So now we can't watch the playoff games unless we have a app, I'm now watching any of that trash
I understand giving props to drag for locking up kawhi tht is big time but im tired of him gettin praise in general just for havin a skill anybody else in the league can have he doesn’t do anything tht impressive we haven’t seen from dam near every center tht was jus in the yr of 2010 -13 we’ve had hella better centers thn dray
Draymond is underrated he's a great defender and a great team player fs….💯
The Warriors were not going to beat the Raptors if he didn’t get hurt. The Raptors were a monster of a team. The Warriors didn’t have it that year. Give me a break. Coulda shoulda woulda…..didn’t.
Dray set the platform for Steph's performance to MATTER. A 1 2 combo
Where's Molly?!
post factum analysis about a trade will always sound great
I love doggy for not falling for this extemist question of "whos better this or this?" BS 🤣
What is doggy talking about? So what kawhi play 8 minutes, Draymond was stealing from him locking him up, 8 minutes has nothing to do with it. Stephen A lost his mind. Leonard can definitely carry a team. Toronto wasn't winning anything without kawhi, kawhi just had nothing to work with this year.
Its crazy how he doesn't do it consistently so lol Rodman still better than u bro😂😂 but I still give him his flowers
Kawhi retire bro
Oh come on SAS no one is going to rush to the turnstiles to watch a clipper team with no star / superstar. NO ONE. But they have when it comes to Kawhi
Shay starting to look more like Molly use to 😂
Warriors fan here was asleep during the game because I had to get up very early for my airplane flight and can’t I believe my warriors pulled it off.
SA doesn’t kno basketball sayin nobody goes to games to see him
Draymond is the best defender ever
Kawhi is just another dwade. One great postseason and that’s it.
Kawhi is done. I’m tired of hearing about this sucka.
I love Shai… I've been trying not to say anything, but I'm glad she is there….
She is pretty
Hard to listen when your all over the place. Fact is if he stayed on the spurs they’d be a monster team
The fact they gave up SGA for PG is way worse then The Nets giving away 5 first round picks for Bridges 😅
Stephen A just hates Kawhi 😂😂😂
Let's go Warriors
Ty lue is like doc, choker
Smith is a fun fooler😂😂
This version of Kawhi with Paul George would've been a contender. That said, he's in Giannis Land now. No help…he's done.
2 points and 1 assist. But the media swears Kawhi better than Kobe. GTFOH.
We owe LeBron an apology
Yeah steaphen a just hates kawhi, he can't carry? Ok
Joel embiid been more injured than Kawhi Leonard and Stephen A Smith don't have that same smoke with Joel embiid it's always personal with Kawhi Leonard
That's why Clippers will continue to lose, great team has a trio, which the Clippers don't have. To let Kawhi be your Superman, your BAE, won't work. Find a trio to build from, I agree with Stephen A, start a new. Trade him for Giannis or someone like him.
Al horford plays his role substantially
after the season that kawhi just gave, u dont just move on from kawhi. he still got it in him. i do agree with kawhi's past and how bad the clippers have been, but with garland and kawhi they can try to build something around. u dont move on from kawhi yet.
BS. I'm going through turnstile to see Kawai
Both Kerr and Draymond don’t get enough credit. Kerr is a phenomenal coach make no mistake about it
I love the Warriors, but that was their championship this year. They really need to lose and get the draft pick, heal up and try to make the playoffs, not the play-in next year.
Exactly 💯 that was absolutely great defense from Draymond Green 💚
Wild statements prime kl carried the raptors
Porzingis too
Kawhi IS BOX OFFICE. Idk what you’re talking bout
Draymond > Barkley
Barkley Mr Triple No Rings 😂
Another win for okc lottery pick
Why Do yall have Everyone Loves Raymond speaking 2026 basketball knowing he still stuck in 1980's basketball
So what did K.P. do take over the game how many times and you didn't mention him is crazy work
