It’s just TORN CITY. Understand:
Kawhi doesn’t play with the Spurs, is injured while the Spurs try to get him on court, when they’re known to rest their players more than anyone else.
He goes to the Raptors, who trade DeMar, who loses in the first round with the Spurs with bad defense.
The Raptors become champions on outstanding defense, beating a Warriors team FILLED with bad injuries.
Patrick McCaw threepeats three years in a row, with two different teams, beating the first one with the second in the finals. Without playing.
I’m torn and awkwardly happy and sad with all that shit. Everything loops in wild ways.
Lots of lessons for coaches out there.
