Hindsight is damn easy, so the answer to the question of the Celtics making a concerted push for Kawhi Leonard last summer may be a resounding YES. His new team, the Toronto Raptors, will face the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the Finals tonight - and Kawhi is a prime reason that the Raptors have come this far in the post-season.
In 18 playoff games thus far, Leonard is averaging 31.2 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 3.8 APG and 1.6 SPG while shooting 51% on field goals, 39% from beyond the arc and 88% from the charity stripe.
