    I love how Stephen A just screams in disgust after anything Max says, as if he just assumes it's wrong. When Max said Warriors w/ Kawhi would beat Raptors w/ KD Stephen A. was like "WHAAAAAAAt". Then he actually thought about it and was like "you're right"

    • @donnyjones6717
      @donnyjones6717 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Mmmm I'm not gonna say that's egregious but it is a false equivalency.Kawhi dosent fit well on the warriors his play style is very old school as for the warriors who is known for 3s is very new school. Kawhi on the warriors would be nice but that's like adding the wrong sauce to a recipe. Sure the dish would probably still taste great but it cant reach it's full potential. Simply because Kawhi either cant or is unwilling to conform and play a modern style of basketball either shoot 3s or beat your man off the dribble and go for a dunk or a layup. Now putting KD on the RAPTORS would would work cause of repertoire of skills on offense. Put in the fact that KD is crazy long then you'll probably get a better match than kawhi imo.

    • @ericlind6581
      @ericlind6581 4 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      Donny Jones No that's inaccurate. Kawhi played fine with the Spurs who's ball movement system was modeled after by the Warriors and many other teams. He would fit with GS without a problem.

      Buddy the raptors got gifted that chip and anyone who watched the finals or the season would agree. If the Warriors don’t have KD and only Klay and Steph the would’ve probably won. It came to them losing both KD, Klay, and that’s while the Center has a broken collar bone as well. 2 of the 3 superstars aren’t playing and another starter cant lift his arms above his head without excruciating pain.... and you still almost lose the series? That’s called a charity Chip and Toronto better enjoy it because they won’t see another NBA championship in 20+ years.

If Kawhi stayed on the team but could also lure in a paul george without giving up anybody significant it with Kawhi they're the favorites but bring in paul george the chip is already theirs.

      I disagree. Lebron WAS the best, but now you got to take age in consideration. To still be able to play as he does and still be probably top 3 is incredible, but Kawhi right now surely is better until proven otherwise (in the playoffs because that's where the best players are decided not the regular season).

      @@janismuzikants9320 No. We're in the regular season RIGHT NOW so we decide the best players RIGHT NOW in the regular season. Kawhi is not the best player in the world. You can't be the best right now because you played well months ago in the playoffs. KaLoad management is definetly proving otherwise right now. Just fucking listen to yourself for just one second.

      @@goatruso3198 don't be silly. You know this is not true.
      When was the last time regular season MVP was also named best player in the world? Probably when Lebron WAS MVP several years ago in his prime and there was no discussion. After that he was still named best even not being regular season MVP because of his playoff success. But that was couple years ago (missed playoffs last year).
      By your logic, if we decide the best player right now, should we say 3 best players right now are Giannis, Harden and Luka (MVP frontrunners)? Probably not, right? Because playoff success matters, Kawhi is clearly the reigning finals MVP right now and unless he plays terrible in regular season (not gonna happen) you have to wait till post season to see who comes out on top. Because that's what matters.

      We aren’t judging the better team by one game, if that was the case a couple of teams are better than the Raptors or Clippers.
