MVP
I agree he should have been better in the 2nd half. If it was any other player I'd question the emotions. Kawhi's been pretty emotionless his entire career. The only time I've really seen anything out him was that clutch shot he hit last year against the Bucks in the ECF.
There's no way I can say the Clippers choked more any other team. For me that goes to the 2015-16 G.S. Warriors. # 1 seed. Best regular season record in history. With the back to back League MVP.
I agree with you about the '16 Warriors, but at least they made it to the Finals. Yeah they choked big time but there were other factors involved in that. Draymond was suspended for game 5 and Lebron was the best player in the league - he wasn't going to go away easily.
The Clippers were touted to be the best team in the league since the '96 Bulls (I actually heard someone say that). They were guaranteed to win the title and Kawhi was going to cement his place as the best player ever.
Instead they don't even make it out the 2nd round... with a fully healthy team. And as good as Jokic and Murray are, they're not quite on the same level as Kawhi and PG
