Steve Kerr Says There's 'No Defense' For Kevin Durant 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Apr 27, 2019 4:35 pm

Kevin Durant scored 50 points, including 38 in the first half, in the Golden State Warriors' 129-110 win over the Los Angeles Clippers to clinch the series in 6 games. 


Durant's 38 points represented the second highest point total in a half in the NBA playoffs.


"It was one of the great performances I've ever seen in my life. I've seen some good ones, been around some decent players. He just carried us these last couple games of the series. He's the ultimate weapon because there's no defense for Kevin. No matter what anybody does, he can get a good shot. And he knew we needed him badly, and he just took over the game in the first half and set a great tone," said Steve Kerr.


Lou Williams added that there was nothing the Clippers could do to slow down Durant.


"We tried everything. We had several different coverages for KD...Like sometimes -- sometimes you come across special people and it doesn't matter what you send to them. There's no scheme. There's no nothing that you can do with special people. He's one of them. And he showed it tonight. He put them guys on his shoulders," said Williams.

What defender do the clippers have for KD come on lets see him against Kawhi or at least a team who has a guy who can defend KD not Patrick Beverly.. This is a joke haha.. 50 on a team that traded away their best player.. I still think it's a nice feat but lillards 50 on OKC is way better and LBJs 51 on GSW last year also much much better.. Got to rank the opposition..

Lou, it’s easy to acclaim a star to hide how much you sucked...

Maybe Giannis and Siakam matchup with him fairly well. Long enough to bother his shot while quick enough to not get blown by. Maybe keep him under 25 points?
