If Kawhi is done for playoffs, he'll finish with 4th highest playoffs PER of all time

[objective]

Single season playoff PERs

1. Hakeem Olajuwon* 38.96 1988
2. LeBron James 37.39 2009
3. George Mikan* 33.58 1954

Kawhi Leonard. 32.7. 2017

And that's with 2 games being cut short and hurting his numbers.

Remarkable.

Let the warriors sweep. Rehabilitate Kawhi. Its what the league wants anyway. And looks like the team is ready to take a vacation - most of ST. But I hope Kawhi still returns and get a chance to reverse sweep

He was on a way for an epic playoffs - not only offensively but defensively as well and winning game 1 vs dubs would give us pretty nice chance of beating them

While of course a Championship is the ultimate, I would have been fairly satisfied with a season of WCFs ousting got State as Kwa was the real MVP.
Every reason to believe we would have taken Celts/Cavs.

Simply amazing. His health is not worth risking. Only play him if he's going to be 100%.

Shut down KL. No sense risking his future.

I'm not ready to go anywhere yet tbqh

I agree with the consensus. Shut Kawhi down. It's evaluation time. Simmons has proved himself. I've been especially tough on him due to his dumb mistakes but let him continue to showcase. If everyone else fades that should make contract decisions easier.

Hopefully Gasol realizes what a disappointment he's been and all this leaves a bad taste in his mouth and both sides agree to end his time here. Expose Aldridge either way, allow him to fight for respectability or let him realize his standing absolutely as a role player.

These minutes are invaluable for Murray and for the love of everything holy play Bertans Pop. That's been my only issue with his delegation of playing time. Unless, Bertans has something he's working through that we don't know about his benching has been ridiculous. Gasol and Lee have not been revelations these play offs and Bertans is hungrier at this point of the series.

Lets see who's worthy of being a Spur and who should be let go. No need to bring Kawhi back early unless his teammates justify his play at less than 100%. As has been mentioned the last thing this franchise needs is for there to be structural damage due to the joint instability that would be the worst. Especially since the Spur mantra has always been about extending players careers not jeopardizing them.
