Now First Take is running with Windhorst's "quote", which is actually a mis-quote. lol. This feels a lot like when the Kawhi trade itself was going down. Like Bill Simmons figured out, Raptors news generates a ton of on-line clicks. Now you add LA into the mix + a dash of Lebron and you've got a healthy set of eyeballs.

Something that I've been thinking about watching Western Conference playoffs...
Suppose load management is one of Kawhi's priorities for future years as well. He wants a team that can rest him 20 games a season and still be set up for a strong playoff run. Raptors can give him as many load management games as he wants. Can any WC team (particularly the Lakers or Clippers) promise him that they can rest him when he wants, weather other injuries to key players, and still coast to a good playoff seed? While the top level competition is similar in the conferences, threshold to make the playoffs is much tougher in the West.

I don't think it's necessarily an outright advantage. But I think we did earn points with him this year by showing that we are flexible and accommodating to his needs.

But for how long can we rest him 20 games a season and still coast to a good playoff seed? Kyle and Marc are getting old. Norm and Fred haven't exactly set the world on fire this year. OG had a rough year. Pascal is the only unconditional stud.

Through 3 games Orlando has 67 free throw attempts, vs 41 for the Raptors. Orlando was 30th in the league in fta in the regular season. Toronto has more paint points and is one of the top teams in drives in the playoffs. In the first 2 games Kawhi has gotten 1 foul called on 41 drives. For comparison, DJ Augustine had more fouls called on drives than the ENTIRE Raptors squad. 5 vs 8 is real.
