Thats like prime Nathan peterman number

You’ll be hearing from his burner

Especially against the Lakers defense.

Wasn’t even like all of those were because of bad ball protection, at least 3 were just because he has no spatial awareness. Backcourt violation, 8 second violation and an offensive foul.

Though I guess ‘Toe-on-the-Line’ KD would know about no spatial awareness

This is how the Celtics shut him down in the playoffs as well. Double him and hes useless

JJ got smart and decided to double their only offense

Yall hate but AR was in his jersey most of the game

Lakers defense has actually been locked in recently

Took KD point shaving for yall to beat us.

Only half joking.

Statbammed his way for 2 points

Teams need to stop making trades for current KD to be their 1st option

He simply can’t handle the ball well enough anymore to step up in games like this when swarmed I think he’d be great as a 2nd option but he’s not going to fix serious flaws himself

He’s much worse in that regard now than he was before

The criticism back then meant “you’ll stumble at the final hurdle with him as the leader” now I think he’s declined enough that you probably can’t win a playoff series if you’re relying on him as much as Houston

At this stage he’s basically incapable of doing anything when he gets doubled

Taking chucks opinions seriously is certainly a choice

People always say Jayson Tatum is the best 1b player, but KD has been making a case over the last few seasons.

Said this the other day but he’s a great/efficient scorer but he does not impact winning the way LeBron and Kawhi do. Blame the rockets player being ass but it’s also on KD not being able to pass out of a blitz at the top of the key or telling guys where to go/how to play out of it

Only thing chucky cheese knows is how to be a loser

You guys love to regurgitate whatever you hear on tv was Kobe a bus rider when Shaq won those 3 finals mvps as well

The 8 second violation was egregious for me

even that was a team turnover lol

With the difference that Luka is one of the best passers out of doubles ever and KD is totally clueless.

Luka can actually make a good pass out of the double though

It’s a combination of having an inept offensive coach in Ime and inept teammates and a guy who can’t read a double team

Watching him get doubled near halfcourt with bad teammates surrounding him

The recent of Steph on the Warriors be like…

Give him this team and he takes them to the conference finals at least (I guess swap him with KD to make it fair). Doncic is exactly what this team needs, which is, a competent offense and some shooting. Him, Jokic, Lebron, Harden, 1 man offenses like that is what Ime needs because he can’t run a proper offense otherwise. Doncic/Tari/Amen/Jabari/Sengun with some Okogie, Sheppard, Capela minutes. That’s a good team. The defense can absolutely cover for him, they get an actual offense, one of the greatest engines ever as your floor, Amen plays his role instead of being a PG, Sengun becomes the best big he ever played with, Jabari takes the Rui but much better defense role. Okogie, Tari and Amen will be like Marcus Smart but 3x and better, just running around. And he gets Clint Capela

His ball handling/playmaking hasn’t been good enough for a 1st option in years and teams keep acquiring him to be their first option which inevitably doesn’t work in the big matchups

The seasonal PPG/TS% hides his decline but he’s been doing stuff like this against playoff intensity defense since the 2022 Boston series

His teams tend lose a key guy to injuries every year or he gets hurt

Yep.

I mean, I’m pretty sure KD didn’t cause Covid-19 lol

I guess injuries don’t play a part in anything I wonder if the rockets have any injuries of note

Toxic woman who keeps switching boyfriends

Steven Adam’s what?

Tbh they’ve been cooked since they didnt try to trade for a pg to make their offense more fluid, they traded kd cause they thought he was their final piece, why not just go all in for this season?

The caveman. That was my man on underdog. Steady cover rebounds for me

The last part is kinda bad luck. He ran into the Heatles in his first Finals appearance. Then got torched by Game 6 Klay.

Sometimes things happen in sports where you come up short.

Harden is a far superior playmaker and has no rings and a terrible playoff reputation. Lazy analysis

Ant hasnt figured out doubles. He’s better than KD at dealing with them but still ways to go

No tf he has not. Earlier this season he said idk what the Lakers were doing on defense

Hornets he goes where vibes are good and makes them not good

SuperSonics.

Quote me

Lowkey the Cavs alongside LeBron farewell tour. Smth like Allen + Strus + Merill for salary match. Then retiring with the Sonics

Heat. Destroying them will be his last mission.

Wizards, time for him to come home

Kinda crazy how the vibe just dies on all of KDs teams

at least the nets and suns got one good year in while we peaked on fucking thanksgiving lol

Injuries are the cause of almost every collapse except the suns.

Being with the nets? Durants issues started with okc

He faced those coverages much better on the nets even though he still turned it over. He was more aggressive off the doubles but now he picks his dribbles and allows the defense to box him in.

I mean KD having a bad night will just happen, he is 37, if I were a Rocket fan I’d be worried that there is no backup.

Yeah he got it in the last 30 seconds after Lebron iced the game.

Lockdown defense

not in a million years would the Hornets ever allow him to destroy their franchise
