Geoff’s NBA takes from most recent episode

Idk how many NBA fans are in this sub, so I’m mostly reaching out to Geoff himself on this one.

I agree that the NBA has a problem with guys not playing or wanting to play, but everyone using Kawhi as the poster child for the problem is disingenuous IMO. When he’s out it’s because of actual, real long-term injuries. It’s not little bumps and bruises or soreness that takes him out of a couple games here and there.

That Celtics game Geoff was talking about was in the middle of a week where The NBA scheduled the Clippers for 4 games in 5 days (5 in 7 if we’re even including the next one). So The Clippers, playing it smart, decided Kawhi and actually SIX total key players for the Clippers were sitting that game to come fully loaded for the game the next day. That decision didn’t come from Kawhi or any of the players for that matter. The Clips had no business even being in that game, and I can understand that them even taking it to overtime with 7th-15th in the rotation guys can be frustrating for the champs.

I just don’t like pushing lazy, anti-Kawhi narratives when the games he misses are from serious injuries, not just little things.

You guys are the GOATS btw🔥
