarter feels like disaster looming for them after blowing a double digit lead to close the 3rd...

The only difference between earlier in the game and this dumpster fire the Bucks have going now is that they were making shots at a high rate earlier. The garbage isn't falling anymore and they look really lost.

This all goes to show how much of a lead weight Derozan was on the Raptor organization. Kawhi erasing years of Demar's stink.

Van Vleet reminds me of Mr Big Shot Chauncey Billups.

Billups sucked in his first 5 years.

Sign him to max, Raptors decline to match. He's our true max target, not Kyrie.

Toronto is still a one man team with Kawhi, let’s see if the Bucks make adjustments on defense and get the ball out of his hands.


A one man team? Come on man

Ok, the three point shooting helps too

Well, he would probably rightly feel he'd have as good a shot to get to the finals again next year as he would anywhere

Kawhi is the best player in the NBA. I can’t even try to argue against it.
