This made me nauseous. Then I realized it was Trae Young and I kinda got over it for a second. I still hate this shit.

Note the unnatural left leg motion.
Can somebody explain this call to me? Harden kicks his leg to the side, hits Young, and it’s a foul on Young? Is this a legit call I don’t understand, or is it the refs screwing up?
I don’t think he actually kicked that leg much…Trae kinda crowded him. It’s borderline to me

He didn't "kick" it. He unnaturally left it and kept it stuck out as he was falling to the right.

Those are MVP numbers.

I watched most of the Clippers/Hawks game yesterday and he's an absolute machine right now. He defends the biggest offensive threat regardless of position and has no trouble scoring the ball on the offensive side.

He should be an mvp candidate, but Westbrook broke that award…it’ll go to whoever averages the most points/rebounds/assists and Kawhi doesn’t stat pad enough.

I don’t think there’s a player I’d rather have if I just need a bucket.

IF he keeps it up, he will absolutely be in the discussion because he has the name recognition.

The Clippers would also need to win the West, IMO.

I still think they’ll go SGA or Jokic if those guys are top 4 in the west. Kawhi isn’t getting it with 24/6/4…I would support it though.

I think SGA is great, but I'm going with Jokic and Kawhi in this hypothetical. I think they're both better players than SGA right now.

And of course MVP Kawhi is a topic on ESPN's NBA Today right now. The narrative machine is firing up. Still a huge IF that he keeps it going for 2 more months.

We’ll see…I just don’t think it’ll happen at his current numbers. He also probably should’ve won when Westbrook won in 2017

Still think the Cavs are just a regular season team, same as last year.

If you’re doing it by numbers, just give it to Doncic.

Clips are going nuts right now, but I never get too scared of them because somebody always gets hurt. I don't really expect all of their guys to be healthy come playoff time. We'll see.

I love the Cavs and am glad to see them doing so well. They must be a little worried that their huge run comes when a few of their star players are out. Is Evan Mobley a bad fit? Maybe they need a trade; Mobley and other players would fetch a lot in return for them.

Is that a joke? What’s the most first-round picks anyone has sent in a trade? Do we own the record with Durant?
