Kawhi will participate in “a quarter” of today’s practice, said Ty Lue, as a ramp up for Sunday’s Game 1. Will he play? “Hopefully.” – 6:06 PM

Asked TMann about Kawhi
“I’m not too sure. I haven’t been in contact with him too much, at least about his health. I’m sure T. Lue will be able to answer that.” – 5:23 PM

LeBron vs KD & Kawhi…
KD is 1st among them in PTS & BLK.
Kawhi is 1st among them in STL & WS.
LeBron is 1st among them in FG%, EFG%, TS% AST, REB, BPM, OBPM, DBPM, VORP.
Not sure how to argue LeBron doesn’t deserve one of the 2nd team All NBA spots. – 7:55 AM

Weird thing is happening with a lot of All NBA ballots, where it seems to just be assumed Kawhi & KD are 2nd Teamers over LeBron… but I just can’t identify *why* that would be the case.
What’s the stat, metric, or eye test that either has been better? stathead.com/basketball/ver… – 7:45 AM

I’m going to take a shot in the dark guess on the 12th roster spot for Team USA:
I think that spot belongs to Kawhi Leonard if he’s healthy enough to play, but, as always this time of year, that is a major mystery.
So we’ll see. If not, there are obviously other options. – 7:31 PM
