The Herd with Colin Cowherd The taxes have a solution already, you don’t get double taxed working in Canada as an American citizen. It’s called “Tax Reciprocity” If Kahwi claims his home US state as anywhere but California or Connecticut, he will actually pay less taxes overall than playing for the Clippers/Lakers. If he claims New England as his home state(he has to buy a home there), he will actually get a tax rebate in the USA.
That's true too, but he did say that this series feels like Dallas when they won their ring. And I have to agree a bit. It feels like Toronto is going to win this series, and may never get here again. it just feels like a special season for them.
Colin Before Game 1: Warriors will take this, best shooter, something about a good marriage, something about silicon valley, something about a CEO. Colin after Game 1: FaIrLy PrEdIcTaBlE
You aren’t good at talking basketball Colon. If you think Kawhi and Lowry will combine for 30 again you’re mistaken. Raps have now beat GS their last 3 matches.
@@49erLA I dont live in Toronto or Canada and I'm in my twenties. I just think its a better city for him, I dont see any good reason to leave the raptors for a worse team in a brutal spotlight market like LA. Wasn't attacking LA
Difference is...in Toronto they leave you alone. In LA...TMZ probably following you everywhere you go trying to get you to say something stupid that they can air.
Sweet James Jones II so many refused to give Kawhi his just due. It’s one of the reasons I believe he left San Antonio. He wanted to show the world what he could do outside of Pop’s system. Screamin A. is another one who’s never gotten behind Kawhi. Not fully. Always throws out the backhanded compliments, but you can tell he’s never been about Kawhi like that.
He should have stayed, but he’s gone. It was the perfect scenario for him and he would have maximized his money. I wish he was still with us, but that ship has sailed (though I still secretly imagine him resigning with the Spurs). Ah, to dream...
Here's the problem Colin. Toronto looked like the Patriots in game 1. A complete team performance where no one took the night off and everyone did their job. All they have to do is try that hard 3 more games and it's a wrap. One things Golden State seems to do is have some combination of their stars get hot. Consistent solid team play seems to be the formula for streaky super-star play.
Totally agree. I use to like watching him. Still watch him a bit but only for a few minutes. Hard to get through an entire segment. Last month he said kawhi was the most overrated player in the league. If he was a Laker, he be saying the exact opposite. One poor take after another.
Warriors shot poorly because the raptors have great defense, not because of rust. This is going to go to 7 games. People only pay attention to offense and 3 pt. Shooting these days...
You do understand if Toronto wins, Kahwi will get multiple parades, not just in Toronto. Vancouver, Quebec City, and Ottawa, ALL, requested federal funding for a possible parade in 3-5 weeks time. That’s on top the money for a parade that Toronto itself will be getting and celebrating, if they win.
S They requested the federal money, and Toronto is the only team since they lost the grizzlies. Vancouver will want in on the celebrations. I personally think it’s to get the recent memory of the Stanley Cup riots out of the conversation. A championship parade will give them the chance to show how much more like stereotypical Canadians they can act.
I think that’s because of the way GSW played defense. They didn’t rotate so there was a barrage on open shots. Didn’t get back in transition. Danny Green is shooting a transition 3 and GSW just crossing half court. There’s no way they even gave their C game. Meanwhile everyone other than Kawhi on raptors were having their A game. Putting up impossible shots and making them. Yet, they weren’t able to pull away. First 2 minutes of 3rd quarter that 10 point 1/2 time lead was down two 2. Toronto won the game that GSW dropped. Not bad because game 3 versus the Bucks Toronto was trying to give that one a way, but Bucks kept giving that back. It’s important to capitalize on opportunities. That’s what Toronto did
Not really, you heard the stats of how bad they were and how good raptors were but wsrriors could have still won. You think siakam is scoring 30 each night on 14 from 17??
@@petergunn961 you think that 22 points is the highest Kawhi is gonna get this series? And if they keep bringing everyone to help on Kawhi he showed last night he can move the ball around and that focus he brings from the defense is gonna keep letting Siakam heat up
Timothy Frederick Mathematically, the Warriors don’t have to win in Toronto twice to win the series. GS could win Games 3, 4, 5, and 6, and they would be champions with only one win in Toronto.
@Jimi Hendrix Jr. obviously we all know how a best of 7 series works. My point was you cant belittle how well the Raptors executed their gameplan in game 1 as just "oh the warriors were well rested and rusty"
The Warriors did not entirely get rid of injury narrative . About their championship runs ( Kyrie in 2015 , Kawhi in 2017 , cp3 in 2018 ) . They don't need KD ..if Siakam and Kawhi get hurt .
Lebron dominated the east with probably the worst NBA final winner team of all time came to the west has a way better team then he did in the east and gets dominated in the West
@@ltssavvy1592 Did you say Brons Lakers were better than his Cavs teams? You crazy. The west is flashy and the east is blue collar. Blue collar is the backbone America was built on.
LOL, Totally agree with why Kawhi should stay in Toronto. LOL, that George Clooney running across a busy street for a coffee mug reference had me rolling. I was sold when they offered Kawhi a pent house.
Dude this guy had raptors losing every series. Making it seem obvious that they were going to win game 1, AFTER THEY WON. Colin you gotta gotta get your basketball knowledge up. God knows how you have a show.
San Antonio could have given him more in a tax-free state, yet he walked away from that. Somehow Colin's argument is dismantled using his own argument.
Fidel Otañez maybe. I can see where he’s going with it. Kawhi gave up about $30 million by forcing his way out of SA. Now he’s give up another $40 million by leaving Toronto. That’s huge. I can see him saying “look, $30 million is one thing, but $70 million? No way!”
You are taking about Kawhi here. He doesn't think or do things the way normal people do. For god sake, this guy still drives an old pick up truck. Who knows what he will do. I hope he stays in Toronto though. The place is great for him. Great city, great organization, great coach, and the best fan base in all of NBA.
@@ksferg1317 I agree. But the relationship between the organization and Kawhi somehow sour over his injury thing. No one knows what really went on. Kwahi would be a great fit in SA as well. There is no such problem with Raptors.
“Offensively they’ll be fine their the warriors” Hate to break it to you but their not the same warriors.Without Durant this isn’t even a conversation.Just like it’s not a conversation with Durant.Nobody to guard Leonard and Iguodala in bad shape.Championships foundations are defence, not double teaming but manning up and handling business.
I think since kawhi is quite person and to him self. He must have a very small circle of people. I think he wants to be around those people, and the only place these people are is in Los Angeles.
Toronto Raptors: 49 million extra $$, free luxury penthouse, free food, great supporting cast, great GM, and he can literally rest for half the season and no one in the organization would mind.
@@getthatgarbageouttahere9686 didn't say it was rigged for them to win or lose was more speaking in general. I'm a bron fan and could care less who wins this year lol
“Everyone played well for Toronto” Kyle Lowry + Serge Ibaka: 4-16 FG, 12 pts And Kawhi only shot 5-14 because he was getting double, tripled and quadruple teamed at times. This wasn’t a best case sceanrio game for the Raptors either. C’mon now Colin.
a good argument regarding Kawhi remaining in Canada. I'm not sure of the value of his shoe deal with New Balance, but I suspect he signed on as a partner, those LA kids are bright when it comes to shoe contracts and although the shoe doesn't look that fancy right now, the perception could change fast if Kawhi signs with the Lakers or even the Clippers. Kawhi doesn't have to worry about taking blame playing alongside Lebron. Lebron, Kawhi and eventually AD? It could reasonably happen! I genuinely want to see Kawhi play alongside Lebron, Lebron is aging and I think Lebron would comfortably allow Kawhi to be the leader on the basketball court, similar to when Kareem allowed Magic! 1 a reserved player, the other more outspoken player. I think it works!
“ your house has to catch on fire for you to go crazy “ 😂😂😂 fact of the decade, that’s the one thing I worry about everyday before I leave out 😩, is the stove on !!!🤔
Carson Truman he was contrasting the Raptors with the Spurs and how they were ok with him siting out 22 but the Spurs weren’t ok with that in his argument which isn’t true because they were. The problem was they weren’t ok with him siting out 73 which is what he did and is a completely incomparable number.
The opening Vegas line had the warriors winning both the series and game 1. They moved the line to favor Toronto because of the bets last second.. Do yall even fact check yourselves anymore? Smh.. Sports media is about as bad as political media I swear
wait, did he just say "thats why I didn't buy in to Milwaukee"? but he had them beating the Raptors, I can't with the flip flopping with a smile on his face as he does it..
Colin is usually his clownish self. Steve kerr dismissed this "10 day break" as a non-issue. He says it doesn't matter. If they won, the media will say that's because they were well rested. If they lose (and they did), the media will say that's because they were too well rested.
I cant believe no one is giving Raports respect. They play good defense plain in simple. Kawhi dont care about scoring 30 plain in simple. Curry is a great offensive player. Draymond is a great defensive player. Raptors have more players who can play both ends of the floor.
If the Raptors win the series and I have them in 7. Then unfortunately for us Raptors' fans he is gone. He would have done what the organization asked for and repeating is hard. Not saying they couldn't but would be hard.
Kawhi, Lowry and Ibaka were 50 points off their best.....50! Ya, sure Colin. Steph and Klay scored 55....ummmmm...that's 5 points better than their season average.....so sure....
Jeff Berg steph had 34 out of the 55 of the points and Colin said he played well and for Lowry, Ibaka and kawhi if you actually watch the game you see they impact the game more than just with their scoring
@@silverandgold6921 My point was that those three can score a whole lot better and that expecting a whole lot more scoring from the Splash brother duo is highly unrealistic.
Preach it Colin. You might be the only guy in LA in which the sun hasn't burnt their brains. This is the SAME case I have laid out for him to stay. LA is the WORST place for a guy Kawhi who doesn't like the spotlight...or as you say..."hide". And ya...49 million is a lot of $$ to walk away from.
Kawhi didn't play well and neither did Lowry, you say that everything went right for Toronto whilst forgetting that their two best players had off nights and they still won by 9
Even if KD returns it will be too late.KD in Toronto regular season did get 51 points with Curry sitting that game because of injury but Raptors still won in overtime. Lowry and Kawhi didn't even show up in Game one so these two players will offset KD. In the last 13 playoff series Golden State has never lost Game one of any series. So this is a different scenario for GS. But Golden State has been down 3-1 and won a series before but different scenario because GS depended on their bench and this GS's bench will not beat the Raptors.
To you Kawhi money point Kawhi also has been driving the same car since high school worth about $2,000.... and he donates millions to charity and events..... he doesn’t really care about materialistic things
People act like rookies don’t make money, maybe compare to the contracts u get for the rest of ur life as a pro, but compare to real life ur still on the top of rich guys, u still make at least a million dollars a year as a rookie
Honestly I have no idea why Kawhi would leave Toronto. Beautiful city that builds around you, caters to your needs, well run, successful organization, and financial incentives. I get you love LA but unless hes really unhappy with his current quality of life, and we wouldn't know either way, Toronto just seems like a good place to have a career.
Do the Warriors need Kevin Durant to win the Finals?
If they want to win
Keep talking Colin so Warriors could lose too just like the bucks.
They need Lebron
Yes I believe they do

The problem was they weren’t ok with him siting out 73 which is what he did and is a completely incomparable number.
Milwaukee was a much tougher team defensibly than the warriors, the raptors had to battle for every W
Yeah. Very tough team...
All I hear are excuses, Everyone is rooting for you Toronto
Wont matter one lick because they're not beating the warriors 4 out of 7 fool so keep dreaming.
Dont forget that the Raptors have an outstanding medical team.
San Antonio was cool with him sitting out 20 games as well but after 60 games we just decided to ask him "a what's up" and he's like "I'm out of here"
"I don't wanna live in Toronto where it's cold and wet in winter!"
The opening Vegas line had the warriors winning both the series and game 1. They moved the line to favor Toronto because of the bets last second.. Do yall even fact check yourselves anymore? Smh.. Sports media is about as bad as political media I swear
Colin’s on fire
nobody knows less about athletes and basketball than Colin Cowherd
colin is growing on me since i started watching him
He is very good but people dont want to admit it
only thing i hate about him is his man-crush on Nick Wright. Collin LOVES him some Nick Wright
wait, did he just say "thats why I didn't buy in to Milwaukee"? but he had them beating the Raptors, I can't with the flip flopping with a smile on his face as he does it..
Colin is usually his clownish self. Steve kerr dismissed this "10 day break" as a non-issue. He says it doesn't matter. If they won, the media will say that's because they were well rested. If they lose (and they did), the media will say that's because they were too well rested.
Okay Colin has some good takes sometimes but I mean this flip flopping is ridiculous 😂
It's not about the money. It's about your peace of mind.
yeah it looked like a team just playing trying to warm up to a rhythm and they got it down to 4 in the 4th quarter
I cant believe no one is giving Raports respect. They play good defense plain in simple. Kawhi dont care about scoring 30 plain in simple. Curry is a great offensive player. Draymond is a great defensive player. Raptors have more players who can play both ends of the floor.
Its not Your Brother, Its not your Grandma, it’s not your Dad 😂
If the Raptors win the series and I have them in 7. Then unfortunately for us Raptors' fans he is gone. He would have done what the organization asked for and repeating is hard. Not saying they couldn't but would be hard.
Great point.
Oh now you knew the Raptors were going to win lol !!
Kawhi, Lowry and Ibaka were 50 points off their best.....50! Ya, sure Colin. Steph and Klay scored 55....ummmmm...that's 5 points better than their season average.....so sure....
Jeff Berg steph had 34 out of the 55 of the points and Colin said he played well and for Lowry, Ibaka and kawhi if you actually watch the game you see they impact the game more than just with their scoring
@@silverandgold6921 My point was that those three can score a whole lot better and that expecting a whole lot more scoring from the Splash brother duo is highly unrealistic.
Raps currently 3-0 on gsw
#FACTS
We are not bailing (never jumped on the bandwagon) to begun with. LMAO raptors have kwahi. Leonard. Enough said
Preach it Colin. You might be the only guy in LA in which the sun hasn't burnt their brains. This is the SAME case I have laid out for him to stay. LA is the WORST place for a guy Kawhi who doesn't like the spotlight...or as you say..."hide". And ya...49 million is a lot of $$ to walk away from.
Kawhi didn't play well and neither did Lowry, you say that everything went right for Toronto whilst forgetting that their two best players had off nights and they still won by 9
Kawhi had a very off night and Toronto torched them
Yuuuup
The playoff is NOT over... stop making predictions based on Game 1.
Even if KD returns it will be too late.KD in Toronto regular season did get 51 points with Curry sitting that game because of injury but Raptors still won in overtime.
Lowry and Kawhi didn't even show up in Game one so these two players will offset KD.
In the last 13 playoff series Golden State has never lost Game one of any series. So this is a different scenario for GS.
But Golden State has been down 3-1 and won a series before but different scenario because GS depended on their bench and this GS's bench will not beat the Raptors.
50 million is hard to let go.. but maybe Lakers can bring 50 milll in endorsements
To you Kawhi money point Kawhi also has been driving the same car since high school worth about $2,000.... and he donates millions to charity and events..... he doesn’t really care about materialistic things
People act like rookies don’t make money, maybe compare to the contracts u get for the rest of ur life as a pro, but compare to real life ur still on the top of rich guys, u still make at least a million dollars a year as a rookie
wtf is every analyst talking about. It's finals. Every game is expected to be close in the middle of fourth quarter.
Honestly I have no idea why Kawhi would leave Toronto. Beautiful city that builds around you, caters to your needs, well run, successful organization, and financial incentives. I get you love LA but unless hes really unhappy with his current quality of life, and we wouldn't know either way, Toronto just seems like a good place to have a career.
