Kawhi Leonard is a raptor btw.Comment

Since Leonard + the Raptors have all been saying he's fully healthy already and not given any specific rationale for why they're resting him regularly (just generic statements about taking it easy and being precautionary), I thought this was interesting:
https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/1...s-lebron-jamesOne person inside the Raptors organization said the expectation is that Leonard will be fully healthy and peak around the All-Star break.
Taking a couple months to peak after a year off makes sense, the reference to "fully healthy" is interesting tho."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi LeonardComment

Leonard wants you to know he didn’t grow up a Lakers fan. Yes, he’s from Los Angeles, born and raised, and played basketball at not one, but two high schools in Riverside County, 65 miles east of the Staples Center. But before the question is finished being asked at Raptors practice Saturday morning, Leonard is already shaking his head no.
“My family was but I wasn’t,” Leonard said. “I liked Allen Iverson, I was an A.I. fan, so I didn’t like the Lakers.” He is sitting on a folding chair inside one of the gyms on the UCLA campus. The setting is familiar: It’s where Leonard, James, and Kevin Durant, among other NBA stars, participated in workouts this offseason. It’s also close to another gym on campus where this picture was taken in late August:
By then, Leonard already had been traded to the Raptors, but reports that he preferred Los Angeles loomed. They still do, even though the Raptors have rolled to start his first season in Toronto. Leonard was nonplussed when facing questions about L.A. on Saturday.
Yes, he would spend time visiting with his family and get “some lovely hugs.” But when asked how important those hugs were, he was thrown off. “This what we talking about?” Yes, he planned to get “some good food,” but no, he wasn’t sure what that food would be. Sitting next to him, Kyle Lowry scoffed at the thought that his choices would be “spontaneous.” Kawhi smiled slightly. Saturday’s scrum at UCLA was Leonard’s only media appearance of the weekend, and he couldn’t have been more pleased. Soon after Saturday’s interview was over, Leonard muttered, “This is why I don’t like talking to the media.”9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of ForumComment

Jonas Valanciunas, said: “Kawhi doesn’t need to talk, he doesn’t talk nonsense. He’s a killer.”Comment

Jonas gave the quote last playoffs about the Raptors not being mentally tough enough. He's one guy who clearly gets it while everyone else delivered platitudes about playing hard.Truth Teller wrote: View Post"We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi LeonardComment

I remmember when one of the announcers mentioned that that's exactly what he heard him saying in the game 4 versus Cavs last playoffs. During the game while sitting on the bench: "We're weak, in here" - points to his head.S.R. wrote: View PostOfficial Pope of the Raptors sponsored by MLSE.Comment
