Earlier this season, Kawhi Leonard famously referred to the regular season as practice for the playoffs.
At the time, it seemed like a little bit of a bizarre thing to say, but Leonard has made it clear in his first postseason as a Raptor that playoff Kawhi is most definitely next-level.
So far, Kawhi has absolutely put the Dinos on his back, and is averaging 32.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 3.0 threes through the Raps’ 9 playoff games.
Obviously, these numbers are unreal, and as you can imagine, everyone is pretty impressed.
After the Raptors clutch victory over the 76ers to tie their playoff series at two games each, where Kawhi went off for an excellent 39 point performance, his teammate Marc Gasol was asked about the Leonard’s play, and answered with one of the most hilarious understatements we’ve heard all year.
We agree, Marc.
He is pretty good.
