Watched denver vs okc game today. KD for defensive player of the year award. Maybe nba can shame him into playing defense.

“That’s my game,” Durant said. “A lot of people might say I need to pass more or I need to play defense more. But I score the basketball.”

Thank goodness!! Not so much about the defense part, but Gamma is right about his troubles when he puts the ball on the floor.

If he can just learn to be stronger with the ball in traffic, he will be so much better. Right now russ keeps bringing the ball up 90% of the time. That is the only thing holding him back, if you can call it that. I don’t know if such a thing can be learned or improves as you add strength and grow into your body. What do you think darnell ?

On defense stop jumping on fakes, you are too tall. His 4th quarter defense is os much better than remainder of the game, but I understand it, you can not expect consistent defensive effort if you play 39 minutes. Why are we playing him 39 minutes ?
