Great all around game last night. I fully expect the 76ers best game Thursday and the Raps need to close it out

well, on the plus side, this tweet tells me the kings are getting the #1 pick.

He really does. His talent is obvious, but I'm starting to wonder about his desire to get better.

Imo, he's in danger of becoming like Dwight Howard. Talented enough to put up all star caliber numbers most years...but doesn't put in the work to improve enough to actually be a guy that a can lead a team to a title.

To his defense. Kawhi is destoying him on both sides. I think he is deflated how useless the Raptors have made him.

Too busy hanging with the Kardashians instead of working on a jumper past 7 feet

My two favourite non-Kawhi things about this is 1) Chris Paul just straight comes out, gives you everything he is and in ten years has never gotten the proper help he deserves, and 2) I never would've thought Klay would be behind so many guys.

Boston did the same thing to him in last year's playoffs. You would think one will learn from that and improve on something in that off season.

I could beat Kawhi 1-on-1.

Sure, he might have the edge in things like strength, shooting, driving, finishing, skill, stamina, etc.

But I have the edge in stick-to-it-iveness, lunch-pail-work-ethic and never-say-die-attitude.

Intangibles would win out in the end.

I think you would have a good shot.

But only if Kawhi took a load management day.

Embiid to sit out with a yeast infection.
