Luka has ankle problem as well too
Man honestly, hopefully not. I need luka to get past these mf’ers and they have an awful lot of allstars on that team. Yea you can say this and that about them, but at the end of the day thats still Westbrook, james harden, and paul George all SURROUNDING kawhi. They been under the radar but silently recking good teams WHILE having kawhi injured
Dude just said JB was the best player of that series?? 2022
Y’all tripping, Kawhi going to go off this playoffs and we going to finally get one🏆
If I'm Ty Lue I would keep Kawhi's status a mystery for as long as possible. I do think teams have to have two different game plans when a superstar's status is unknown. For examples, if Anthony Davis is out, I'm in the paint and attacking the basket more on offense, My defensive schemes are also going to be different because without a low post threat I'm focusing more on the shooters. Player's minutes may also change because the coaching staff might want to go bigger or smaller.
The Mavs are prepared either way to face a Clippers team with or without Kawhi. Yes, it’s an adjustment, but it’s not going to affect the Mavs either way. These are professionals at the highest level with tons of experience. Luka and Kidd are two of the highest IQ guys to ever touch the rock. The guy with the glasses is definitely overthinking it.
Kenny is the voice of reason and nobody’s listening
ANYYYYYTTTHHHIIIINGGGSSSSS POSSSIIBBBLLLLEEEEE 🗣
Nope.
Monty Williams in the finals vs the Bucks was over thinking
Everyone thinks the clippers gon loose like they don’t got 4 HOFS😂
Can the dude in white shirt let Kenny talk without interrupting for a second?
Oi
Jaylen Brown ENTER he's 1st YEARS PRIMES 💪🔥💪
Who are these guys? What is this?
Dyum
Jaylen Brown did not win them game 2 of the finals against the Warriors. The Celtics won game 1 and the Warriors won game 2 going away. What they did get right was the Warriors won in 6.
MAVS IN 6
The Clippers are hot team but their toast
Keep the guy in the glasses.
Maybe keep the guy far-left.
Find a different setting for the guy far-right.
Remove the other guy from any programming he's in. Talks over people and makes zero points.
There is literally no advantage for Ty Lue to tell the media that Kawhi is 100 percent available. Phill Jackson used to do this back with the Bulls and the Lakers.
If you understand the game, this series is over in 5 assuming Kawhi is healthy. In the playoffs, this guy Kawhi is arguably always the best player in any playoffs series.
The thing is, the CLIPPERS probably have a game PLAN FOR KAWAI NOT PLAYING 🤨🤔
Yall need to listen to dude in the Glasses he schooling yall…and kawhi n clips are Definitely playin chess
Kenny is the only one who understands. everyone else is clueless.
I'm pretty sure Mavs are prepared to face Clippers, with or without Kawhi. I mean it's the logical thing to do regardless of the team. Unfortunately, Kawhi just have this issue for the past 3 years or so. And his good playoff run being healthy (ish) was in the bubble. After that, injuries after injuries in the succeeding playoffs series. I think Kidd knows that Kawhi and the other guys are already preparing for the 20th, so tha's why he is already resting the core. No use playing the last game since their seedings are already set in place.
Kenny is completely right and the rest don’t know what they’re talking about. There is absolutely a reason for the Clippers to play chess. If they say Kawhi is playing, the Mavs have a full work to work on their game plan. If they are not sure, if forces the Mavs to spend part of the week working on a game plan for if he doesn’t play… that’s 2-3 less days for them to practice/ perfect the plan for Kawhi.
Kenny right everything matters I personally think the clippers staff tryna confuse the mavs
