Does Luke “Groundwalker” Kennard look like Peyton Manning or is that just me? I swear this isn’t one of those “all white people look the same” deals. I think it’s his forehead. That thing’s like a fivehead except for the little wisp of hair he’s got covering it. But even if he does look a lot like a certain NFL MVP/Papa John’s pizza enthusiast, the similarities end there. Even the most optimistic Kennard homers can’t expect him to be any more than a decent scorer. Right? If there’s someone out there who sees MVPs in this guy’s future, let me know so I can ban you from commenting forever.
Kennard had a nice stretch of single-digit games going before tonight, a pleasing streak in his game logs that is now abruptly terminated by this 20-point scoring bonanza. I swear someone once told me that Kawhi Leonard was a good defender. Did anyone else hear about that? Because if he ever had that reputation, it has been shattered by the flat-as-a-pancake jumper and crafty moves of the Kennardian one.
