The two series would have eerily similar subplots..
MVParker wiped the floor with Mike Conley and Grizzlies after 8 when the "Grizzlies in 6 :cry " was a trendy prediction back then, just like everyone is scared shitless of this flawed Clippers team based on one instance of them knocking us out in a first round playoffs series while having a moderate reg season success ever since combined with the fact that our best player/first option has struggled mightily against them.
At some point, a Kawhi-led team HAS to make some waves in the postseason for him to cement his current regular season status as top 3 player in the league..
Far be it to me to put the onus on Leonard to lead us past a prohibitive favorite and a historically stacked team like the Warriors, but it is high time for Kawhi to have signature dominant series from start to finish against another contender..
In the absence of an elite match-up at his position in this Clippers team, there is literally no excuse for Kawhi to not go supernova and be the best player in the series by quite a margin..
Assuming we get the top seed, this is a legacy-setting moment for Leonard in his new superstar role/tier, IMO..
