It's not like TO is looking to unload him

The scenario was pending if Kawhi left

OK, not that I'm aware of the various scenarios, but wouldn't that be all the more reason to hold on to PS?

smh yeah I gotta avoid the draft threads the attachment to rj is a lil out of hand. I’m still tryna ship that pick to New Orleans.

The first six quarters of this series does support the POV that you need to have solid defenders at pretty much every position.

Almost everybody on TO plays legit D

It has equalized this match-up (or given them the edge so far)

I hope the Knicks learn that by watching this and only get players willing to defend from now on

i will say though this is recency bias. pascal looked terrible against the bucks. he shot 41 percent and 20 percent from 3. and he was only slightly better against philly. that's why that toronto poster was trying to trade him.

Refs are terrible this game. Silver wants to ensure the series goes at least 6 games

I still stand by what I said when KD went out

I'm not gonna bet against the Warriors, Steph and Klay are still Steph and Klay, and while Draymond isn't as good as he was 3 years ago, he's still good

But without KD, they look mortal. They're an incredibly tough team, but they're not unbeatable any more

It was hypothetical discussion.

Seems questionable what wind he'd have, but if his stroke is good he could still do some damage playing 20 minutes.

Wouldn't be surprised by anything, including him sitting it out

Pascal isn’t the type of guy you build around. People on this board love dudes who can’t create. He’s nice but at best a 3rd option on a championship team.

Or as he has right now in Dray

RJ Barrett?

That’s what you see when you watch RJ?

And I accepted that deal right after we got #3 in the lottery :lol:

Idk why but I love two way athletic guys like this. Kind of why I refuse to give up inn Jaylen Brown b/c I think he could have this type of impact.

This is a sad thing to be ecstatic about HW
