Clips two wins came without Kawhi. They might move on to the next round if he keeps getting ruled out.
The hottest of takes...

Even though Kawhi has been injured quite a lot since Zaza Pachulia injured him, Toronto should build a statue of Kawhi. He brought the one and likely only championship for many years to come to the franchise. Many franchises and their fans can only dream of getting a championship. Toronto actually got one thanks to him.

As for Balmer and the Clippers, money wise are doing just fine.

Nah, we'll pass on building a Kawhi statue in Toronto.
