it was just a matter of time before the clip started winning kawhi actually looks healthy for the first time in god knows how long, but how long will that last?
i think russ is their leader, tbh. but i do think having the team leader on the bench in crunch time is an awkward situation. the harden acquisition really helps them shore up the regular season injury issues, and the plan is just get to the playoffs with kawhi, who's basically been the closest thing to jordan in terms of just winning playoff games by iso scoring at will.
PG was out yesterday. But I feel this is their scheme. Get enough of these wings so that they can still do okay if one is injured or needs rest. If only we were able to get Norman Powell instead of Gabe Vincent...
Crazy to see Kawhi look like an MVP level player again after looking like his legs were shot at the start of the season. Harden looks like a better version of D'lo, which we could've used? He would still probably go silent in the playoffs though.
Meh, the Clippers are always going to Clipp. They could go undefeated from here on out and as soon as they got to the WCF PG’s shooting arm would just fall off, Kawhi’s knees would explode from accidentally ingesting some toxic fungi, and Harden would get his beard caught in a stripper’s jewelry and have to have it cut off and be too ashamed to go out and play bare-faced. Meanwhile Russ would heroically lead them to a sweep while averaging 40 ppg on 50 shots.
So much for the “there’s only one ball” comments the moment harden got traded there… Not looking forward to the 01/07/24 shellacking we’re going to be given.
