Who's trying to guard Durant. He sure isn't succeeding.

Unstoppable..

Kevin Durant has cooked three different Minnesota defenders in like five possessions. Dude is unbelievable!

We’re doing a terrific job defending him. He’s just making everything, no matter how contested.

When he’s on, he’s unstoppable. He can shoot over anyone.

I don’t think anybody would be working today.

Defenders look like they are playing well, KD has just been better.

It can’t last forever. Just keep playing defense hard, and don’t get discouraged when he makes really hard shots.

Gobert made that but I am just not really fan of that possession..giving Gobert the ball away from basket with under 7 secs remaining on shot clock is not a good decision.

I feel like Rudy thinks he can make that, and thinks he has all these other shots he can make ..

Confidence is a good thing, I guess?

Fortunately Finch keeps him in his lane this year, doing what he’s great at.

I need to stop trying to explain how Karl-Anthony Towns' (and by extension, Minnesota's) defense works on the General Board. It just isn't working, even though I feel like I am explaining it well enough. :lol:

Love Finch having McD and NAW totally take Booker out of the game.
