Durant isn’t a 1st option anymore on a serious team

Tbh, it’s been one of his weaknesses for a long time.

He’s simply better as a second option, but he keeps getting put in and putting himself in first option roles

Basically same defensive plan the Spurs did. Deny KD the ball or make him pass. He isnt a good passer off a double team.

rusty512 | Pistons

Same shit with Ausar in Detroit. They need his defense down the stretch of games but the coach can’t put him in because you’re basically playing 4 v 5 on offense.

Lizpy6688 | Rockets

60 | 7 hours ago

Ime can’t run an offense is the issue. He has some of the dumbest fucking line ups and his “offense” is depending on iso ball and offensive rebounds. That’s it. Why are we having KD bring the ball up consistently like that when he’s getting double, even triple teamed. Have Amen and Reed bring it up, have someone set screens off ball for KD, curl, cut either to the basket or to the corner etc. Something.

But nope, don’t adapt.

Silas fucked out guys development. Ime taught defense… Then fuck all. He only thinks their one side of basketball

mr_antman85 | CLE

36 | 7 hours ago

They have no PG. Even when Sengun is in, the offense isn’t any better. It’s Durant or fail.

Horrible that they didn’t even try to pick up a PG.

Considering they’ve been competitive with all of those teams all season and are now hitting a win streak against them, yeah I’d say they’re on the level. Spurs and Thunder are clear second and first, past that the bracket is shuffling wildly. People would had a lot of fun watching it if they’d just acknowledge the stakes rather than dismissing every other team than their own

Dummmy99 | Lakers

36 | 7 hours ago

If we’re looking at 3-6 I have the most faith in Denver, and the Lakers. Denver because they have won before and Jokic is insane. The Lakers because Luka has always been a playoff riser and Lebron will definitely get a lil boost come playoff time even if he isn’t the player he was.

Shabozz | NBA

23 | 7 hours ago

To me LeBron is the real make or break of the team, I feel like Luka and Reaves are much more dependable at this point in their careers. If it’s a matter of will and fortitude then I have full faith in LeBron to push through and bring the intensity. But that only happens if his body can handle it, and in a 7 game series that’s going to be put to the test.

Smart is a fuckin dawg. That’s what matters. Yeah there will be games where he bricks a bunch of threes out turns it over. He may even lose us a game with some bonehead plays.

But he plays so hard and he’s not scared. And his defense is incredible. He’s had so many clutch moments this season. And with three elite ball handlers on the floor he’s not asked to run point. So it limits a bit of his downside.

Fuck Clint Capella! GIVE ME DOMINAYTON!

Capella was killing LA in the first half, then Ayton played like Capella in his last stint and the Lakers instantly went on a run and won the game.

A steal in the double team, some nice rim contests, 2 OREB putbacks, rim run bucket after getting position on a guard.

Some real wisdom to be had in this game

Capella was killing us, and yet Houston can’t just execute down stretch when Lakers can’t even score for 8 minutes.

When the Lakers figured out they can just double KD as soon as he crosses half court and take away all of Houston’s O

Idk how you’re supposedly a top tier coach and can’t figure out how to counter a double team on your star player….Rockets offense is putrid

If tonight proved anything, it’s that Deandre Ayton is the Deandre Ayton of Clint Capelas. Make of that what you will.

kevin durant is 8 ft for no reason. Year 20 and still can’t handle double teams by using his height advantage. Single handedly lost the Rockets this game. Play off ball bum when you are struggling this much. Even kawhi is better (derogatory) at handling these doubles

What does Ime Udoka do? His entire coaching tactics is rugby, offensive boards, and pray.

Disgusting basketball

If you double KD Rockets can’t do shit. He doesn’t handle the double well at all and everyone else looks lost. Why don’t they just let Amen run the offense?
