Kawhi is gonna start demanding doubles soon. Harden should feast.

And Norman Powell’s shot selection is shockingly bad.

He fell to the ground like a (insert colorful word), acted like he got shot then got up like nothing happened. Pretty clear to see, but keep going. Tears be salty

I know George got tired of waiting on a healthy Kawhi to be around but why would you hitch ur wagon to a guy who's just as injury prone at a younger age?

Feels guaranteed in the playoffs that Harden will have an awful game after having a great one. He'll give the Clips 2-3 games where he's still an MVP-calibre player and 2-3 where it's just like wtf is going on buddy?

Your explanation is missing some info.

Really liking Lue's rotations tonight.

Just need Bogi, Norm and Harden to hit shots while they scale back the turnovers.

So far it's basically Kawhi and scrubs out there.

He hitched his ride to a juicy contract that’s about it. Dude is done playing seriously.

Bogdanovic is also unplayable. Get your head out of your arse and into the game, dude.
