This has been obvious for weeks lol, I don’t know why everybody and their mother was coping here

I do think he’ll play at some point but will be nowhere near 100%

Paul George said “he’s hopeful that Kawhi is available to play at some point in the series”
Doesn’t sound overly confident

Don’t underetsimate the Clips without Kawhi. They still a really good team without him. If they get hot from 3 watch out.

Dont like this, absolute must win tomorrow, losing against the Clippers without Kawhi would be backbreaker

Doesn’t assuage my anxiety one bit. Harden singlehandedly won a playoff game last season without Embiid. Clippers have the pieces to win a game without Kawhi.

I would still plan as if he’s going to play. We should not count this team as an easy out.

[Me] Increasing doubt about the likelihood the Dallas Mavericks lose playoff series vs. Clippers in first round.

Trying not to be a downer but this team has always struggled to get up for injured opponents- hopefully it’s different for the playoffs

It’s really simple. They won’t do a decoy strategy with him. If he is 100% (he and his camp feel like he’s 100%) he will play. Anything less than 100% he and his camp won’t risk playing. Expect to see him in game 2 or 3 though.

And when he plays have Morris brother guard him. Never forget what Clippers did to Luka once they saw that he will be a problem.

Coffey will start.

Kawhi out, the whole world is on Mavs and yet only -2 favorites? Scary.

I would rather have a hobbled kawhi out there vs him sitting out, but that’s just me

Shame. I wanted to beat them with them being at full health. Hollow victory if we win and everyone will remind us of that.
