this will be a legacy defining series for peg leg kawhi lenoard

[MikelArteta]

Keep an eye on Marcus Morris tonight.

Not for the reasons you think.

 

[93 til]

His legacy is secure. He's playing with house money at this point. His ranking as an ATG can only go up.

Now PG is the one who needs a legacy defining win

 

[Ohene]

That is not good.
I mean, maybe to you it’s good.
But that is not a good supporting cast.

thats a solid, contending 8 man rotation

or am i supposed to believe that KCP, Wes Matthews and kuzma are that amazing? How about Finney Smith and Kleber?
Come on fam

clippers are still favored to win the series
ZERO excuses

 

[staticshock]

Are you the only LAC fan on this board? Legit question

.

I came in here to ask the same thing

bruh holding it down though. The Lakers must be Teflon in LA if the Clippers can’t get more fans and support with 2 superstars from Cali on the team

 

[malbaker86]

Nah man THIS is what Kawhi chose and if they lose this series, he deserve all the smoke and will look funny in the light. That’s the life of being considered elite

 

[Tom Foolery]

Career is already ruined.

San Antonio don't fukk with him, Toronto don't fukk with him and LA don't fukk with him.

He's gonna have one weird Hall of Fame induction.

 

[eastside313]

Role players have to step up too though. They've been MIA in the first two games. Time to get Mann, Kennard, and Cousins out there

If that’s who they depending on go head and pack it up.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Dude I'm not praying for anything, I honestly don't care

Let that nikka Book Report do his thing. He practices dramatic, creative & DRAWN OUT writing. Fielding offers for that “I Love Big Bron” book deal

 

[The_Sheff]

Y’all say every game is legacy defining. It’s old.

 

[murksiderock]

Dude I'm not praying for anything, I honestly don't care. I mean for wateva reason you wanna interpret, it's obvious AD has been doing the heavy lifting thus far this playoff. He's the one that catches the heat when the Lakers underperform not Lebron, much like Kawhi is (this postseason at least). It's not an equal comparison. I don't even see how that can be construed as controversial or a hot topic.
If this were any other star you would acknowledge that, be fair bro.

I dont know whats unobjective about my previous post; AD is doing the heavy lifting because he's being led to do so. Its great for his confidence and the team's confidence and will pay dividends later in the postseason should LA continue to advance...

I could just as easily say if this wasn't Bron you'd be objective; obviously you're one of the better contributors here but you've always had a real axe to grind with LeBron. I mean fam, you just said he looks like Scottie Pippen, are you watching how they closed these last two games? Talk about hyperbolic, in no lifetime would Scottie ever have the mental range and control of a game the way Bron has...

To your point about who gets held accountable, and I think we spoke on this before, but Bron has taken more than his share of blame, bruh. AD is a superstar. He's the one of the two who was playing substandard recently, so as with any other superstar, its okay for him to catch his share of criticism...

His legacy is secure. He's playing with house money at this point. His ranking as an ATG can only go up.

Now PG is the one who needs a legacy defining win

Neither one's legacies are going up if they don't make a long playoff run this year...

 

[Dwight Howard]

This one game likely doesn't do anything for his career, unless its a watershed performance that leads them back to win the series, or a watershed performance on the other end of the spectrum that hastens their elimination in a sweep...

So this game doesn't mean anything, but this series does, and more importantly, his time in LA, however long it is, is gonna have a huge bearing on how he's looked at in retrospect down the line. He needs to win a title in LA. Thats what he was brought here for, thats what the expectations were. If he doesn't even come close to a championship its gonna reflect on him poorly, particularly given all the leaked news on his behind-the-scenes arrogance and general nonchalance compared to contemporaries of his who seemingly have more "drive" and "leadership"...

Shoulda never been compared to LeBron. Cats really in here saying the Toronto run solidified his legacy but LeBron has done that multiple times to an even greater degree than '19 Kawhi and yall still find ways to discredit and disrespect his legacy...



What games are you watching?

LeBron plays the game at a different speed than maybe anyone ever. What he's doing right now is purposeful and orchestrated, and isn't something new for him. He's helping bridge confidence, comraderie and cohesion with a team that played without key pieces for half the season. He's picking his spots, at this point in the series he doesn't need to go nuclear, he knows this and knows building everyone else's confidence up will pay dividends in later rounds when the stakes get higher...

Scottie Pippen in no lifetime could do what Bron has shown thru 3 games so far. Where alot of yall view Bron as having fallen off, praying for it, and to be fair I do think he's still working on his recovery from the ankle, what's really going on us he's able to gradually ramp up while conserving energy and building chemistry with the squadn...

Bron averaging like 20ppg and 9 assist

 

[murksiderock]

Bron averaging like 20ppg and 9 assist

Yall are watching stat lines but not the games. I won't argue with you...

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Reading the responses
Y’all nikkas so flaw and disingenuous
With Steph his legacy ended this year
But Kawahi
Y’all moving goalposts to fit the narrative
It’ll be everybody else’s fault but his
fukk that
If this fakkit can’t get his team to the second round
He a scrub ass nikka that got lucky
No better than the them two fakkits in Portland
Claim to be objective sports fans but hide behind hypocrisy
THE COLI DOT COM

Bro I don't think you can be objective about Bron. You playing semantics and mental gymnastics as to how and why AD has been the driving force for them thus far. You can't even just give him his props straight up without spinning it to glorify LeBron... speaking on that man as if this is his first playoffs or something . Like dude AD doesn't need a confidence boost man, he was the co-star in the movie just last year.

Bron is gonna pick it up no doubt, but as of presently he has been getting carried and playing the Scottie Pippen to AD's Jordan role. What is confusing you about that? Just watch the games.

And to tie it back in to my original post, Kawhi doesn't have that luxury this playoff...hence op bringing up Bron as a comparison isn't even a fair one. Kawhi has been tasked with more this postseason

I can be objective with Bron bro, but you just said Bron is being carried and AD is the driving force behind their ramping up/surge. Objectively this is an erroneous statement but its all good haha...
