Don’t get me wrong, PG is a great regular season player but a lot of y’all acting like Kawhi’s the problem… I rather have a 20% chance on a healthy Kawhi in the playoffs then 100% chance of a healthy PG in the playoffs. Cuz with a healthy PG, getting out the 1st round ain’t even a guarantee. PG with the clippers: 2020: Pandemic P 2021: WCF but can’t beat the Suns 2022: Injured 2023: Injured 2024: Disappeared after game 4

[@DUNGSTA]

Playoff P on full display

[@scruffmcgruff3478]

First of all, they weren’t coming out the West regardless. Secondly, there have been multiple years, in the last 4-5, that you could say the Clippers are a top team *if healthy*. The problem is you can virtually guarantee they won’t be healthy when it matters most.

[@fireblood4699]

They were playing the best ball for a stretch this season. But they also had a huge slump fully healthy as well. So I wouldn’t say that. I do think 13 rubbed players the wrong way. Russ was in a great spot, then after the season we heard rumblings. Then PG saying that when he never complained about playing wrong before under Lue makes you think they have issues with Harden.

[@SportsBuilding]

No one brings it up because being healthy has been an aberration and not the norm. Has there been a single playoff run since ‘19 where both Klaw and PG were available the whole time? It’s a myth at this point.

You must have forgotten Derozan is a very poor man's kawhi. Derozan is undersized and not a good defender.

Stop rewriting history after the fact, when has a teams 4th or 5th best player ever been responsible for the back-2-back Finals MVP winning a title? Never cuz it's never happened, the lack of respect &love for Klay is stunning to me, if you wanted to say KD couldn't win w/o Curry I'd understand that thought process; it's wrong but I get that way of thinking but Draymond has nothing to do with it
