dude was limping weeks after the finals... people have super short term memories...


He was limping at both Clippers press conferences too (introduction+media day). It's a part of why the team sat him out for much of training camp.

NBA statement on Kawhi

Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using RealGM mobile app


The NBA coming clean is a step in the right direction.

But it seem clear that if ESPN & TNT (and they're $24B payment) wasn't the one's putting up a stink, I'm pretty sure the Clippers would still be hiding this. At least ticket holders and the networks can plan around Kawhi B2Bs in advance. They should have been upfront about that from the beginning. Bad look for the Clippers.

Goal is to win a chip but let's be honest these guys wouldn't care to be in the Nba if not for the millions which the TV companies contribute a lot to. Don't pretend the other stakeholders like fans and TV companies don't matter. Unless you want to go back to having Nba finals on tape delay

Kawhi with one leg back door swept your MVP. Dunked on his ass twice in the series.

He has a chronic injury. You know what the word “chronic” means don’t you?

Here’s the thing... he couldn’t care less about whether you think he’s a “power puff”, whether his team wins games in November or whether he’s in the MVP race or not. All he cares about is winning when it really matters.

Deal with it.

The guy is a disgrace and equally disgraceful are the Stockholm Syndrome Raptors fans, hipsters and media types trying to gain an in with his sleazebag uncle and him, who overlook his transgressions and endlessly slurp him.

Like the Spurs medical staff correctly diagnosed (funny, I haven't seen a single apology from all the doubters), he has a degenerative condition . . . you know who else did and played on it nearly every game for nearly a decade? Duncan.

It's a pain threshold thing and Scumbag's is the lowest I've ever seen. But I'm sure he'll be made to be a hero again when he sits out whatever number of games he pleases, then probably wins the championship because he's well rested and has the best roster.

Still hurt because of how Kawhi did your franchise? Kawhi was limping in the ECF. He continued to play through his injury and won a title. But keep pushing this narrative that Kawhi is soft. :lol:

How would you know how bad his condition is or what his pain threshold is?

Fact is the team doctors, outside doctors and the NBA doctors have all approved this. They know more than all of us.

You just had to watch the Rachel Nichols interview with Lowry to see he was limping.

I know he left but what he did for us we will never forget. Inevitable the bias is strong with us.

It’s ok. You guys have 2 whole years before Giannis bolts for free agency. Enjoy them.
