    I knew the Clippers were going to lose the closeout game when Paul George said, "we're in the driver's seat." What a stupid comment. How are you in the driver's seat when you're playing a closeout game and it's not like you are at home, you're in a neutral site and you were up 3-1. What a fool.. To be completely honest, it's probably time to kick Doc Rivers to the curb.... and oh, Paul George just realized that the driver's seat had an ejection button...😱

      To those saying the first comment here is wrong, he's absolutely right. What this video doesn't show is that it took less than a week for max to change from Giannis being the best in the world to Kawhi. He often lives in the moment,so as soon as his pick fails he jumps to the other. The best player in the world have to put in the work overtime, one bad game or series isn't supposed to change that.. Lillard was the bubble mvp playing better than anyone then.. Was he the best in the world??

When his shot wasn't falling, kobe still found ways to contribute. Kawhi and George did nothing right in this second half.

    Max was so desperate to defend Kawhi he had the audacity to bring up Kobe’s performance in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals along with blowing a 3-1 lead against a Suns team that was far more superior. First of all, that Lakers team had no business of even taking that Suns team to the full 7 games with the “reigning” MVP Steve Nash, even though that year Kobe was clearly robbed, let alone being up 3-1. The ONLY reason they were up 3-1 was because of Kobe. Second, did Kobe have an awful offensive performance in Game 7 of 2010? Yes, he did... but did he let that stop from competing? Absolutely, not! Kobe decided to crash the glass and came down with 15 boards, and he continued to be aggressive by getting to the free throw line. That’s what WINNERS do! Max needs to know when to sit down & be quiet because I’ve never seen someone be so petty.

      @@JimmyLeSpurs And people said 'Can't play in Canada because they don't know how to market their stars and Canada is so far away from the big US markets' yet Kawhi became 'King Of The North', the entire country became swept up in Raptors fever, they had watch parties all across the country for the Finals, it was incredible! Not to mention Kawhi had a terrific cast of teammates, a solid coach, top-notch team management( Masai Ujiri is one of the most respected people around the league ), you name it, it was a perfect set-up. And the Raptors managed Kawhi's 'Load Management' strategically and perfectly to a tee. You never heard anyone question the chemistry on the Raptors last year like we're hearing with the Clippers now. Makes you wonder now, doesn't it? ;-)
