Kawhi Leonard of the Toronto Raptors hit an epic game 7 buzzer beater this past weekend. With that being said, I believe the Raptors need to do everything they can to bring Kawhi back.

1. Epic Game 7.

The moment Phillys process ended

One of the craziest moments in sports history, Kawhi not only hit the game winner, but he hit in Game 7 of the eastern conference semi-final.

2. Anticipation at its finest.

The shot seen around the world, this moment blew up on social media. This is big for the Raptors.

3. The picture that says it all.

The anticipation was unreal.

4. Kawhi in the Clutch.

Kawhi is dominant and has proved it over the years.

He has previously proven to be clutch, even though this time last year, a lot of people didn't seem to like him too much over his choice of not playing at the end of the season for the Spurs.

5. Kawhi finally showed emotion.

Kawhi smiles?

While this was an intense moment, it may be the best news for the Raptors. Maybe he won't leave for L.A. like he previously made a big deal out of.

6. Can they take it all?

Kawhi has been in big situations before and has outplayed the competition. I mean, he was the 2014 Finals MVP. There really has only been one player that has outperformed Kawhi this postseason. That player is Giannis, who the Raptors will be going up against in the Eastern Conference Finals.

7. On to the next one.

A truly unforgettable moment

The Raptors are in a great spot. They don't have to worry about their kryptonite AKA Lebron James this year, and Drake found a way to beat his curse on sports teams, which is by wearing the other teams' garb which he did in game 7. If the Raptors can keep their current core, they could be back next year; Kawhi is essential in that. As for this year, they have to get past the most likely MVP, Giannis and I believe they can beat whoever comes out of the west...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
