Take it from a Raptors fan!!! WE DON’T CARE HOW MANY GAMES HE PLAYS!!!! In 2019 everyone knew his knee W’s a bit messed up so there was game management. Nobody in Toronto cared about the regular season. It was all about the playoffs! And what happened in the playoffs???? He had one of the greatest playoff performances ever!! Raptors got one of the best physiotherapists on the planet. Doctor Alex McKechnie! Was here in 2019 and is still here. WE ARE SO BACK!!!! LFG TORONTO!!!!

Kawhi didn’t put a gun to no one’s head nor did he threaten anyone. Clippers could’ve said “no”, simple as that. SAS needs to let it go.

SAS just vamped for 3 minutes about nothing. He sounds like the old dude that walked into a conversation at barbershop and has to shout to get his point across.
