I dunno about the favorite, but that's two really high-end offensive players, and Beal, so they certainly have the firepower to be interesting.

Their top three players all do the same thing on offense. You have to respect the talent, but this seems like a team that will be less than the sum of its parts.

Also not sold on them defensively.

Factoring in the inevitable injuries I think they'll win high 40's in the regular season. They'll be dangerous in the playoffs but not good enough to win 4 rounds.

Durant has played 35, 55, 47 and 39 regular season games since his Achilles injury. He's played all five games so far.

Beal has been a healthier at 57, 60, 50, 40 over those same four regular seasons. He's played zero games so far.

Booker - the young, healthy one - has played 70, 67, 68, 53 the last four years. He's played two games so far.

Hard to imagine KD or BB playing much more than 55 games a piece, maybe 65-70 for Booker. Then you have to hope KD plus at least one of the other two are still healthy come playoff time.

Is Grayson Nut Punching Allen their fourth best player?

KD looks awesome but these high minutes are going to backfire.

It’s going to be another failed super team experiment for Kevin “The Goat” Durant.
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

This Phoenix team doesn't have a facilitator or defensive presence thanks to the depature of Ayton. This will be a fringe playoff team at best.

They miss Bridges not Ayton.

Durant added: “I know some people look at me as this malicious snake, passive aggressive. I know how people feel about me sometimes. When I say (expletive) I don’t mean no harm about nobody.

Yeah, typically when you hide behind multiple accounts, it's considered snake behavior. Kevin Durant, we know you aren't actually a snake, but you are the Fake Reaper.

Someone just needs to take away his ability to post on social media so badly. He'd be so much better off if he just stopped running his mouth in public places.
