FromTheLand+FollowWhat If Kawhi Never Got Hurt vs the Warriors in 2017?Game 1 of the 2017 West Finals — the Spurs led 78–55 when Kawhi Leonard went down with an ankle injury after Zaza Pachulia’s closeout. Golden State came back, won the game, and went on to sweep the series, finishing the playoffs with a historic 16–1 record. But what if Kawhi stayed healthy? Could the Spurs have stolen Game 1 — and maybe more? Even if they didn’t win the series, they might have been the team to prevent Golden State’s legendary 16–1 playoff run. Do you think the Spurs could’ve pulled it off, or were the Warriors just too loaded? #KawhiLeonard #Warriors #Spurs #NBAWhatIf #NBAPlayoffs #NBADebate #ZazaEffects #NBAHistory #Sports 42Share
