Kawhi beats the washed allegations with an excellent games on both ends of the floor, getting 3 stocks alongwith god tier efficiency. Safe to say once again the overreactions were too soon.
People keep saying to stop calling him washed because once he gets in rhythm he’s untouchable, for example that stretch of averaging 25/6/5/2 on 50/50/87 splits from December to March last year.
Lol playing against a team in the back end of the the back-to-back, after they give it all the night before… Still wondering why the fuck back-to-back are even a thing, it is a massive competitive alteration of the final results, massively depending who you plays in those 2 games…
Anyway Kawhi was a great player, you would expect a non-washed player to be consistent, not just playing good once in a while. Washed Kobe put up 60 in his final game, didn’t mean he was capable to score 60 at will in any game still, nor that he could be anything more than what he was. This is just a basic example on how pro-sports (or even non-pro) works.
