No offensive foul for that Giannis chicken wing?

anyone else find Durant's game boring when he's the primary ballhandler? it's 100% predictable that he's going to pull up because he can and he's so damn good

but not the most dynamic watch in the world

nets are done if they are kd 1 man team. kd is a great scorer but his team loses if he resorts to jumper only.

He’s clearly the best player in the league!!!!

Closest player is luka!!!!!

But nobody else comes close!!!!!!!!


I think Kevin Durant and Giannis is a slight tier above Luka, just because both of those players can make huge game winning plays on the defensive end.
Why so serious?

It’s a wrap if he starts consistently hitting pull-up jumpers off the dribble.

Quite a reach there. Scorer is going to score, color me surprised.

Well he’s not cooking rn. When he gets on fire, it’s pretty entertaining to watch him toy with NBA defenses.

I agree that he’s not top 5 entertaining but that’s totally subjective.

I don't like the Nets rotation.

I'm not sure Blake starting with Claxton makes sense, probably should've been Millsap.

I also don't really like Mills and Carter off the bench together. I know differing skill sets but similar statures.

Aldridge probably needs KD to be the 4 next to him, from a speed perspective. That means if Johnson can't play on the wing then him or Blake will be out of the nightly rotation.

His playmaking abilities have always left a lot to be desired.

He doesn't have a single season where he has shot better than last year's Westbrook. He won't be hitting those 3s. He has occasional game where he shoots 3/4 then 5 games in row with 1/5.
