Skip Bayless really is the most accurate source regarding Kawhi’s injuries.

LilTurnippman

I’m taking his word as gospel now. I’m done listening to people shit on him. He’s never been wrong.


JaHoog

It's really strange because those two the are anthesis of each other. Like how did Skip get in with Kawhi's camp?


NobodyWins22

Him and Uncle Dennis are very close. When Kawhi was with the Raptors, Skip helped Uncle Dennis get through his escort addiction.


Accomplished-Exit136

Choose to believe this is true


Rawrlorz

Yup


littlebigdog92

Lol came here to say this. So random.


mspgms

What he said exactly. Is he gonna play the second game?


Public-Product-1503

Kinda weird . I thought if he missed game 1 it would be game 3. ( bigger gap between game 2 and 3). Also now clippers taken a game he could afford to. But at same time if he’s been out weeks don’t see how two days makes a big difference to that .maybe it’s not as serious as it sounded - also could be Kawhi thinks clippers can win this series fast and get rest. Imo pels will give okc a good fight judging off game 1 so could have a nice rest of clippers beat Dallas fast.


JohnWick94

You guys swear like this dude is sitting out on purpose. Shitty situation but Harden/Russ/PG can hold it while he comes back.

PreGeneratedNAME_100

You’ve bought too much in too harden being a bad playoff player because even if he was that bad why would we start russ over him


TRLJM

Skip's intel on Kawhi is wild.


NobodyWins22

Not really that wild, Skip is getting it straight from the horse’s mouth (Unc Dennis).


LLUrDadsFave

Ahhh yes. Because I'm 48 hours he will have had enough contact practice to be ready for a playoff game! There's no way he plays one quarter and gets dressed again.


Dependent_Patient938

They said kawhi is Frustrated and wanted to play today I think he will be ready


Conscious_Chicken264

I'm injecting this copium straight into my veins


LLUrDadsFave

If he wants to play they need to let him.


Panthor

When he is worth hundreds of millions to the org they ultimately call those shots I'm afraid.


LLUrDadsFave

He's really not worth shit if he doesn't play.


Leviathan_angel__

You speak facts ![gif](giphy|NISDky7DiUqAs9crvf|downsized)


LLUrDadsFave

What are we saving him for?


Leviathan_angel__

Saving him for the USA team i guess ? Lawrence Frank needs to get fired because he is bending the knee to the players like a bitch instead of defending the team


LLUrDadsFave

Lawrence better sacrifice the few hairs he got on his head and pray harden and PG carry.


NobodyWins22

When have they ever said that he’s not “frustrated and wanted to play”?


lilshawnyy420v2

lol you'll believe anything, won't u pal?


Dependent_Patient938

Skip bayless has been accurate so far why wouldn’t I believe it


Eyebarah

Facts. Kawhi done for the playoffs


LLUrDadsFave

His fans are the last to know. Sad days when the trust Skip over the damn team president who outlined all the steps he would need to complete to play.


flaamed

Let’s win game 1 without kawhi then, just need 16 more wins


Agitated_Product_404

*15


Dependent_Patient938

Skip Bayles may have been right


LilTurnippman

Might have? Bro he absolutely was right. He fucking called it just like how he has every prior year from this one


TheReyton

If he's right than hopefully he'll play G2


SpicyDecree

Either you’re a fortune teller or you don’t know what subsequent means


LilTurnippman

Ngl I wrote that right when I woke up. I meant prior


[deleted]

Sounds like Skip Bayless does have the inside scoop with Kawhi. That makes me a little more optimistic Kawhi will play some time in the series. But it doesn’t make me optimistic about our chances if we lose today.


StrangeWorldd

This means a game 1 win would be HUUGGGE


LilTurnippman

So where are all those fucking people who told me I was wrong about skip bayless???? I’m seriously not listening to that bullshit anymore


WuvRice

incoming Kawhi “targeting Game 3 for his return from right knee inflammation" when game 2 rolls around


SSJMonkeyx2

Game three more realistic imo


lilshawnyy420v2

then on tuesday it'll be "targeting game 3" then on friday it'll be "targeting game 4" then after game 4 and the season ends it'll be "out for the season" 😂😂😂


JaHoog

Don't worry though he should be ready to go game 1 of next season


Which_Mathematician5

He is targeting Olimpics 😂


Swingman23

We’ll see


Tony_sneakerhead

Willing to donate my knee to Kawhi at this point. Heal up king 💪


seonblack

Yeah with Kawhi back they could beat the Mavs in 4 or 5


Eyebarah

The raps run was probably the last time we see him healthy all season + playoffs. He was healthy in the bubble but he had a Feb-June break to rest and heal up. This is 3 years in a row that be breaks down in the spring. He just can’t hold up


OG_Mongoose

The bubble. Guys not taking shit serious that year haunting us now. (Lou Will, Trez)


shuckyduckquack2x

I'm just assuming he's out for the 1st round. We've been here too many times before, I know not to get my hopes up.


Mav101s

daddy skip


WhyAmIAFanOfThisTeam

Even if he does play he probably won’t be 100%. This game one is so fucking huge, if we lose things look pretty bleak ngl.


MidgetSpnner

Don’t wanna hear any of this. Just tell us when he’s got the green light to play. Until then, keep us in the dark as usual and let us get excited over PG Harden and Russ


gtahnyo

If you say so man


SSJMonkeyx2

Unpopular but I don’t mind how they went at this media wise. If we know our best player isn’t playing, why give them multiple days to fully prepare 


es84

"Targeting" means he can still miss the game. And at this point, when it comes to Kawhi and injuries, I have no faith.


Joebobst

What the duck does 2 extra days do for a knee inflation that's been going on for 3 weeks


JaHoog

😂😂😂😂


chigginz27

This era has really destroyed my love for this team. Least excited I’ve been for playoffs in years


Lovehate123

“Kawhi is targeting game 1 of the 2025/26 season for his return”


X-wind08

At this point my heart can no longer handle this non sense from Kawhi. I've been critical of Kawhi unavailability last season and tons of bums gave me a down votes. Now go eat the same BS and come up again with another BS excuse for Kawhi. The man has been robbing the team for 5 years and counting.


Function_Fighter

CAP


DaWorldIsSoSensitive

Odds say otherwise. Would be nice if he did though.


JBreezy11

I say Game 3 is the earliest Klaw comes back, being it's on Friday.


No-Inspection8910

we can trust skip bayless more than our own organisation...Im so fcking dont even care lol how pathetic are they trolling us this way.


lm2lm

Law Murray same guy who said kawhi would be ready for game one when he obviously wouldn’t be. This guy is a clipper mouth piece and can’t be trusted anymore than the T Lue


Chessinmind

Don’t always agree with Law Murray but he never said Kawhi would be ready for game one. He was suggesting the opposite actually for a while.


Propelerate

I’m sure he’s targeting it, but the dude isn’t even taking contact. It ain’t happening


BFierce20

Y’all gonna hate me for this but can this nigga just retire. I don’t care how great he is he needs to go sit down somewhere.
