If you missed watching Round 2 Game 1 of the Nuggets @ Clippers Game these are the videos for you.
The Denver was destroyed in this game with the Clippers building and maintaining a lead, we can attribute this to the fatigue the Nugget faces against the Jazz and the Clipper are well rested.
We will however see this if this is true in Game 2.
Kawhi Leonard has fulfilled his contract with the Toronto Raptors and there were no handshake agreement that he will re-sign with the team.
Kawhi has officially said he didn’t purchase a home in Toronto as earlier reported and was spotted with Home Depot boxes.
Looks like he is all getting ready to say bye, bye Toronto Raptors!
Kawhi Leonard doesn’ want to think about free agency and only wants to focus on the current NBA Finals. Fair enough, but looking at how he moves how about the Golden State Warriors? Do you agree?
Basketball Forever has an interesting post on Kawhi Leonard, he would break into their college gym at night to practice but since he can’t access the lights he brought a lamp with him. That is hardwork and dedication!
Stephen Curry is the king of Free-throw shooting and before the Portland Western Conference Game he has never missed a 4th quarter playoff free-throw since 2015.
But Kawhi Leonard has also proven he can calmly shoot free-throws as he have set an NBA Finals record of 16-16 free-throws despite losing to the Golden State Warriors 109-104.
People talking about Kawhi Leonard setting the record:

A Toronto restaurant is offering Kawhi Leonard free dine in for life provided he re-signs with the Toronto Raptors.
Leonard is welcomed and loved in this city, it would be hard to tell if this is enough for him to stay.
Embiid scored 33 points, 10 rebounds to lead the 76ers to a 21 point win against the Toronto Raptors.
The Philadelphia 76ers have now taken a 2-1 lead in their semifinals matchup against the Raptors and the 76ers coach believe they have the best player in the series in Embiid despite Kawhi Leonard scoring an average of 37.7 points in the series.
The intensity, defense of Embiid have helped his team win both ends of the floor, adding 5 blocks and 3 assists in his monster game.
Embiid found a way to adjust against former Defensive player of the year Marc Gasol who has limited him in their first two games. The younger player was able to find rhythm in game 3 and possible the whole series with 70% of the teams winning Game 3 goes on to win.
Embiid was asked if Marc Gasol has bothered him early on, “I’m not really focused on him, Great player, have a lot of respect for him, but it’s a team game. The 76ers star adds, “If I’m open, my teammates are going to find me, and if they’re open, I’m going to find them. So I’m not really worried about them. I’m more worried about my team. You know, how we coexist on the court, how we play together.”
The Sixers at one point led by as much as 26 points and have never trailed the entire game.
According to the coach of the Sixers, Brown, the biggest factor that Embiid brought was his defense — “I mean, for me it goes straight to the blocks, You know, we can talk about a windmill dunk. You can talk about some finesse post moves and that, but I go to defense. That’s what interests me the most to date with this series. … My mind goes straight there. He is our crown jewel defensively, and I suppose offensively too. But certainly defensively. And his rim protection and blocking-shot ability tonight stood out as much to me as anything in an incredible performance.”
