A couple people in the media have said Kawhi plays like Jordan over the last week or so. I said this like three years ago. Stylistically he plays super similar to MJ. Super mechanical. Postgame. Hitting jumpers in your face like nothing. They seem stiff (especially ballhandling) but are somehow super effective anyways. lockdown d, etc. People say this series might be the end to the Raptors as a serious contenders (cause kawhi might leave). But it also might be the end to the 76ers as serious contenders too. If Butler leaves and with JJ getting older that might be it. Embiid is shooting 36% in this series and Ben is averaging 10 pts and 5 APG. That is there future. Without knowing what is going down after the season, I'm not sure how we can define any series as the end of anything (unless an old star is retiring).

You could say he's the best player in the east. He's not better than Durant, imo. Give me Kawhi all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant be show boating last game and then not show the f up the next game Easy win if he just plays his game Embiid is easily the 2nd or 3rd most unlikable superstar in this league. I've never seen such a soft big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like that he acts like a guy who has done a lot when he's done very little and is looking like he needs D-Wade treatment of having a game off every week and he's not even 30. However, there's been like an infinity of softer big mean in the league, he wouldn't even be a mention if you were putting together an encyclopedia.

tom cody Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Embid is 1 of those guys that teams have that you hate to play vs. him but would love to have him on your team. Nice to see the Raptors tie the series up yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Leonard is playing fine, it's other players who aren't contributing. Even during the last post-game conference after the Raptors lost, Kawhi looked really stressed out as he sat down. And they got the win yesterday so hopefully they can come back and win the series. Game 5 is key for both teams in this series IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Great visual from reddit that shows just how insane Kawhi has been (and how little help he is getting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no doubt, it's crazy how bad the Raps have been with Kawhi off the court this series. And it makes no sense because they actually thrived without him during the regular season (whenever he would sit out). Not sure if it's them or Philly just being that much better from a talent perspective sans Kawhi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Ben Simmons is baby food. He doesn't even play great defense, even though he should. Leonard abuses him every time they get matched up on each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 109 orating is what the Pistons and Magic had on the year. So the Bucks go from the best offense in the league to a little better. The Rockets go from a below average offense to the best offense in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant in terms of who it really matters to more; not like CP3 is vying for any awards this season. If one wanted, they could use that stat to try and put down Giannis' MVP candidacy and bolster Hardens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11sanchez11 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 I can't believe this series is 2-2 with the 76ers bench significantly outplaying the Raps bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
