[Highlight] Kawhi hits the clutch and-1 with 2 seconds remaining to give the Clippers the lead!
19 pts in the 4th lmao disgusting
You knew this was happening as soon as Sengun missed the free throw. Kawhi was just way too hot and there was no way he was letting that go unpunished.
Kawhi has experience being punished for missing a free throw
But not for an air ball
I mean this shot would have won them the game regardless, would have been 104-103 instead of 104-102, without the and 1
Crazy he’s doing this all for nothing. Not even hating it just sucks a top 5 player is being wasted like this
Would’ve been cool if he got traded to Detroit
Kawhi does look animated though, at least the most I’ve seen in a while. I feel like he does like playing for the Clips and this team
It’s like the basketball gods decided that the Clippers’ punishment would be that they only get a fully healthy peak Kawhi when they’ve given up on this era lol
Board man gets paid
At the very least he’s playing to get traded to a contender this summer. This version of Kawhi will be a attractive target for a few teams.
Seems like he’s done as a Clipper after this season with our current direction to go young and try and land a big FA in 2027.
Trade him to the Pacers. Reconnect him with Zu lol.
free agency is so overrated, stars dont leave. hope thats not the big plan
That’s literally how Kawhi got to the clippers lol
I mean it’s not a reliable plan. Stars these days are much more likely to get traded because teams want assets in return instead of losing them for nothing.
Oh man, deja vu. Last time we traded our star player to DET started the rebuilding phase.
Shall we do it again? For Tobias Harris, again?
I wish we threw Butler + 2 or 3 FRP to the Clips for him. Basically a Giannis-lite offer. Idk if the Clips would accept, but I’d do it if they did. I guess the Aspiration stuff is a big unknown though. And it’d be massively playing with fire with Kawhi’s health, which could implode at any point.
But holy hell Steph/Moody/Kawhi/Green/Porzingis(?) would go HARD as a starting 5. That’s like legit championship caliber.
Bro he’s getting like $50,000,000, in addition to his salary and his uncle literally shaking down trainers and shit for 10% of their salary, and gets to play in the place he wants
If he cared about winning he would’ve stayed on the Raptors and repeated. He doesn’t, and realized he could get the richest guy in the league to do literally whatever he wanted. He’s getting everything he wants
Idc I want to watch the best players at the sport be on competitive teams that have a chance of doing something
Wasn’t the year he left when a bunch of raptors players were injured and out for a long period of time? Or was that after 2020?
After. Next year was the bubble, raptors took Celtics to 7 in Eastern Semis, and did so in spite of our ‘star’ that year being Pascal, who didn’t touch a basketball during the shutdown and managed to play comically badly the whole bubble
Doesn’t feel like a stretch to say that we would beat them and the Butler Heat, and Lakers were nowhere near as good as Warriors were the previous year. We basically were the same team, healthier, and better, against worse competition, but didn’t have Kawhi.
The 2020 lakers are easily on the level or better than the Warriors team you faced
You didn’t face the fully healthy KD warriors
Steve Ballmer: yes, all of this is for nothing :))))))
And the game winner
How is silver letting him play?
WET BALL
Wet Ballll!!!
湿球
濡れたボール
He’s lowkey the MVP….
He’s been a monster for like 2 months straight. Not like “oh he’s an All-Star” but like “Oh my god that’s Jason Bourne Kawhi Leonard!”
Just let the record show for all those who just repeat tired narratives, that once again, Kawhi Leonard played through injury (on a back to back), and won the game.
Besides clowns everyone will agree hes an elite player with an actual health condition that makes it hard for him to play a lot of games. He was basically running on fumes in our championship run and we dont win that year if he didnt do everything he did.
That all said, the aspiration stuff is still fucked, and I better see some of the clippers picks come our way since we didnt get a fair chance to try and re-sign him.

Has the NBA ever compensated a team like that? I don’t think I’ve seen that in any professional sport. Especially since it’s not like you were directly cheated of anything. It was understood when you traded for him that he wasn’t staying. That’s why he came at such a huge discount.
Idk if it has, and when Kawhi left, while people felt bad, we all got it at the time. The guy that wants to go home went home, no big deal. However, what if Ballmer and the clippers didnt tamper like crazy, and kawhi thought about it because pretty much everyone stuck around from that team, and we just came off a chip? At least we would have a fair chance at negotiating vs someone that is giving incentives we cant compete with at all.
Whether or not he would still leave imo is irrelevant. I might be asking for a lot, but I think its fair to compensate the team that gets screwed over by tampering since they lost something, to make them whole.
For the record I don’t like him because of the Aspiration stuff not the load management stuff
Lmao 🤣
Whats wrong with some trees in LA!?!?
There were no new trees in LA and that’s the problem
There were money trees.
Kawhi should have been top 10 all time man. Such a talent.
He inspires.
He aspirates
He dominates
He hitsshotslate
He perspirates
aspires* 😭😭
I said what I said dammit
He plants trees
He “plants trees”
Nice job Clippers I hope y’all make the playoffs.
Why?
Did you forget that OKC has the Clippers pick?
I don’t care really
Good talk
Lol they just wasting everyone’s time
Same lol
Cause he a massive pervert
He hates trees.
Kawhi is still nasty
That spin was smooth 🔥
Incredible. It looks like he started the spin in slow motion then kicked it into turbo.
Filthy. Top-5 player in the league at the moment.
The 2019 ptsd just hit so hard.
OH MY KAWHI
Wasn’t voted an All-Star originally btw
Most predictable game winner
not an all star somehow lmao
So Close to go 21-6 after the 6-21 start. They went 20-7 instead which is still Awesome!!
Amen stay getting cooked by Kawhi this season
Didn’t Kawhi hit a game winner against his brother recently too?
When Kawhi is playing like this, it doesn’t matter who he is up against
On Thompson as well. Kawhi can get to where he wants to go.
Why clippers trade harden when they contending
Bruh we’re not contending… We do this every year.
Harden wanted out after not getting an extension. Clippers would’ve happily kept him and played out the season. Zu was a domino effect and the offer was too good
and zu
Kawhi’s clutch shot works in FAVOR of the Sixers this time, who own Houston’s pick. Thank you, Kawhi!
Kawhi on God mode
That spin was unlike him and nasty quick af.
Kawhi easily one of my fav players of all time. Just ice cold

El Terminador: “Hasta la manzana, HUEHEUHEHE.”
I love seeing Kawhi perform at this level again. Trees be damned.
that spin move was disgusting he digs his foot but that spin was unexpectedly quick. Hung in the air for that shot too HES TOO GOOD
I know its probably a foul with how the rules are written, but Kawhi faded away into that contact. It was still a great shot though.
he bumped him in the air and was in his landing zone
Amen Thompson is always fried alive in these highlights. I sometimes wonder about his defensive prowess
The new paul george
He’s a stud! What a spin move and splash cycle
Kawhi not?
First clip was smooth.
This is the best offensive version of Kawhi ever which is insane to think about.
Goddamn cyborg.
Okay - are the clippers actually good even without Harden and Zubak?
He’s moving the fastest I’ve seen him since the Spurs days honestly. Even with the Raptors because of the injury, he wasn’t as explosive and his handle wasn’t this quick. Right now he might be playing his best ball offensively of his career.
Imagining Eric erasing and re-drawing Chuck right now is so funny to me
Kawahi playing for his career lol
[deleted]
He should be suspended
Did it really take a shady money controversy to get Kawhi to play one of the best seasons of his load managing career?/
Bro shouldn’t be out there. Bro should be suspended
Shouldn’t be playing fuck his fraudulent ass
Your team lost so cry about it
