This should be played at scotiabank arena to distract GS while they are at the free throw line.

These answers are rehearsed. Truth be told Kawhai hates the media and is probably a completely different
Person when the media is not around... On a side note reports are coming out that Kawhai is likely going to resign with Toronto!!!!
Yes and the max the Raps can offer him is $190M for 5 years.

Why would Kawhi have any allegiance to LA, it is a crime ridden city. His father was killed while running his car wash business. The rumour is that Kawhi finished constructing his new home in San Diego County with the signing bonus he got from MLSE. The NBA fined the LA Clippers $50,000 for tampering.

I didn't know there were Cameroonians in Toronto. It is a country that's Canada in reverse, most of it's regions speak French except for one that is majority English. Don't know if its a bilingual nation.

Before Spicy P the most famous Cameroonians played football, Samuel Eto'o and Roger Milla.

I know the answers are rehearsed, but only to a certain degree.


Where are these reports coming from? What are your resources?

Holy fuck dude, can you read??? Where did I mention anything about his demeanor? I'm starting wonder about the intelligence of some of you guys on this board. I'm talking about simple answers to basic questions. At the 4:45 mark of that clip, the questions was asked "can you describe the level of defence your team is playing right now?". His answer "I'm just living in the moment, and you guy try to describe and make fun of". Myself nor the reporter probably has any idea what the fuck that's supposed to mean. I've seen other interviews where he's made comments like that. If that strikes you as intelligent, I can't even imagine how you feel when you hear coaches or GM's speak. It must sound like a different language to you.
Being able to pull off good public speaking is now an indication of intelligence? I remember classmates who thought like you, thinking this way of one of our classmates who spoke the Queen's English with consummate ease. Boy could he speak, and sound like someone you'd think is the smartest person around. Yet, he couldn't solve basic math problems nor use reasonable logic to solve/prove anything...while those who communicated in raw patois could.

There are quite a few intelligent, or at least reasonably smart, people who are just not good when it comes to speaking in front of a massive crowd. From what I understand, public speaking is something that's taught in North American schools. Is this true? I didn't go to high school here.

Yes, as an introvert, I would expect him not to enjoy talking publicly and most athletes (like politicians) put on a different face for the media. And yes, the answered are pretty canned. Every pro league, every agent, and even major NCAA programs train athletes in media relations.

I also wonder if people really care whether athletes are Nobel Laureates or the town fool.

Kawhi doesn't have to speak like Dreymond Green, who sounds like Norman Vincent Peale. The fun guy is a true stable genius.

He has imparted his mind set on his team mates, the Raptors could be a team of density!

Is OG playing tonight?

Please don't compare Kawhi to that piece of congealed pus.

OG is on the Raptors active roster tonight, expect no more than 3-5 minutes playing time.

Sure Green is a dirty player but I find him difficult to dislike. He's not Brad Marchand. He has three rings so what he says doesn't come off as arrogant, he has a career as a motivational speaker once is career is done.

The Raptors went cold tonight, they had a chance to win the game in the last 10 minutes. You've got to sink those 3's, you can't fall back on Kawhi. The Warriors are expecting it.

Even so, going into G3, they're going to be more focused. Kawhi's mentality has trickled down to the rest of the team. They will endure the hostility, probably taking one of the two games. Jim Ross is calling it, it's going to be a slobberknocker of a series.

Kevin Durant is in a hard place, he has the same injury that Kawhi had last year. If he plays and isn't properly healed he could rupture a tendon - and wouldn't play again till 2020.

The Fun Guy speaks with Rod Black. BBL don't know Diddley.

once we had GS in the bonus, the Raps kept taking all those 3s instead of going to the basket.

I even heard reports that Kawhi was also actively looking to buy a place in LA? All just reports. don't know what's true anymore. I'd be ecstatic if he stays but fully understand the risk Masai took when he signed him.

Wish I can find that awesome Raptors commercial from Tangerine banking that was about luck. Haven't seen it in about a month, you know the one that had the four-leaf clover and 11:11 in it. We need to bring back the good luck to Toronto with that commercial.

Tangerine sucks, lazy redneck Canadian company. They don't believ in customer service.

They insult my intelligence by stating how much I've made on interest. What it doesn't say is most of that money was earned through ING Direct. Due to Tangerine's laziness, TD Direct gets most of my business. How bad are Tangerine? I needed documents to wrap up my lawsuit, so I visited their home office at Leslie and 7. They were not co-operative, so I told them stone faced that I would be closing my accounts and moving my money to WealthSimple. The tool went upstairs and returned with my documents pronto.

Asshats!

They were 100 times better when they were ING. Now they only offer their best interest rates to some not all customers. Simplii is just as bad or worse. Plus, they got hacked.

Figures.
They’re probably amongst the Bay Street Hall & Oats fans you’d referenced.

I'm good with it. Pre-trade they were a good team but it was annoying to see them play and know they would never do better. I'll take one run at a trophy over another two years of second round losses.

If he stays I'd see it as gravy. Masai has done everything to make it appealing including putting together a solid team.

You're right chuckertmg, growing up a Black Sabbath disciple I should hate Hall and Oates, but I don't. They put a smile on my face, as you get older you need that more than ever. Not that this has anything to do with the Raptors but you did ask.

and now Michael Landsberg reports Kawhi just bought a home in Toronto? He might just be building a real estate portfolio, as he was building a home in LA. The home you decide to build might be more likely for oneself. Who knows? I think we should find out pronto in about 2-3 weeks after the finals.
