Kawhi beats the washed allegations with an excellent games on both ends of the floor, getting 3 stocks alongwith god tier efficiency. Safe to say once again the overreactions were too soon.

People keep saying to stop calling him washed because once he gets in rhythm he's untouchable, for example that stretch of averaging 25/6/5/2 on 50/50/87 splits from December to March last year.

Hey what does renowned Clippers fan Bill Simmons think of this?

[–] jgroove_LA@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

but, but he's washed

[–] LandLongjumping2268@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Did he actually looked better? Is his explosiveness and lift back or was the king’s defense just trash? I couldn’t watch the game

[–] Otherwise-Tale9671@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He had like 12 dunks and a leg spread reverse layup. The tech refresh hit hard tonight…

[–] definitelydidntcheat@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Will he play the 2nd night of a back to back?

[–] EternalFlame90@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He played every game so far.

Always nice to see Kawhi remind us what he is capable of. Kawhi/Harden/PG are gon' be scary trio when clicking

Nice to see Russ riding the bench more and more. Lue finally figuring it out

[–] -Thick_Solid_Tight-@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Russ is like the ultimate energy off the bench player.

[–] frankyseven@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think he makes a great bench player at this point of his career. If he can embrace that role he'll age like Vince did.

[–] HBSBrook@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lol Russ could murder somebody and his fans would still find excuses. Trash player with a track record of nothing but track since KD left almost a decade ago.

[–] Otherwise_Form1315@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kawhi dad-dicked the Kings and the Refs.

[–] osusris@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

our king has returned , the takes about PG being our best player were frustrating

[–] revochups@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Imagine being frustrated when PG is your best player

[–] frankyseven@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

When PG is the best player on a team that also has Kawhi and Harden there is a problem. When PG is the best player on a team like he was in Indiana it isn't a problem. He SHOULD be the best player on the Indiana teams, he SHOULDN'T be the best player on the Clippers.

I thought Kawhi might have slipped. Man wasn't looking quite right to start the season.

Chronic injuries? Getting older?

It wouldn't have been a shock.

[–] UnsuspectingS1ut@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Decapitated.

[–] OptimusGrime707@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If there’s a team out there that will get you right offensively, it’s the Kings lol

[–] kneecolayokitch@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He had Harrison Barnes and Trey Lyles guarding him with Sabonis as rim protection and Fox and Duarte at the point of attack.

[–] 7cheeseburgers@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

14/18 on a top tier western team even on a b2b is insane. Kawhi haters are crazy man.

[–] Most_Bass6372@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

best player in the world is back at his peak

the clippers will come out of the west and win the championship this season

[–] lolwtferic@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kawhi was on a mission tonight

[–] johnobmas@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Efficient Kawhi is back!

[–] Niceguydan8@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Kawhi and Harden both beating the washed allegations tonight

[–] Wonderful_Bet_2816@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Against a kings team that just came off of a back to back 😐

[–] Charliebitme1234@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

damn kawhi should have known that and scored 15 points, what an idiot

[–] Wonderful_Bet_2816@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Keep this same energy when they go against a different team

[–] MrBornReady@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Relax bruh it's just basketball 🏀

[–] mxgicjohnson@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

In my opinion the most unstoppable player to guard when he’s feeling it. Just watching the dude shoot another low arching laser through the net

[–] SirThixcksAlot@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

His best game of the season. Clippers need to give him as much spacing as possible.

[–] Pranker00111@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Good, keep that beat till tmr

[–] Hostile_Pierogi@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Where the haters at?

[–] Alex_O7@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lol playing against a team in the back end of the the back-to-back, after they give it all the night before... Still wondering why the fuck back-to-back are even a thing, it is a massive competitive alteration of the final results, massively depending who you plays in those 2 games...

Anyway Kawhi was a great player, you would expect a non-washed player to be consistent, not just playing good once in a while. Washed Kobe put up 60 in his final game, didn't mean he was capable to score 60 at will in any game still, nor that he could be anything more than what he was. This is just a basic example on how pro-sports (or even non-pro) works.

[–] LeanMike1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's gonna be out for like 3 weeks after this

[–] Surflover12@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Hear people talking shit

[–] Zeeron1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's definitely better than Harden though imo

[–] PewpyDewpdyPantz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kawhi activated cyborg mode.
