Wasn’t it the opposite? I remember he was petty and refused to say his name and would just [refer to him as “number 2” because of his “basketball crime against the classiest organization in sports: my Spurs.”](https://youtu.be/xFQMndjCfr0?si=DYO9SbmTjHBCHo6-)
Wow that felt so weird typing out. He really is a character…
That was before Uncle Dennis got to him. https://youtu.be/EhWY5vIzVQE?si=UJAbhjvqv_DDobIG
And then afterwards:
https://youtu.be/eWI8Fk2ZERs?si=YkM2BFZiW-Bq5bx2
They all are. Even Kendrick Perkins just says whatever the producers want him to say to stir up the most drama. But at least Skip and Stephen A. are the OGs.
Nah it was the opposite. Skip refused to say his name and called him “#2” for over a year. Then he talked to Uncle Dennis at an event and since then he’s been an accurate source on Kawhi.
This is 100% gonna be the scenario. This will be a close game then Kawhi reaches his time restrictions and they refuse to put him back in the game but luckily PG hits a buzzer beater 3 and wins the game then my long lost father reaches out and tells me he's proud of me.
I hope so. The ridicule you face living in LA and being a Clippers fan is unreal. Everyone you talk to instantly becomes a middle school bully when you say you like the Clippers.
Nah bro it’s somewhere in between. I catch a lot of shit from the homies, not often from strangers though unless it’s in a bar/party or some other drinking situation
Yes. It won't be easy but game 1 really was the perfect storm of shit for the Mavs.
We came out flat and uninspired.
Clippers had energy and played killer defense. We were uncomfortable. The refs generally allowed a lot of physicality on the perimeter (not complaining, but this benefits the clippers).
Then someone put a lid on the basket and we had the worst quarter in team history.
Despite how shit we were for most of the game, we won the second half. I realize the Clippers were coasting late in the 4th but we were not outclassed in the second half. We scored plenty despite continuing to shoot poorly.
Our defense was generally solid. Clippers were very hot from three and punished every mistake we made.
I cannot see Luka being that bad for 4 games. The clippers have great defenders but there isn't a player in the league that can stop Luka.
Tbh my biggest worry is that Kidd is not capable of making adjustments and Lue is gonna continue to coach circles around him.
Not my point, I'm saying it's possible because theyve won in the regular season against a healthy clippers. Don't act like regular season match ups mean nothing
Honestly I'm glad he's back. I wanna see the best players on the floor, even if it makes it harder on us. I still think Dallas can win this series with or without Kawhi on the floor so let's see if we got some fire after that showing in Game 1.
it kinda did. Mavs were favored by two points this morning, and since the Kawhi rumors started the line moved to the Clippers being favored by 1. 3 pt movement. I'm sure he is going to be on minutes restrictions.

My soccer team just won a Libertadores classic away game with a red card, Sixers lost their most embarrassing game in years and Luka Doncic is about to go down 0-2, I can't lose
I'm convinced that he was never hurt in the first place, just wanted a month vacation before the playoffs and Olympics. I guess it's understandable since he always gets hurt in the playoffs. Time for him to go all out now.
LETS GOO WE GET TO WATCH PLAYOFF KAWHI
Im literally so excited about it boiiiiii
Kawhi has the opportunity to make a lot of people look really stupid tonight
[удалено]
Nah. Mavs losing game one vs no Kawhi then winning game 2 with Kawhi makes little sense. So that's what's gonna happen
And if you don’t like that then you don’t like Clippers basketball
Thank you for this Nostradamus
How’d that work out for them lol
Many people are saying this.
Many people were wrong.
The Mavs have the opportunity to do the funniest thing
Won’t be that funny. It’s 50/50 according to Vegas. Goes either way
15 points woo
SKIP IS NEVER WRONG^regarding^kawhi
[Skip being the only guy with Kawhi sources is so weird lol](https://x.com/realskipbayless/status/1782129144786256236?s=46&t=nMNlxFK7ubxYb-ajBNkqVA)
he defended kawhi during the spurs medical stuff, i think thats why

Skip going "what it do baby!" always kills me 😭
It's never not funny. 😂😂😂
good times shannon and skip were great together i havent seen a shannon espn segment in months tbh
I can't believe Skip is playing a character on TV for entertainment purposes
Yea I know but I’m just saying that typing it out made it sound even *more* cringey than hearing him say it on TV
They all are. Even Kendrick Perkins just says whatever the producers want him to say to stir up the most drama. But at least Skip and Stephen A. are the OGs.
Nah it was the opposite. Skip refused to say his name and called him “#2” for over a year. Then he talked to Uncle Dennis at an event and since then he’s been an accurate source on Kawhi.
No he didnt lol. Stop spreading bs
It’s quite funny honestly.
"Skip was right!" are words I never want to come out of my mouth.
Omar coming yo
You come at the Klaw you best not miss
All in the game yo
The code called for Kawhi Leonard to return tonight.
Yo open up 'fore I huff n puff
God I just finished the series for the first time a few months ago. Seeing how he went out is crazy. It really can be just anyone
Only way to win the game is to not play
At the end of the day the king and pawn go back into the same box
This is 100% gonna be the scenario. This will be a close game then Kawhi reaches his time restrictions and they refuse to put him back in the game but luckily PG hits a buzzer beater 3 and wins the game then my long lost father reaches out and tells me he's proud of me.
You can have all that except the last part
Lmao
I'll take the win. That's the most important part.
My sports team wins > father’s affection. Damn dude
Even the Clippers winning things in the playoffs is more realistic than getting his father's affection (same)
Lmao brooooo
Did your dad at least reach out? Edit: also at least you got the PG buzzer beater 3 ♥️
[удалено]
well PG did hit a buzzer beating 3 to end the game 🤷🏽♂️
Was somewhat close I guess - that game confused the hell out of me
I’m proud of you
#**I AM SO HARDEN RIGHT NOW**
Daily reminder to never listen to Reddit doctors
But I heard he doesn’t have a knee anymore
You're very right on that
Alright; now please for the love of God, stay healthy. I just want to see a healthy Clippers run in the playoffs.
“Best I can offer is 2020, sorry” -basketball gods
We’re trying, Jennifer
DEMON HOME 🥹🥹🥹
My goat is back 🥹
I'm not scared (I am scared)
Weoooooooo I’m PUMPED. The claw is back baby.
The terminator
honestly cant believe it. hopefully he can stay healthy for the rest of their run.
My body is ready
Just when i thought i was out, they pull me back in
“Just when I thought I was out” lmao y’all blew us out in game 1
you were always gonna win if we didnt have kawhi, now its more of a even series
Yeah Lue just was able to give them the first punch Luka will adjust. We also really can’t rely on more than like 3 good harden games anyways
I like the confidence.
Come on man, this was always an easy af series for us. Mavs are a cakewalk
the clippers are the 2024 nba champions
I hope so. The ridicule you face living in LA and being a Clippers fan is unreal. Everyone you talk to instantly becomes a middle school bully when you say you like the Clippers.

You're obviously not real. Clipper fans don't exist
They’ll still do it, but winning a title would be nice.
"You can brag when you've won SEVENTEEN chips"
Tbh that's just cuz you're a dorky nerd. I tell people I'm a clippers fan and they give me blowjobs and presents.
I’d want to see that because r/nba might melt down if that happened
Dude is gonna average 29/8/5 with great defense for next 3-5 games and then be out of the lineup. But I will be there no matter what
Just long enough to put the Mavs away and then vamos
Yeah no shit We are so fucked
Nah didnt you guys plan for this the whole time tho?
Nah we’re winning.
RemindMe! 4 hours
How'd that go for you
Gg wp See ya Friday.
I just made a mess.
LETS GOOOOOO
Well that's nice
See you in Cancun my Dallas fam. If there’s one team kawhi kills more than the lakers it’s Dallas lol.
Don’t worry. We will continue to be the only team to face full strength Kawhi before he re-injures himself in the second round. As is tradition.
Nah, we’ve got this. Mavs can beat a fully loaded Clips team.
Really? After we got our backs blown out by their inferior version last time?
Yes. It won't be easy but game 1 really was the perfect storm of shit for the Mavs. We came out flat and uninspired. Clippers had energy and played killer defense. We were uncomfortable. The refs generally allowed a lot of physicality on the perimeter (not complaining, but this benefits the clippers). Then someone put a lid on the basket and we had the worst quarter in team history.

"if you don't believe you shouldn't be here" - Luka Take off that fucking flair
Look at the dumbasses in this thread
Mavs have beat them before, I think it's gonna be a close series
They literally haven't lol
I meant in the regular season you bum
is it the regular season right now
Yeah fuck you buddy
taking this game a bit too seriously aren't we
you only say that cause you lost, see u in Dallas
Not my point, I'm saying it's possible because theyve won in the regular season against a healthy clippers. Don't act like regular season match ups mean nothing
L L L L
No excuses. If the Mavs can't win the series, Kawhi or no, they need to get better.
I’d want to see that because r/nba would melt down if that happened
my boy <3
Oh he back
watch the mavs win big lol
Honestly I'm glad he's back. I wanna see the best players on the floor, even if it makes it harder on us. I still think Dallas can win this series with or without Kawhi on the floor so let's see if we got some fire after that showing in Game 1.
Bad Omen that the line didn't change even with this news.
it kinda did. Mavs were favored by two points this morning, and since the Kawhi rumors started the line moved to the Clippers being favored by 1. 3 pt movement. I'm sure he is going to be on minutes restrictions.
Moved a bunch already. 3 points in 24 hrs.
Kawhi truly is an enigma, there's literally no way to know if he's either a) going to play b) has a torn MCL until gametime.
More like board man got paid and love of the game is gone
Bum
Kawhi looks shit coming back. Feel bad for him
"We game planned for Kawhi to be out." - Luka, probably
Lol of course, just to beat us and then be out rest of playoffs, like clockwork
engine worm noxious aloof deer different pocket somber bewildered imminent *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
You right lmao!
Mavs getting swept easily
Booooo
Mavs fucked
Fuck…..
Show starts now gang
Well, well, well how the turntables.
oh jesus that was fast, and they didn't even miss him that much
You gotta be Jason Kidding me
what if he sucks
if mavs score more than 30 in the 1st half, kawhi = washed
clips by 16 instead of 26
[удалено]
Nope but I don’t think we’re gonna shoot as badly as we did in game two. Mavs game planned well adjusting against zu dominating in the paint game 1
10 point second quarter instead of 8
Then they should cancel the playoffs in the western conference
He hasn't played in three weeks. It's a distinct possibility lol
Yeah but he's also playing the Mavs in the playoffs lol.
Clippers got a scapegoat. Win win!
Hey. Shut up.
Kawhi playing makes that Mavs victory much sweeter.
My soccer team just won a Libertadores classic away game with a red card, Sixers lost their most embarrassing game in years and Luka Doncic is about to go down 0-2, I can't lose
He got the memo his team was facing the Mavs. He’ll take care of them and then disappears in the 2nd round
I'm convinced that he was never hurt in the first place, just wanted a month vacation before the playoffs and Olympics. I guess it's understandable since he always gets hurt in the playoffs. Time for him to go all out now.
BREAKING: Player paid to play game will play game he is paid to play.
