"This the kawhi we know " ?
When has he ever touched over 49 points, this is different
If no one is Guarding You , Well Ya have to help the less unfortunate wanna be Players . nba is entertainment . FAF = Fake as F*ck .
Kawhi: “Now THAT’S how you do it!!!!……. I’ll see yall next month”😂
Looks like he's trying to drown out the Aspiration noise by actually playing games.
klaw's 45pt game against 76ers game 1 is one of my fav
Test him, immediately
please kawhi, save the league.
Atleast go to 11th seed
When you're in the mood, you're in the mood😅
We all know what a healthy Kawhi is capable of. An elite player.
Wow amazing!
Midrange resuscitated for one game.
I told people before the clippers started thier winning streak start fading the Clippers. If you gamble. Clippers bout to go on a mad winning streak. They're too good to beat a 11th place team
👀 🔥 Playoff mode activated 🔥 🇺🇸
A healthy Kawhi is still one of the best players in the NBA! He just dropped 55 points on the team who's the #1 seed in the East, the Detroit Pistons, and the Clippers won. The Clippers need to trade him before the trade deadline and get a haul for him. His value won't be higher than right now. The Clippers need to rebuild.
Kawhi is an enigma…
Best game since he left the raptors 😅
I remember Harden with 50 against Detroit last year after the team was struggling..now it's Kawhi's turn
Nice. Kawhi dropped a random Jokic stat line.
This is 2017 kawhi
are you still doing your load management drama lol
Healthy Kawhi is always top 3 in the NBA
Always will be my favorite to watch. Shame with all the drama happened and his often injuries. He just dusted first seed in the east like it was nothing.
Against the Pistons as well, this is insane.
The Clippers can reach a play-in spot in the west if Kawhi can do this for a stretch of games.
Damn! He’s gonna have to sit out until the second half of next season after that performance!
Been my favorite player since '13. It's been a rough couple of years… But I still refuse to get a new favorite player until he retires
His midrange shots are a joy to watch
Kawhi has never been as quick or high-flying as peak Jordan, and never had the post-up skills of 1995-98 Jordan, but this performance looked very similar to the 8 times Jordan scored 40+ for the Wizards, especially Jordan's back-to-back 51 and 45 (which including 23 straight points vs. the New Jersey Nets, and that Nets team made the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003). Not identical, because Kawhi is a great 3-point shooter, but the mid-range and long2point pull-ups were Wizards MJ.
Now stay healthy
Off topic.every year before the nba starts. or before free agency. I be hoping some of these superstars from the west goes to some of these teams on the east.. seems so unbalanced over the years. But I guess it's the cities and market place, which makes players not want to go .. after the best player on the east after giannis it's like 20players on the west that's better then the 2ndbest player on east😂😂😂
