So much disrespect or non-acknowlegment for kawhi. When people talk about the best basketball players, they say lebron, kd, giannis..I’m not gonna argue with lebron being on top but some people put kd and giannis over kawhi. Like giannis deflates in the playoffs and durant is one of the best offensive weapons but kawhi has better defense and can facilitate the ball, and kd 2 titles were from joining a team that already won a title. Also, people talk about once lebron retires, it’ll be giannis and luka ‘s league but are they forgetting kawhi exists and he’s not that old yet smh

How about your point guard not jacking up 25 shots per game and get his teammates involved. Nuggets got 1 play and it’s the pick and roll with Murray and Jokic while other guys are forced to just stand and watch. Can’t bench Porter Jr. He is now the 8th man off the bench playing 20 minutes and during garbage time. Can’t get in a rhythm. Unleash Porter.

Why randomly disrespect Utah?? If anything there’s a better chance of Donovan taking over a game, not some unproven Jamal Murray scrub who is now a star after making shoot around uncontested threes for ONE series. Ridiculous
