Difficult for me to admit this, but yeah, he is. And he's balling this post season like few have done before.
I'm really shocked at how bad the Warriors have been..and I don't want to hear this nonsense about Iguodala being out. BS man. You got Klay, Dray, Curry and KD. That is enough to beat anybody in the L. There's even MORE pressure on the Warriors now to win this series even though they're down 3-2. With no cp3, IF they don't win this series? It's the biggest chokejob in NBA history. I already thought it woudl be the biggest choke job if they lost to a healthy Rockets team...but now with Cp out? Jesus... Also...what an absolute shame that we'll never really know if the Rockets would have won game 6 or not or heck...if they win the series if Cp was healthy....i am gonna say they probably win the series with CP healthy but of course that debate can go on and on now...
I think Durant looks worst in all this. He joined GS to dominate, and if you can’t beat Houston and lose in year 2, massive failure. Twice in a row he asked been invisible in the clutch. In game 4 he didn’t want the last shot and passed to Klay. In game 5 he was like 0-4 in the 4th, completely shrunk, didn’t come get the ball on the last possession and instead Draymond turns it over. I thought he’d broken through all this when he hit that 3 over LeBron to win a finals game and the Warriors easily won in 5, but I guess not. Instead he’s become Thunder Durant, he had ZERO assists in game 5, and is a major cause of the Warriors playing iso ball and taking away what made them so special, their Spurs-like passing. Durant needs to come through these next 2 games in more than just points, but team ball and defense as well.
A lot of this is on Steve Kerr too. He'll pull the starters at the worst time when they've built a lead, and then play the second unit and cost the lead. I've seen the Warriors fans complain about him getting "cute" or experimental when he doesn't need to. Then at the end, when the game is close, KD, Klay or Steph start heaving poorly selected shots. The offense becomes iso, iso, iso. What I won't deny is that the Rockets have played some pretty decent defense on Steph. They've made him mostly a passer and limited his play making and 3 point weaponry. He hasn't been able to get it going like he normally does, and I think that was their primary game strategy.
Trevor Ariza and Eric Gordon are seriously gonna take out the mighty Rockets. Harden hasn’t even scored yet.
This is pathetic, this is one of the most pathetic roll over and die peromances I can remember. Kevin Durant is a fraud. He ran from OKC to a superteam and he can’t even win a 2nd title in a row. I never want to hear another comparison of him to Kobe, or even LeBron again.
This pathetic. How long before everyone start assuming KD was the problem in OKC as well? A team with two MVP's who had 30 ppg seasons and 4 all stars as starters should not be losing to a Mike D'Antoni coached team. Pathetic. They deserve to lose. Only hope now is LeBron kicking the Rockets butts.
Pathetic was the exact word I was going to use as well. Ridiculous. As I said after last game, I guess these guys just don't want it very much.
The refs are basically saying "Here get this freaking game, take it it's yours", and they're still gonna lose to a CP3-less Rockets.
It’s possible for Curry, Klay and Green, but not Durant. Even Kobe and Shaq got it trying to go for 4 Finals, but this is Durant only going for his 2nd in a row, zero excuses. You don’t get to join a super team already in existence to dominate, and then up and choke in year 2 to a team with only 2 stars and ONE isn’t even playing.
61 points given up to a CP3-less rockets team at the half. Good god I can’t stomach the praise that’s going to be heaped on James Harden tonight and tomorrow.
Such weak sauce from Durant the invisible man for the past 2 1/2 games. I'm stunned by the lack of fire out of the Warriors. They just look like they are going to lay down and die.
Durant ruined the NBA with his bandwagon hopping cowardice, he doesn’t deserve to live it down. On the bright side, teams will stop holding back with trying to compete with the Warriors, the Rockets have shown it can be done with only one superstar and a great cast around him because the Warriors are still mentally weak even after 2 titles and 3 Finals.
